Only got his hands, there was rumour he is leading the custodes.

He's dead

died on a chaos vessel

Yep. He got cocky and was killed by the Black Legion.

HERITICS
HE LIVES

I think I should return, after all i am the only one known to properly still be alive

I don't think he got cocky, I think it was a willing act of self-sacrifice/suicide. "Exemplary suicide", as I believe the Assassin Cults refer to it.

I think that if the Ultramarines primarch came back he would immediately demand control over the Imperium. The thing is the Imperium is way too much of a Cult of the Emperor that they would do so. Civil war would break out as the Ultras are pretty arrogant and don't like to play second fiddle to anyone(including each other). As for the Lion, he could come back but I don't think he would make a play for the top job; he just does not like the Imperium enough to care. The other loyal Primarchs have so far not shown enough to suggest that they could lead empires. The ironic thing is that the only one who could possibly do it would be Magnus...

Guilliman would not demand control, he's not stupid. He didn't demand control the last time.
The Ultramarines are not arrogant.
The Lion would definitely demand some high up position, power is what he wants, but he's still loyal to the Imperium.
Magnus? That's funny. He has a massive ego and is concerned more with gathering knowledge than leading an empire.

Guilliman as he is the only one that can figure out this whole mess that we call the Imperium. All the worlds that he conquered during the great crusade were made to be self suffucient productive members of the Imperium. They are still held as an example 10,000 years later. All the other primarchs were either just wardogs that destroyed or were flawed in some way that lead to their fall.

And where, pray tell, did you get that from?

I kinda have to echo what I see as a kinda concensus. Of all the primarchs to come back, Guilliman is probably best for the imperium.

Vulkan could help with technology, but that might lead to a war with the Adeptus Mechanicus, who use their control on technology as a way to influence the empire, might see him as a threat. Though the tossing down of the AM might not be the worst thing...though it would probably weaken the Imperium to a point of doom.

Really? He doesn't care? He certainly cared enough for the distinction of "Warmaster" to be making political deals to be the next one while the heresy was still in full bloom.

As much as I like Magnus, his ideals would lead the Empire to ruin. The pursuit of knowledge is squashed for a reason, the majority of humanity, or Astartes for that matter, simply aren't capable of handling it. Many of his sons were arrogant and cavalier about their powers to an idiotic extreme. The ones that had a good head on their shoulders and were cautious, Magnus either murdered or alienated.
