There really isn't that much expressed in that excerpt. The Emperor thinks the  primarchs are weapons, because they are. What is weak to me is that Guilliman is supposed to be the practical thinker strategist, so why is he getting emotional about his creator's love? So primarchs are these weak emo daddy issued babies now? Guilliman should know his place and be the good soldier he is and fall in-line. That's what he'd just do, not complain. I do understand you can't sell a story without emotion, but Guilliman would not act all dissatisfied and depressed. He'd maintain the Empire in any kind of form he could until his dying breathe.

I think the Emperor told him about the Primaris gene seed. I think the Emperor told him he needs to wake up all his loyal brothers to hold the Empire up until the Emperor is ready. I think he also gave him a small vision of how the Emperor plans to come back into being as a living God since he has been munching on psykers for thousands of years. He is just waiting until he is powerful enough to destroy all four Chaos Gods in one final battle. Guilliman saw this and thought him hypocritical as the Emperor didn't believe he should ever be considered a god, but now he has to be in order to save his followers. The crazy part is I think every Chaos God feels the same way about their followers. They just have to save them in their own chaotic warped way. This is the formula of the cosmos. This is why there is only war.
