GW has a plan for the Lost Primarchs (and I think I've figured out part of it)

[Karhedron]

There was one place where one of the Primarchs (possibly Fulgrim) recalls the 2nd Primarch being a dour and humourless character. Given that this a brotherhood that included people like Perutabo and Lion El'Johnson, he must have been a real party-pooper for that to stand out as his defining personality trait.

One thing I noticed in the OP post is that you mentioned that there was no legion with a focus on void combat. This is may not be true. I believe in the black book that had the Fists in it, it was stated that they started out with an emphasis on void warfare, the siege shtuffs didn't come till later. Unfortunately, my copy is in storage and I cannot verify this.

IF?  Normally that's "insinuated" to be the Ultramarines usually by Chaos Legions "sowing discord".  Quotes are not direct but the general flavor of how its' portrayed in the fluff when it comes up, if it comes up.

The reason of the 2nd & 11th Primarch being unknown was a tool for players to come up with their own Primarch and corresponding legion. It was meant to promote creative thinking in the hobby.

It is in the short story "The Chamber at the End of Memory". Malcador reveals that the Emperor mind-wiped Marines from the 2nd and 11th Legions after their Primarchs fell. They were then inducted into the Imperial Fists and Ultramarines.

I couldn't find anything that said that in the story. I think that's a misconstruction of what is actually said. Do you have the exact quote?

 

Edit: the bit I'm thinking of confirms the mindwipe and confirms that Guilliman and Dorn argued for the survival of the legionnaires but I'm not seeing anything that says the IF and UM took them into their legions. I'm happy to be corrected.

Which really doesn’t seem to be GW’s priority any more…

Both could be true:  They didn't have a plan then, but do have a plan now.  They are releasing a few more mentions than I would have expected.
