Rant all you want. If the US was so jacked up as you say there is no reason why it would have lasted as long as it has.

Back on topic, there is nothing to suggest that the Primarchs would be unable to become administrative leaders of worlds or sectors. Would there be difficulties without the Emporer around? Sure, the High Lords of Terra would just cede authority (that is,rule in the Emporers place) to any Primarch. Besides, if any of the Primarchs came back they'd probably be to busy militarily speaking to actual govern anything. It would be just like during the Great Crusade, trying to unite all of humanity and eliminate all the xenos.

This is probably more likely simply because the Tyranids were not active in teh Milky Way until long after the Great Crusade.

I'd definitely prefer they bring back a character of significance versus adding some hitherto unknown item or character/squad that apparently had been around forever but was forgetton until now.
