So I've been looking about, trying to find anything on which primarchs are coming out next, and as I was looking, I read a discussion wherein many were worried that at the current rate, all the primarchs would not be complete for several years.
But I beg to differ. Sure, they've gotten off on a slow start, but I believe that they will start picking up the pace. Simon Egan has made 3 out of 18 already, and now they have recruited Edgar Skomorowski in the process. This puts us up to 4 models out of 18 (or 19, depending if they make Alpharius and Omegon as seperate models), with Horus on the way, making 5. On top of that, I've also noticed that Forgeworld has tasked Steve Whitehead with all of the Night Lords models to date, as we can see that he has done all the Land Raider doors, shoulder pads, and now even the Night Raptors themselves, so I would not be surprised if Forgeworld had him work on Konrad Curze.
The rate at which Simon Egan was going was about 3 primarchs a year, now times that by the possible 3 sculptors. That means that if we do get at least one more sculptor on the Primarchs, in the next 2 years we could have all the Primarchs, and probably the Emperor as well.
I am only estimating here, but I think that it would be in their best interest to continue including more sculptors, which I believe they will. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more than just 3 people on the project.
So give Forgeworld a little time, and soon enough we'll have them!

FW is finally going at a decent pace assuming the timespan between Ferrus Manus and Lorgar will be their new interval.

On the other hand, I doubt it will be limited to 18 (19).

There will almost certainly be an Emperor (and an Emperor-Horus-Sanguinius-tri-part-model, similar to the Fulgrim-Ferrus lock-in).

That alone will likely require a second Horus (early-Heresy Horus and late-Heresy Horus?), possibly variants of other Primarchs as well.

Add to that the other parts of the Character series (Loken, Abaddon, Erebus, Typhon soon), etc.. .

It's gonna take a while (and why shouldn't it?)

Honestly, I don't even think the miniatures are the bottle-neck. Forge World (thus far) has been following the Black Library books with their Heresy-rule-books, so they can hardly make a "Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra" book before Black Library gets there. See ya all in 2167.

Releasing all the models now or soon would be a titanic mistake from a business standpoint. Releasing everything makes for horrifically spiky sales and you would jump a bit now but suffer being empty handed later. This is a massive IP that really needs to take time to tease out as much revenue as possible.

I think they'll drop them roughly in the order we see the HH rules books dropping. I.e. don't expect to see Guilliman & Alpharius 'til their book. Don't expect to see Russ/Magnus til their book. etc

I'm interested to see if they'll do daemon primarchs after they've done all 18 regular ones.
