Heads up, not going to be posting quotes in the OP. I can provide some if needed later, but the vast majority are extremely long and brief descriptions do the feats themselves just as much justice.
So currently, all Primarchs have universal resistance to the following; Magic, Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation. However, these characters, even the least broken of them, have displayed a much greater number of resistances over the years that are almost certainly important in nearly any battle they are used in. I figured I'd list a few and why they should be added. Note that these probably aren't all of them, nor are these the only instances. Just the most obvious ones I can think of.

Like when I'm not about to pass out from exhaustion.

List of resistances that should be added to Warhammer 40,000's Primarch pages:
- Time Manipulation: This is a resistance that has been displayed numerous times. Firstly, there's Roboute Guillima being unaffected by the presence of a powerful daemon who could warp time, as well as being able to ignore said daemon's time-based defenses and kill it. Then there's Perturabo shrugging off the power of Hrud technology that was capable of accelerating the effects of time on objects and organisms, remaining completely unfazed. Finally, there's Leman Russ being able to battle his brother Magnus the Red, who in the same novel had demonstrated a mastery of time manipulation mid-combat, and while everything else thus far had slowed to a crawl. This one seems extremely obvious.
- Possession: While Sanguinius already has this listed, all Primarchs should have it, as well. Even Fulgrim, whose body was at one point taken over by a Greater Daemon, forced the daemon out of his body, nullifying the possession even after it had happened.
- Matter Manipulation: Countless instances. An obvious example would be Guilliman being perfectly capable of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the daemonic version of his brother, who could turn foes into scattering atoms with a glance or turn a powerful psyker into fool's gold with a flick of his wrist.
- Conceptual Manipulation: This one is a bit more strange, but I believe still usable. The daemon known as Madail the Undivided at one point created a construct known as the Necrosphere, which was made of bones. However, these were not only the bones of previously living beings, but also the bones of dead hopes and ideas, which was noted within the story to be quite literal and achieved through the daemon's unnatural power. Sanguinius, Guilliman, and Lion El'Jonso fight and defeat Madail, who definitely unleashes his arsenal of abilities upon them.
- Reality Warping: A bit nebulous, but also something demonstrated repeatedly through multiple encounters with powerful daemons and sorcerers, who are never able to bring the full force of their abilities to bear against the Primarchs. A very good example would be Guilliman resisting Magnus' abilities, despite Magnus effortlessly overcoming the resistances of devices and beings tailor made to shrug off his exact powers.
- Fate Manipulation: During his fight in the Ruinstorm, Sanguinius resists the force of being attacked with infinite variations of his death at the hands of Horus, creating a single instance in which he is victorious, and managing to defeat his daemonic opponent regardless of an inevitable fate being pushed upon him. Possible resistance to Existence Erasure is demonstrated here as well, as Sanguinius is tossed into a void without creation and forces his way back to reality.
