I'm sorry, but it's just obvious they won't do the same move with 40K, their flagship product that keeps them in business. I can say it with certainty and laugh off claims to the contrary, because it just is so logical.
It is possible, or even likely, however that some form of streamlining will happen. But AoS level stuff, with races and factions destroyed and turned into something else allround? Well, nope.
I for one welcome a more streamlined, simplified 40K with perhaps online rules and resources (so they could be updated fast, to everyone, when the inevitable errors/feckups with rules happen.)
I also welcome the big shakeups in the story and it moving forward, with -radical- things happening. Way more interesting than being stuck in the same situation for two decades. I expect there will be massive losses on all sides.
Who cares if a faction takes a massive blow in the fluff. It doesn't affect your gaming and you shouldn't discard your army based on something so superificial. To me it tells of ones affection for their chosen army not being too great to beginwith; "I used a ton of money, time and effort to paint these. They suffered losses in a story. Imma sell them and quit the game."
I think it's abundantly clear by now that 40k is about to go through it´s own end times, sure it will probably still be called 40k by the times it's over(Heck, I wouldn´t rule that out either), but it would be a AOSification in all but name. Except they dont need to add a Marine surrogate faction
From the spoilers in this thread we can see that the 40k setting is gonna be unrecognizable if these events are taken to their logical conclusions and we can already make out a few factions that are gonna see some major changes.
