Guilliman for tactics and logistics.

Dorn for making sure that IoM's defenses are well maintained.

Guilliman and either Dorn or Sanguinius.

Guilliman is obvious. Dorn is solid, but I think Sanguinius might be the better counterpoint to Guilliman. Sanguinius is more inspirational.

Sangunious and Alpharious/Omagon.

Sangunious to play the beacon of hope for all the Imperium to flock to while Alpharius/Omagon weed out all the corruption.

Sanguinius and Vulkan. I mean come on, Vulkan can't be killed - seems pretty obvious to me

Gulliman and the Lion. So they can be killed fully for once. But really, Khan and Corvax. They just seem cooler than the other loyalists.

Guilliman and The Lion.

Guilliman for his ability to put the Imperium back into order, fully marshalling its might, and The Lion for his ability to truly conduct a war.

Basically Imperium Secundus, without the figurehead.

Gulliman.
The IoM has LOTS of generals, many who are all quite skilled. but what the IoM NEEDS right now is a STATESMAN. someone who can take the rotting insistutions of the IoM and revitalize them. the other primarchs will win battles, Gulliman is essential because he's the only primarch who will be able to ensure the IoM can also win the peace.

I really enjoyed the Horus/Kurze suggestion. Very imaginative.

The whole reason russ is missing in the first place, or at least thats what some of the space wolves think. He went into the warp to find the mythical tree of life that has fruit that can heal any wound, supposedly in Isha's realm with in the warp uncorrupted by the demons. If he managed to find said fruit he supposedly was gonna give it to the emperor but you know, skeleton, so give it to rawbutt girlyman and bam! Thats assuming the myths and rumors are true.

Should have sent Draigo :p.

My choice would be the 2 missing Primarchs.

Sanguinius and Guiliman

Sanguinius for being an all round badass in combat, great leader and destroyer of many things (excluding Horus).
Guiliman just for being a great leader. I think solid leadership is something the Imperium would need.

Lion el Johnson and Russ.
Not for positive reasons - both have a very proud view of justice and both are stupidly competitive, whatever they do gets done 110%.

BUT

Everything Russ gets involved with goes to hell so the universe will remain at war one way or the other.

Guilliman and Vulkan

Russ rocking the 0-1 record against the Lion. I'm sure the sweaty space barbarian will do great...until he gets bored or something. Pfft.

Anyway, the best choices for Primarchs to come back and actually win this thing for the Imperium, Gulliman and a toss up between Dorn and the Lion.

Hey, that doesnt count! The Lion cheated.

Cheating only in that the Lion didn't just do whatever Russ told him to. If Russ barged in wanting to start a fight, he should have been ready to end it. The Lion was.

Alpharius Omegon

Dorn because Roboute up the Imperium enough, and it's time people give some recognition to the boys in yellow (not to mention the smurfs just continue to legion build). Oh, not to mention Horus said that Dorn was the best primarch along with himself.....

Russ because everyone needs an executioner, and he's far more than the simple barbarian everyone thinks he is.

1. Rogal Dorn
2. Rogal Dorn

I'll also include a third, just for the heck of it:

3. Rogal Dorn

I also think they should bring back Rogal Dorn.

Unlike the other space panzies, the fists and their primarch actually get stuff done.

When rowboat girlyman was off somewhere writing his memoirs, Dorn was out smiting heretics and getting revenge for his half-dead daddy.

I also wish to point out that the Xenos and heretics might even stop making progress against imperial worlds. Rogal Dorn knows how to build defenses.

translation: while Gulliman was creating the very structures nesscary for the IoM to actually SURVIVE, Dorn was throwing his lfie away in a sucidal rampage.
