I just figured given our stats we're more likely to make a tool for every occasion than to spec into one weapon.

I kind of want our dudes to eventually be a demented blend of Space Marines, Thousand Sons, and the Mechanicus. With the way we are going, super high quality gear and knowledge among our forces seems like a good idea. Maybe start using drones too?
While that is true... there has never been female Primarchs. For all we IC know, the warp-effect of us being female would make it so only females could utilize geneseeds made from us.
Well, if Big E never made a Legion of space marines for us, I suspect we'd be inventing our own model here at the end of the genemod project. From what I can tell our approach is less singular superwarriors and more "massed numbers of moderately augmented regulars".
...sort of an IG-based Primarch?

Perks & Flaws
Primarch: The Emperor created 20 sons, who rivaled him in physical, mental and psychic might. Roll 1d20 instead of 1d10 during character creation, add 10 to result. All Skill Caps are set to 150, with Tagged Skills [T] set to 200. All Tagged Skills gain +5 per Level.
Warp Spawn: As a being spawned from the Warp, you are an anomaly, with the potential to severely screw up everyone's plans. +2 to Power and Control. Due to the power of your psyker nature, psyker abilities are automatically unlocked. Converts Piety to Power and Control.
Powerful Psyker. As a Warp anomaly, you have a stronger connection to it than even most other Primarchs. +5 to Power, and automatic +1 per year until maturity. [Until +20]
Favored By the Warp. +10 to Random Event Rolls (RER) and similarly luck-based rolls. +20 to rolls against Warp-based entities. You were 'born' lucky. Things would go your way when logic dictated they really shouldn't.
Sin: Gluttony. This manifests as a strong desire to spend time with those you like, even if it would require that they rearrange their schedules around your needs.
Martial: Commander. You have a strong talent for commanding soldiers in battle, allowing them to accomplish nearly impossible feats. All troops under your command gain a +50 modifier in battle.
Administration: Organized. You always have parchment with you, for taking notes. One failed project, barring a critical failure, may be rerolled per turn. Critical failures don't reduce success chances for reattempts.
Power: Brute Force Backing Finesse. Finesse has it's place, but sometimes forcing your way through with sheer power is the best strategy. Apply Power bonus during Psyker rolls regardless of whether it would normally be applied.
Control: Who's In Control? While training in the use of your powers, you were briefly able to influence your tutor's manipulation of Warp energy. Of course, it only worked in close proximity (roughly 5 meters), but it should prove an excellent aid in disrupting rituals. +50 to ritual disruption checks, and minor boost to resistance to Warp energy.
Learning: Fast Learner. Even among Primarchs, you learn quickly. Provides 2 extra Minor Action slots.
Speech All 50: Rhetoric. Different people react differently to different arrangements of words, tone, and posture.

Education: Esoteric: 80: Found the Pattern. Interesting, being a psyker does have something to do with one's DNA, but it also has to do with the makeup of one's soul. Of course, you have no idea how to go about making someone into a psyker, or the reverse, but identifying one is trivial. +40 to Psyker Checks. Additional +20 to Esoteric Checks. Either 40 or 60 Education: Esoteric Perk must be taken.
Psyker: Manipulation: 20: Biomancer. Manipulating your and others biology is a powerful force multiplier... or reducer. +5 to Combat, Tactics, and Medicine Checks. Malus of 5 to enemy Checks in the same.

Malus of the same to enemy Checks in the same.
Psyker: Manipulation: 60: Fleshchanger. Your powers over flesh have grown to allow you to restore lost limbs or cause cancerous growths, and similarly boost or weaken the flesh itself. +25 to Combat, Tactics, and Medicine Checks. Malus of the same to enemy Checks in the same.

