Awhile ago, I got curious, and asked the Playground to build a Grey Knight.

I'm once again curious, and wonder how you would build the Primarchs. This is just a thought exercise, so feel free to draw from any source.

A half-Ogre (Dragon Mag template version, mostly for the 'being Large' part) Paragon (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/paragonCreature.htm) Human [Martial initiating class- Warblade/Crusader/Sublime Way Ranger/Marshal homebrew if needed) would probably be a pretty good shell for a 'generic' Primarch. Half-Ogre makes them big, Paragon makes them generally awesome, Tome of Battle gives you a good way to represent their learned fighting abilities and individual styles (probably want to look into the world of homebrew Disciplines to get some more options here, especially for ranged combat.) The psionically-inclined ones would be some kind of psigish, IMO, while 'sorcery'/ritualistic psy use would be represented with spells.

Paragon quasi-deities (large-sized) with a few dozen character levels, tailored to fit the individual Primarch.
