With everyone supporting their race ( as written in each race codex ) I have come to my own theory about end-times.
So when this happened, in the same time:

Tyranids - the main hive fleet arrives to consume the galaxy. In the same time:
Necrons - all tomb worlds in the galaxy are active and starting their galactic conquest. In the same time:
Eldar - Ynead is preformed ending their race, but creating powerfull Warp entity that eat Slaanesh and start fight against other 3 chaos gods. In the same time:
Chaos - Abaddon is finished uniting all of CSM and begins the final crusade in taking down the IoM and conquering galaxy in the last Black Crusade. In the same time:
Orks - A new Warboss emerges and unites almost all Orks and begins the gratest WARGHH the galaxy has ever seen.
Dark Eldar - Because of the newly formed situation, all Dark Eldar are launching the attacks on all planets they can and enslave as many worlds as they can. In the same time:
Tau - The new 3'rd phase of conquest is beginning with Tau mustering the gratest millitary force in their history to go and spread the word of the grater good. In the same time:
IoM - The GT fails and the Emperor dies. His soul is released in Warp and he fight Chaos gods. Primarchs returns and converts all chapters in Legions again and taking the new crusade in saving the IoM, again.

So what do you think guys? My guess is that when this is all over, the Sol System will be ll that's left from the galaxy

Pretty good without going into too much detail, only thing is that the smurf marines survived and they got Gulliman the bossy, stuck-up back as well. Dorn or Sanguinius or one of the primarchs that actually did something to fight back against Horus can take his place.

P.S sorry about the rant there, I just don't like Gulliman even though he could possibly be all right in some circumstances.

If the C'tan and the Necrons did fully awaken, I don't think the Imperium would be in any position to fight. If the theories about the Void Dragon are true, then the tech-priests - the people who control practically all the Imperium's machinery, infrastructure, weaponry, ammunition and more - are worshiping a star vampire, and would turn against the Imperium in an instant if they believed the "Omnissiah" was directing them to do so.

Granted, this would bring about an awesome Void Dragon/ AdMech army, but in fluff terms the Imperium would be screwed.

We all know that, but what about others? Necrons would have to fight all other races ( all of them now united all all having their own goals )+ the new god that Eldar create would probably focus on them as same as he will focus on other Chaos gods.

There's also the (fanon, but intriguing) theory that the Outsider is either controlling or directing the Tyranid Hive Fleets towards the Milky Way. If that's the case, even Emps couldn't stop the C'tan. If the theory isn't true (which is probable) it still doesn't look bright for the Imperium; with two separate factions vying to consume all life in the galaxy, and another trying to corrupt all life in the galaxy, and eight nearly omnipotent deities between them, I don't think it matters how hard Emps tried to fight. That's assuming that the Eldar are successful, remember.

The only thing I foresee occurring, should GW advance the setting, is for the Imperium to be destroyed, the Primarchs Leman Russ, Jaghatai Khan, Corax, Lion El'Jonson, Vulkan and Rowboat Girlyman to sacrifice their lives alongside the Emperor, giving him enough power to somehow ensure humanity's survival - even if it's on a tiny, warp storm wreathed world permanently stuck in the Renaissance era.

no he is not, look what he did to the Alpha Legion....

If Slaanesh gets nom'd why are the Dark Eldar looking for more slaves?

I always saw the 'endtimes' descriptions for each race as something like a fighting games storyline. Every race has its own 'victory' at the end according to their own book, and some of them even mesh together. However, there's one canon 'end' that only GW knows, and won't reveal until they're ready, if they ever do.

Henners 91, the DEldar are pretty bloodthirsty and expansionist by nature. Given the opportunity to loot, rape, pillage and enslave on a scale not seen since the Fall of the Eldar, I think they'd take it.

Tau are pretty much small fry in all this - they are likely better off trying to hold what they have and weather the storms........

likely they will fail.

I think the Void Dragon arising would provoke a civil war intiially in the Ad Mech rather than straight take over?

I agree I think the Dark Eldar would revel in the destruction even if it was also their own people dying?

I've got a slight bone to pick, but I don't have the codex so I may be wrong.

Ynead will supposedly rise when *all* eldar have died combining their souls to fuel his power. I take this to mean this includes dark eldar as well?

So sorry boys no looting/raping/general DE shenanigans

Nope, just the Craftworld Eldar (possibly Exodites as well) as the Dark Eldar do not go to the Infinity Circuit when they die which is where Ynnead will be born.

So thanks to the Dark Eldar, there will be no Super Ynnead.

Perhaps when it rises it will go around absorbing the souls of them though, but that's just a thought.
