It has always seemed strange to me that the majority of the Traitor Primarchs are confirmed to be very alive and kicking around in the Warp. Angron, Mortarion, Magnus, either Alpharius or his bro,(or both) Fulgrim and Peturabo.

Yet all the loyalists are quite dead or long, long gone. That's seemingly pretty lop-sided odds.

And still, aside from the 13 Black Crusades(led by Abaddon, not even a Primarch) that were marginally successful at very best, the Imperium is not really any worse for wear.

It kind of led me to think that maybe Primarchs are a bit over-glorified, considering that there are 6-7 of them confirmed to be alive and active, yet Angron seems to be the only one who ever really 'does anything' anywhere outside the Warp.

Are they extremely physically and mentally powerful? Sure, without a doubt. Would their return actually have much of an effect on the fate of The Imperium as a whole? I dunno...