Items / Wargear
'Simple' Charms: The first series of Wargear ever created by the Primarch Serras Salnus, these sets were given out to every Head of State on her Homeworld of Thernus along with those close to her and feature:
An Anti-Warp Combat Knife: Keyed to the Bearer's very Soul, this enables them to deal out permanent damage to Warp Horrors. [+25 to rolls against Daemons]
An Amulet of Divination: Worn as a necklace or simply kept on the bearer's person, it provides a limited form of divinatory abilities and will warn it's owner of their imminent demise on it's own, though it lacks the power or independence to do so repeatedly. [+50 to survival rolls, +1 survival reroll per event/year, +10 to background project rolls]
Personalized set of PDF Body Armour: A modified form of the body armor worn by the PDF of Thernus. It's too bulky to be worn all the time, but if the owner is given enough warning to get it on, it will provide protection from anything short of a city-killer bomb, including more esoteric effects. [+25 to survival rolls for leaders, soul-cutting weapons are no longer certain death provided the Armor is on]
Skills
Combat:
Melee [T]: 120. You are much better than Captain Matt when fighting in close quarters, though you have to depend on your superior physiology in any other area of combat, which makes fighting you in CQC a lost cause for anyone else. Difficulty of Combat Checks immensely reduced from greater understanding of direct combat. Tactics Checks reduced incredibly in difficulty due to deep knowledge of combat.
Ranged: 15. Ah, that's what the safety's for. Malus to ranged combat from lack of understanding of firearms reduced.
Stealth: 15. Oh, to keep from alerting the rest of the army and bringing it down on your head. Okay, but... wouldn't that let you kill off their bodyguards, the best troops in the army? Malus to assassination kills reduced.
Tactics:
Preparation: 30. You have learned the importance of preparing for anything. Complex traps may now be set, though only the mediocre commanders would fall into them. Malus to dealing with competent commanders.
Cleverness: 30. You've learned how to make up decent plans with absolutely no preparation. Malus to changing plans mid-battle reduced.
Trickery: 30. You've learned how to manipulate the more simple-minded or strongly driven of people, including in battle, such as enemy commanders. Malus to manipulation attempts reduced.
Evasion:
Lying: 15. You recognize that there are those you simply can't be sure of either way, and information too dangerous to allow the possibility of falling into the wrong hands. How to make Void munitions, for example, as it can get the planet destroyed if it goes wrong. You still have trouble with the whole 'telling untruths' thing, but you won't simply tell people the answer to a question if you have reason to doubt them. Malus to Intrigue actions reduced.
Dodging: 15. You can dodge projectiles and/or strikes, but it's more instinctive than planned. This can be a good thing if you don't have time to consciously react, but it makes planning a fight even more difficult since you can't even guarantee your own position. Malus to Combat Checks reduced.
Trickery: 15. You can manipulate some people into harming themselves or their causes without them realizing, as well as hide small objects on your person, though someone who's really looking will see through your efforts. Similarly, your disguises are downright crude compared to the experts in the Witch Hunters. Malus to attempts at hiding small objects and disguising your intentions or even yourself reduced.
Speech:
Persuasion: 70. You can convince even the most fanatical of people of your viewpoint with some reliability. Even the greatest fanatics can be persuaded of your views being correct fairly easily considering their mindset.
Diplomacy: 70. Compromising between two groups of howling fanatics is more than just possible for you. Compromises you broker will stick even if the governing body is entirely replaced, unless via mass executions carried out at your order.
Intimidation: 70. You are absolutely terrifying when you want to be, despite seeming like a peaceful giant under most circumstances. Only die-hard fanatics, rallying around some kind of champion, will avoid a massive morale debuff when fighting you and will probably break immediately upon losing their champion.
Perception:
Objects: 15. You can tell the difference between objects that are of the same type, but with minor differences. Different types of guns or brands of a food, for example. Malus to examination of objects and logistics-related Skill Checks reduced.
People: 15. Ah, you can recognize a person reliably, being able to tell the difference between them and all but the most lifelike of simulacrums. Malus to detection rolls reduced. Malus to diplomacy from accidental ignorance of diplomats reduced.
Environment: 15. You are now as perceptive as the average person when it comes to the world around you, which is especially helpful with your superior senses. Malus to detection rolls reduced. Malus to acting as field commander reduced.
Medicine:
Surgery: 30. You can now perform most surgeries (removing small organs such as the appendix, implanting replacement organs) on your fellow man. Malus to extrication and/or implantation of pre-existing organs removed. Less likely to cause damage in the process.
