Having said that, it seems to me that the primarchs would not necessarily all fight in an assault role. For this reason, I propose a second battle, with all three classes used to represent the Primarchs, or at least the character of their legions. I admit up front that I am not a subject matter expert when it comes to all the individual legions, so this is simply my best attempt to capture the flavor of each, while preserving some measure of balance between factions.
Loyalists:
Roboute Guillman- Ultramarines
Tactical Marine with Bolter Targeter/Kraken Bolts, Frag Grenades
Sanguinius- Blood Angels
Assault Marine with Power Axe, Plasma Pistol, Air-Cooled Thrusters/Death from Above, Frag Grenades
Lion El Jonson- Dark Angels
Tactical Marine with Plasma Gun/Storm Bolter, Weapon Versatility/Improved Twin-Link, Frag Grenades
Leman Russ- Space Wolves
Assault with Thunder Hammer, Bolter, True Grit/Impenetrable, Combat Stims
Rogal Dorn- Imperial Fists
Devestator with Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolter Coolant/Iron Halo, Frag Grenades
Corax- Raven Guard

As I indicated earlier, the loadouts probably aren't perfect, but they are relatively balanced and no two are identical, though if you pair them off in order you should see that most of them are similar to their counterpart (Guillman/Lorgar, Sanguinius/Angron, etc.). The only major exception is Vulkan/Magnus. I figured the Plasma Cannon was the best way to represent the psychic might of the Thousand Sons' primarch.
Anyway, assuming the suggested loadouts are acceptable, I'd propose a second "War of the Primarchs" match to be fought with these. Instead of Annihilation, I'd suggest "Capture and Control" instead. To the best of my knowledge that format isn't used very much (making for a nice change of pace) and it will constantly force the game condition to evolve as the focal point of the battle moves.
Please reply if you are interested in participating. If I can get at least 6 people per side I'll start discussing a timeframe for the match. I'll also maintain a list here of who has signed up and which Primarch they have selected. FIRST COME = FIRST CHOICE.
