yup, I did write that in the original post. I am going to divide it up into an Article.
Each Character I think will have three Actor nominations and then a fourth left field one for the unconventional suggestion that you say "No way....then well, maybe".
Anyone here listen to Simon Mayo and Mark Kermodes Film Review "Wit-terainment" on Radio 5 live?
It's just a bit of fun. But my friend "The Damned Artificer" on here has used suggestions to make real models. Stephen Lang to Rogal Dorn....So there is merit in this beyond a bit of fun.
so from this...
To this...
To this...
These threads are useful.

I hate to break it you, Ken is already on my list on the original Post. That said you redeemed yourself Magnificently with Leonardo De Caprio..
No Emprah, he needs to be ethereal - If we have an Actor it would detract from him, if we CGI him in with Andy Serkis as the CGI Body, But the voice who would that be? It would need to be Non-British or Non-American a Pure Voice with a Deep Timbre and no hint of Posh British Accent. I reckon Richard Burton would have been excellent, maybe a well spoken German or New Zealander/ Australian.
If we do include Sean Bean he has to be Ferrus Manus because we all know "Sean Bean has to die". I think all the Primarchs really need to be Middle aged, not sure why but young Bucks don't suit them.

I can't believe nobody has suggested Sean Pertwee for anything! He has an amazing voice and has worked on previous GW titles! Personally I'd like to see him as Lorgar.
Also, what about Christopher Eccleston, he should be in there somewhere, he was a time lord and the bad guy in gone in sixty seconds!

I know what you're thinking...
I had the same thought so I'm thinking I agree with you. Marines and Primarchs should be played by people who are naturally physically imposing and look healthy. Too many times they go for the worn "experienced" look when all it is is using an actor way past his prime or who may never have had a prime.
That said, Dolf Lungren was mentioned earlier, he'd be great as a marine or even a primarch like Perturabo. Sean Bean could be Ferrus Manus.

Christopher Eccleston....Hmm not sure any of the Primarchs would have a Mancunian accent can he do any other accent because I don't remember him having anything other than a Mank accent.
"Alright Arrrrrrrrhh Kid" is not something a Primarch would say.

All right I suppose, He's done Shakespeare though, he didn't have his northern twang then.
What about David Tennant? Gotta have a Doctor in there somewhere!

Yup he's the one in the SS Uniform.
If he was anyone in 30k, I would think Fulgrim, he would be gloriously camp with it though. Maybe even Lorgar.
Right I would say that Matt Smith, David Tennatt and all the others ( e.g Doctor Who / Sci-fi Cult series like Red Dwarf characters etc) would all be non-Primarch Characters.
Matt Smith as Olinus Pious, David Tennant as John Grammaticus, Andy Serkis as Maloghurst,

I think that Ron Perlman would be a better Kharn or Angron than Horus. Just my two cents 
Also, I feel like if you died Antonio Banderas's hair blonde he could make a good Sanguinus...

My two nominations:

Plot Twist...
Who would you cast if it were going to be a MUSICAL?
Sammy Davis Jr. as Vulkan? I'm sure we could fit the rat pack in there somewhere, and maybe Neil Patrick Harris as Fulgrim?

I'd cast bullets via a high powered rifle, each painted with an emoticon and a pithy message. I'm getting nasty images of Angron lifting up his battle plate and doing a can can with fishnets while Fulgrim prances around with a painted face and a frilly umbrella.
