It's the old story of "nation creates superweapon, underestimates it and is obliterated along with its foes and the rest of the world, and yet the war still goes on." Well, maybe not that old, and the war on Siraus did kind of end. For a time. The coming war is a new one rather than a restarting the old one. Kind of.

Quick and Dirty Primarch designs

Huh, I really like the application of Devotion to this setting. I think it makes a lot of sense.

I do wish those abilities were a little more consistently triggered though. Probably tough for balance reasons but it'd be nice to have more direct parallelism there I think.

I think I prefer the more varied abilities to show how the Primarchs have become quite different from their common origin, with the cycle structure demonstrating that origin.

Some interesting designs, and the use of devotion is a pretty intuitive choice.
Overall I like what you've got going on here, though I'll have to take a closer look when I have more time. Giving the primarchs their own creature type feels fine, though I think just having the white I've make artifact soldier tokens would be better.

Sorry it's about two weeks late, I don't get up to these parts often.

Yeah, the white tokens probably should just be Soldiers. I mentioned I wasn't certain about making them Throneforged. Maybe I'm less hard on creature types than I thought I was. ;) I hope the designs stand up to your vision on closer inspection as well.