Narcotics: 15. You know most of the common poisons on the planet, and the best ways to deal with them. Chance of misdiagnosing a poison or drug and harming your subject reduced. Increased effectiveness of attempts to cure common poisons.
First-Aid: 15. You know the common practices for halting loss of blood, binding wounds, tourniquets, and the use of rubbing alcohol to prevent infection. Chance of those with injuries dying under your watch reduced.
Forging:
Weapons: 30. You know how to make most weapons that you wouldn't need a truck to haul around, though some of the more complex ones are beyond you. Minor decrease in difficulty of related Invention, Explosives, and Electronics Checks.
Armor: 30. You can craft most pieces of armor, though they don't tend to get much larger than your current size without losing significant amounts of quality, or much more complex than the body armor used by the PDF. Minor decrease in difficulty of related Invention, Explosives, and Electronics Checks.
Gear: 30. You can now craft moderately complex pieces of equipment not intended for direct combat, and they don't look too bad. Minor decrease in difficulty of related Invention, Explosives, and Electronics Checks.
Electronics:
Security: 15. You have learned how to defend against hacking attempts (as well as what hacking means) and can even attempt it yourself, though you rely more on you accelerated processing than skill at this point. Malus to hacking, both offensively and defensively, reduced.
Wiring: 15. You can identify common problems, and aren't stumped if turning the device off and on again doesn't work, and you know their common weak points. Malus to attempts to break or repair broken electronics reduced.
Programming: 15. Turns out it's a little more complicated than that, but you've got the basics down. Malus to building or destroying digital infrastructure reduced.
Explosives:
General: 15. You know the basics of using explosives, such as the pin on the grenade generally requiring pulling before you throw it. Unless it's on fire, in which case, run like hell if you can't put it out. Malus to use of explosives and prevention of their going off when you don't want them to reduced.
Extravagant: 15. You have learned the basics of using Void munitions, which are actually a lot like regular munitions other than their effects and the extra safety precautions taken by sane human beings (you know, pretty much everybody who isn't possessed or corrupted) when using them. Malus to use and dealing with Void munitions, landmines, explosives on a timer, etc, reduced.
Preparation: 15. You know how to safely make grenades, provided you have the proper materials, or somewhat less safely create a makeshift one if you have no other option. Malus to creation of small explosives removed. Malus to creation of large or complicated explosives reduced. Makeshift small explosives probably won't explode as you make them.
Education:
General [T]: 110. You have eclipsed all experts in their own fields, and all but the most genius of researchers won't know nearly as much as you do. Immensely Large Bonus to Invention, Explosives, Medicine, Electronics, etc. from deeper understanding of background knowledge.
Culture: 100. You have a knowledge of xenos culture comprehensive enough to discern everything about cultures you've never encountered before. Malus to diplomacy with cultures you are unfamiliar with removed.
Esoteric [T]: 105. You have a comprehensive understanding of the Warp, or as it was once called, the Realm of Souls. Enormously Large bonus to Psyker Skill Checks.
Psyker:
Manipulation [T]: 125. You are able to fine-tune your body and those around you to a degree that makes what is normally considered mastery seem simple and sloppy. +60 modifier to yourself in combat, and +30 to allies within 300 meters.
Willpower [T]: 105. You have begun setting vicious traps within your mind to make it easier to fend off large numbers of weaker Warp Horrors, while personally dealing with any stronger ones, and can root around in the minds of non-psykers as you please, though Beta-levels will notice the intrusion. Immense bonus to attempts at mind-reading/domination, and to defending against such attempts. Daemons will find your soul effectively impossible to take by force, and may very well get themselves killed on your passive defenses whether they try force or stealth. Greater Daemons will find your soul very difficult to take by force.
Esoteric: 115. You have continued creating your book of ways to disrupt rituals, and can casually close huge rifts to force Warp Horrors out of those they possess, and all but the strongest Warp Horrors can't keep your from forcing them back to the Warp. You can reliably predict events 2 minutes into the future, and get the occasional flash of events up to 2 days hence. +55 to combat checks. Can disrupt even immense-scale rituals alone with some difficulty.
Invention:
Necessity: 30. You can create moderately complex tools from random junk lying around a home. Moderately complex traps may be constructed. Surprise Malus removed.
Practicality: 30. You can substitute materials you lack with vaguely similar materials when building something. Malus to building without proper materials removed.
Extravagance: 30. You understand that using more resources can be beneficial, and do so efficiently. You may double a creation's specs for 2.5 times the cost, triple them for 7 times the cost, or quadruple them for 20 times the cost.

