The whole missing in action stuff is a bit weird I think, I mean in 40k in general they didn't want battles to include primarchs so they got rid of them either by death, chaos concerted or MIA - but why bother with the MIA bits? Did GW pick their favourite chapters to have the opportunity of a primarch return?

Talking of daemon princes - do these posses the same or greater power of that of a primarch? Plus if I've got this right they can't ever die not even if slain in battle. The chaos gods keep manifesting them back to physical form to fight another day or have I got that wrong???

Primarchs are far and away greater than any Daemon Prince (save one who is actually a Daemon Primarch). The Primarchs outmatch most Greater Daemons in fact- Sanguinius in fact beat the Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha, cited in some fluff including the GK codex to be the most powerful of Khorne's warriors, in single combat, twice. Once detailed in Fear to Tread, the second at the gates of the Imperial Palace where he broke the Daemon's back over his knee (while having broken legs).

So basically, the pecking order is

Furies < Daemonling (Seeker steed, flesh hound, screamer, Beasts of Nurgle, Nurgling) < Lesser Daemon (Bloodletters, Daemonettes, ) <Horrors, Plaguebearers) >< Elite Daemons (Bloodcrushers, Flamers, Fiends, Rotflies) < Heralds < Named Heralds (Skulltaker, Blue Scribes, Masque)< Daemon Princes < Greater Daemons < Primarchs and Named Greater Daemons (Skarbrand, Ka'Banda, Fateweaver) < Daemon Lords (Anngrath the Unbound) and Daemon Primarchs.

So who would be a Daemon primarch then?

Angron, Magnus, Mortarion, Fulgrim, Lorgar and Perturabo were all made into Daemon Princes, and are known as Daemon Primarchs.

That comes under missing. The Dark Angels don't even know he's there.

The Dark Angels don't. The Watchers in the Dark do.

It is explicitly stated in Codex: Dark Angels that the Lion is in the Rock, asleep, under the guard of the Watchers

Then that would mean they would possess the same if not more power than a standard primarch?what I mean is from being a primarch already and then boating the chaos power on top of that wouldn't it conclude they were more powerful than the standard primarchs if they were around?

Which daemon primarchs are still around in 40k present day.,??

All of them. Daemon Primarchs cant die. Active ones are Mortarion and Angron.

Perturabo too, though less regular

probably off playing toy soldiers some where, he realy needs to get a life I mean what kind of person plys with silly toys. wait a second...

But surely they only resurrect if the demon gods allow it right? They could get tired of them losing all the time and just keep them offline

How many times have daemon primarchs been killed and resurrected?
