Been reading over the various bits of Necron fluff, particularly Cryptek Ozkan the Codifier and his experiments, has anything been written about him seeing Primaris marines? Do you think they are what he is looking for?

here's is part of the relevant fluff on him from Deathwatch - The Outer Reach:
Unbeknownst to Overlord-Regent Ahhotekh, Ozkan has remained loyal to his Phaeron throughout the tumultuous events of the awakening of the Hollow Sun. Under the guise of carrying out the regent’s orders, the Cryptek has, in fact, been seeking a means of investing a Necron consciousness into a body of flesh and bone and, in so doing, of reclaiming all they once had. Ozkan’s researches and secret experiments have led him to the conclusion that only a body as strong and as tough as a Necron’s living metal frame will provide a suitable vessel for such a reawakening, and this can be attested to by the numerous failed experiments hidden deep within his chambers. Locked within the lambent glow of pulsing stasis chambers are to be found rank after rank of once sentient beings, including humans, Orks, Eldar, Tau, and a dozen others, each of which has had a Necron consciousness transferred into its mind. In each case, the body has proven too weak, or the mind too strong for the process, and the Codifier has failed, creating some hideous, mindless insane creature more terrible still than a Flayed One.
But of late, Ozkan the Codifier has come to believe he has discovered a mortal shell strong enough to contain the consciousness of a Necron. Though rare, he even holds that these apex specimens of organic perfection might even be sufficient to host the consciousness of the Crimson Scythe. The body Ozkan has identified is, of course, that of the Adeptus Astartes, the sacred, post-human form wrought by the Emperor himself to serve as the champions of mankind.
To date, Ozkan has not been able to capture a living Space Marine, so he has not had the opportunity to test the veracity of his blasphemous theories. He has, however, come into possession of the bodies of several fallen Battle-Brothers—those that fell undertaking the mission led by the outcast Inquisitor Thaddeus Hakk.

You have a twofold problem.
One, Cryptek Ozkan the Codifier is a FFG content character. His story was meant for the GM to explore. He is meant to be used in crafting the campaigns narrative.
Two, as FFG discontinued their GW related content because they are dicks, the fluff and plotline they wrote for their RPG books won't go anywhere.

...well dang. that sucks.
thanks for the heads-up

It's too bad, too, because FFG did 40k fluff much better than GW.

it would have been interesting to see FFG's attempt to make sense of the current mess.
