I feel the need to point something out quickly. All Primarchs remaining loyal is impossible. Even as a hypothetical. At least three Primarchs were doomed regardless of how their situations were handled. Those Primarchs being Magnus, Angron and Konrad Curze. Magnus had Tzeentches claws in him early on and didn't even know it. He stopped the Flesh change by making a pact with Tzeentch. I can't recall whether he was made to forget it, or whether it was an accidental pact, but the point was he was Tzeentch's pawn almost from the get go. Angron was going out of control even before he was introduced to Chaos. The Butchers Nails made it impossible to control himself, and he had even crossed swords with the Space Wolves at one point. Big E was considering dealing with him even before the Horus Heressy broke out. Finally Curze was cursed with insanity. His visions were so agonizing and traumatic that they drove him to insanity, and there was no one he could confide in. The one time he did he was treated as a traitor. I'm not even sure whether Curze was ever actually corrupted by Chaos to be truthful, but he was destined to be cast out of the Imperium and his father's graces, and he knew it.
