When GW begins the end times for 40k (within the next few years if what I am hearing is accurate) at least some of the missing primarchs will return. When the Emperor dies & fully transfigures into a warp entity to do battle with the chaos gods in the empyrean the astronomican will fail and the empire will collapse. The primarchs will return at this point as GW will need to give the various mini empires that spring up in the wake of the empires collapse an edge. A returning primarch will give any mini empire a figurehead to rally behind and a brilliant general to lead them against humanities many foes that will beset them. In the end GW will have the primarchs return to give humanity a believable chance to survive the fall of the imperium.
