We bio engineered a virus to kill an entire hive fleet, orks are next. It was a paltry task for the might of Tau science. The orks days are numbered. Maybe someday we'll have them domesticated enough to be cute pets carried around in handbags.

AI force then returns and wipes out the Tau.
With nothing sentient left, Chaos dissipates.
Old Ones return, put the AI in dormancy and start over with a fresh deck of cards.
You forgot about the Emperor.
H.B.M.C.- The end hath come! From now on armies will only consist of Astorath, Land Speeder Storms and Soul Grinders!

A giant forest will appear out of no where. And Orion will lead the Great Hunt, and wipes out everything in the Wood Elves' path. Screw your guns when we have arrows.

This.
GW has not changed the storyline in 20 years. Why start now?
This is not World of Warcraft, Battletech, Star Wars, or the Forgotten Realms. Things here are static. They have been for 10,000 years, and likely will for another 10,000.
Greetings my Be'gal friend, we from the Por are here to offer you many victories and conquests.
If a skilled enemy you seek, we shall direct you towards them, if we can't, we will build enemies for you, greater and greater ones so that you always have a, as you say "Good Fight" for you.
You like a challenge? We can offer it, and if you live in our empire, you can test our inventions for the greater good, they will be a constant challenging that ever grows, just for you. In fact, I hear the black clad Gue'la say you are weak, we do not believe such is true and wish to see you show your might to them in our space systems.
As much as I hate them, like the End Times, Chaos will win.
40K has many traits of the Cthulhu stories, in which the reality is that, in the end, all is for naught and man will fall before the gibbering, careless hordes of mad gods whose existence predates mankind.
If I had my choice though, the Tau would take mankind's place and bring a gentler rule to the universe.
They will, the newer fluff seems to be pushing them in this direction as well. Tyranids and Necrons won't because it would be lame. No inspirational speech, no evil villain speech, just sterile death, it would be the equivalent of the galaxy colliding into another galaxy and everyone dying. Also 40k is a human centric universe. It will either be Emperor worshiping Humans or Chaos worshiping humans. It would be an interesting twist if the Eldar managed to recreate their empire but that's not happening.
Orks will win in the end, if its the orks vs nids in the galaxy its still a ork win since orks will have a good fight..yall keep forgetting orks never lose either..and you damn well know one lucky ass ork will loot the golden throne
Travellin' through space is boring. Well, boring unless da hulk yer on is full of dem gene-sneakers, or a base fer da chaos lads wiv da spikes, or already has Boyz on it. Or if humie lootas come callin', that's always good fer a bit a sport. Or unless yer have a mutiny or two to pass da time, or unless strange fings start happenin', which dey usually do when yer out in da warp. One time we had some bloody great ugly fing come straight out of Weird Lugwort's 'ed! It butchered half da lads, that was pretty entertainin'. Come ter fink of it, space is a pretty good larf. And that's before yer find yerself a nice world ta crush!~Bigmaw

Tau Empire. They will eventually persuade entire worlds to their side without a shot being fired. You can't compete with that kind of voodoo. In addition, they just ARE progressing techologocally at a rate too great for the other factions to hope to outdo. Most other factions long sense apex'd.
The final thing that makes the Tau empire the obvious choice is they are better people.
Hold out bait to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and then crush him.

Orks have been in a state of victory right from the beginning. All they want to do is fight. If they can't fight other civilizations, they'll fight each other - actually killing off the other factions would diminish the galaxy in their eyes. When the last ork finally dies he'll die fighting, which of course also counts as a victory.
The Imperium may be stuck in a perpetual state of grimdark, but to an ork, the galaxy is a bright and wonderful place, full of opportunity.
