There's no denying that if he were to be reborn, get off the throne, rejuvenate, whatever, that his views and the Imperium's views are somewhat....at odds.

While some what flock to his banner, in particular the AdMech and a good chunk of the Inquisition (not Hereticus mind you, I don't think they'd care for the Imperial Truth), the Imperium as a whole would largely crumble, some following various Ecclesiarchs, some following Astartes (ala Ultramar), some following the AdMech, some turn to Chaos, a lot just get destroyed by this, that or the other thing and so on.

Not only would it be plausible, but it would be enjoyable, and could move away from the "excessive grimdark," into just plain "grimdark," but you'd have, at least, a speck of hope.

But then, I'm partial to the underdogs, so seeing a small cadre of Space Marine chapters, some Imperial Guard, the Grey Knights and some hardened inquisitors against a galaxy falling apart with the Big E and maybe a primarch or two with small forces at their command would be great; a fool's errand, but hey, it worked once before.
