Well here we go in no particular order...

Sanguinus: Jared Leto, everybody's favorite pretty boy... Plus fight club
Lion: Benedict Cumberbatch, just feels like a match to me
Vulkan: Idris Elba, quite good at playing a compassionate badass as seen in Rocknrolla, Ghost Rider 2, Pacific Rim (ish), arguably Thor and Thor 2
Night Haunter: Edward Norton, Primal Fear is still one of my favorite movies with a character dealing with dual personalities (despite the fact he was faking it)
Guilliman: Mark Strong, why? Space Marine.
Horus: Mads Mikaelson because reasons
Mortarion: Guy Pearce, he is talented and naturally has a bit of a gaunt look to him
Angron: Tom Hardy, his acting in Warrior, Bronson (this alone should get him the role), Peaky Blinders, Dark Knight Rises... He's a good rage machine.
Dorn: Michael Ironsides, because reasons
Perturabo: Daniel Craig, his James Bond, cold and calculating (to an extent). Leave the womanizer and suits at home, bring us Skyfall's Bond
Ferrus Manus: Michael Shannon
Khan: Tadanobu Asano, because of Mongol, watch Mongol.
Corax: Chris Evans, merging Captain America, Snowpiercer, and Sunshine
Fulgrim: That arrogance...that charisma... Cillian Murphy or Brad Pitt
Leman Russ: Khal Drogo (don't know the actor's name and too lazy to look it up) or Gerard Butler for that Scottish accent and Beowulf merged with 300 and maybe some Gamer
Lorgar: Ralph Fiennes, bring that fanaticism he had in Red Dragon and put a religious spin on it
Magnus: Sam Rockwell, needs beefing up, but that's what CGI is for
Alpharius/Omegon: This one stumped me for a bit but in the end, Christian Bale namely because of The Prestige.
Malcador: John Hurt, was there ever any doubt?
Emperor: Hugo Weaving brings his Elrond A Game.

Then again, with the amount of CGI this would take, the only right answer would be Andy Serkis as EVERYONE.

Wait, shouldn't Mark Strong be Horus (He looks like him) I think Mads Mikkelsen should be Mortarion. Also, I think Bill Nighy would be a better malcador than John Hurt. Also, maybe Leman Russ should be played by Vladimir Kulich, a big guy who has experience playing vikings. I think the choice for the Khan is perfect however.

Also, not quite sure which actor has the weight (not physical) to accurately portray horus.
