barring violent death (i.e. lascannon to the face) and chaos fueled disease/corruption i thought astartes are effectively immortal?

the emperor, in terms of ageing and health, was immortal. since he used his own genetic code in the creation of the primarchs aren't those traits shared by all, and by extension astartes also?