Even augmented regulars would never be able to perform as well as Space Marines. They just can't match.
It'd be best to just create one gender Space Marine.
Well, Serras sin is that she feels drawn to other other people and clings to those she likes, even while feeling a profound loneliness because she is just so far beyond them that it is hard to interact meaningfully.
Trying to uplift the entire population as high as possible so she can have equals and form rewarding relationships would be a pretty cool step in her character arc. It would also be very unique among the Primarchs and a possible seed of conflict between her and Emps.
While it is unlikely that she would actually succeed before Emps comes around and shuts her down Primarchs can go pretty far in their specialties, so it isn't completely impossible. We'd probably need a lot more skill in medicine, though, which we don't seem to be getting any more options for lately.

So, you want a Serras Heresy instead of Horus ?

On a 1 to 1 basis, sure.
But nobody asks you to do that when you can go for 1 to 100 or 1 to 1000 ratio, and throw an increased amount of armor and air support to compensate for qualitative inferiority. Shure, logistics is going to be a bitch, but you still can have a great complience speed, ad demonstrated by Lord Solar Macharius.
Space marines are useful, but not irreplaceable.

Well, the Heresy just got that much bloodier with the mortals being able to fight Astartes.

Isn't there some issue with resources when it comes to gene modding. IIRC, genetic modification has never been easy or inexpensive in Warhammer 40K. There is a reason they went with the Astartes instead of an army of Custodes... I think that somehow it was easier to mass produce Astartes? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Not neccessarily. I just feel it sets up an interesting relationship. I would be fine with Emps convincing Serras that humanity ist not ready for such advancement, leading to her focusing on sating her loneliness by SLing the other Primarchs and becoming distant to the concerns of mere mortals.
Or to her choosing to safeguard humanities natural evolution and eradicating malign mutation and sicknesses. Waiting patiently until the day humans can stand by her side of their own strength.
Or her replacing Fulgrim as Champion of Slaanesh, as her loneliness drives her insane and she obsesses with creating a perfect human being to stand by her side, Fabius Bile style.
I am cool as long as the story is interesting.

Well, technically, the Astartes aren't products of genetic manipulation at all. They've had organs with different genetics put into them, but their own genetics have not been modified. From a design perspective this is dumb, but it eased a lot of concerns politically.
You can see the usefulness of pure genetic modification in Deliverance Lost, when the Emperor gave Corax the secret to mass-producing marines. 40k being 40k, the Alpha Legion strikes, steals it and daemonically corrupts the rest.

Custodes are said to be individual masterpieces compared to the Astrates production model. But gene modding mundanes isn't a relative situation.
That's like 10,000 years in the future. Likely not even in the time scale of this quest.
Gotta maintain the purity of the Human genome.
I know, I just want to know if it would be possible, especially since if we could detect them we could detect other kinds of similar meddling
