Sindri Myr, lets look at things this way.

There is a C`tan god on Mars, right next door to Terra. The Tyranids are drawn to the astronomicon like moths to a fire and will concentrate on Terra. The 13th Black Crusade is not over, and those planet killer weapons are still active. There are parts of the Inquisition that want to actually turn off the Golden Throne, so sabotage from within is always possible. And if all that doesn`t work the Golden Throne might break ahead of shedule, like tomorrow. Those are the known factors. So, why do you assume that Humanity even has thousands of years left to wait?

What might happen when the Golden Throne is disabled, either because of a massive offence on Terra, sabotage, or just breaks? The Emperor`s soul will be released into the Warp. What happens then? Several scenarios are possible. The Emperor is powerfull enought to create Himself a new body( note dr Manhattan). He could reincarnate into a new body like the first time He was created, of course growing up will take atleast a few years. His soul might be powerfull enought to exist in the Warp, and not dissipate, which would allow Him to communicate with the imperium directly. The Greatest asset of The Emperor was His knowledge, second was the god-like power. Or He might even become a new god.

Those are some of the scenarios about The Emperor. What about the primarchs? They are far more likely to comeback and a single one will make a tremendous difference, like lead an army.
