I still think it's proof that the Emperor's arrogant certitude was his biggest weakness, though it's likely some of the primarchs (Guilliman, Corax, Vulkan, Magnus, Lorgar) would have settled quite happily into non combat roles post crusade Most of them would not. The likes of Russ, Angron, Horus, Perturabo for example would never have been willing to quit their warlike careers, The Emperor was dreaming if he thought he could just retire his primarchs without consequences, if the heresy hadn't brought on rebellion when it did forcing the primarchs into retirement would have.
