The potential for balance is there, just needs to be applied. However the purpose of this thread was merely our personal predictions as to what we hope to see in M42. While it's not specifically said that the subject is related to the tabletop game, I can still provide some ideas as to balancing the other factions with the power of a Primarch, though it would be impossible to place Primarchs into only certain factions seeing as how so many are dead. Afterall giving Russ to a Space Wolves player but not being able to give Sanguinius to a Blood Angels player isnt fair in the slightest.

Necrons: C'tan. Gods of the Necrons. Similar to how the Space Marines deify their Primarchs.

Tau: Adding in a new rank of Ethereal wouldn't be that hard. Perhaps them being the personification of The Greater Good.

Chaos: Daemon Princes. Nuff said.

Eldar: Phoenix Lords could match the strength of a Primarch. Making up for the difference in physical prowess with the Eldar's innate psychic aptitude. All the remaining Primarchs aren't psykers, at least none that I can think of.

Ork: Gorkite/Morkite. In the vein of adding in new units, these are Orks that have been touched by Gork and Mork, rendering them more cognitive then other orcs, as well as increasing their prowess to almost unheard of levels.

The key thing is to remember that Primarchs are NOT immortal. To the ravages of Time perhaps. But something can still make a really big mess of them if it has the power to do it.
