Nah, Tau would probably get swept aside by the Hive fleet. Orks are randomly scavenging/getting eaten by 'nids, and Humanity either collaspes or wins big.
Chaos, well, they keep on being annoying.

Tau, obviously. It's only a matter of time before the water caste negotiators persuade Chaos and the 'Nids to join The Empire. I don't see how it could play out any other way.

Really. You ever hear about the story between Horus and Sanguinis near the end of the heresy? Well he tried to persuade Horus back to the imperium and he got his ass kicked.
And 'nids are unperusuadable.They only want to eat.It's sorta like a britney spears thing with the nids.

There was so much sarcasm packed into my statement that i figured a smiley was necessary to clarify that it was indeed not serious.
The only hope the Tau would ever have against 'Nids and Chaos is to advance their tech.
Humanity will probably shrink down to a handfull of heavily fortified planets, then potentially re-organise and start growing again.
Tau will absorbe more races, including lots of imperial planets, advance their technology and carry on growing until their numbers make them more appealing to Chaos.
Nids will carry on munching the Eastern fringe.
Orks will be Orks.
Chaos will suffer as Humanity shrinks and they lose some of their power, but find new races to get worship from.
Necrons will carry on waiting for the live species to shrink back.
Eldar will eventually die out, or give out to Slaneesh.
Dark Eldar will eventually realise that their aims can be better achieved by opening a chain of S&M based shops.
In a world gone mad, who is left to fight for truth, justice and all that gets you smashed for under a fiver....
First played 40k during 2nd edition, missed out 3rd and 4th, and haven't played 40k since 5th edition - but still read and occasionally paint
Tyranids will likely consume everything in the galaxy worth eating then move on, then the whole cycle begins over again.
The only ones with the manpower to really stop them are the humans of the Imperium, or possibly the Necrons depending on just how many warriors are really in storage.
Then again, who knows? Not like these things follow any logic. =D

'Nids win!
Thank you good sir, I now have an image in my head of a chorus of Gaunts eating an Ork while singing "NomNomNomNomNomNomNom!" in a high pitched chipmunk voice...
The whole thing makes me both laugh and die a bit inside

The end of the 40k universe is hidden in the tale of the Rhana Dandra.
Or Ragnarok, depending on which race you play.

MABYE (If there is a god) there will be a mass evacuation of humanity to escape from the 'Nids. The most elite and dedicated of Humaities warriors and such make for the cold void between galaxies.
Eventually, they arrive at another galaxy (with a way more efficient webway or something) just in time to see some wierdly shaped ships blow up a big round thing above a forest moon.
OMG! SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!

You should write something like the 40k vs. Harry Potter thingy, but with Star Wars instead.

it would probably be choas demons as they can't die they just get banished back to the warp . Either that our humanity as they have biggest empire and probably have the manpower to destroy all Xenos.
Burn the heretic.
Kill the mutant.
Purge the Unclean
well the story of the Rhana Dhandra says that there will be a huge battle between both the eldar and Chaos, ending the the destruction of both, so i would say that given that they are gone, and once all the normal humans die from orks, and the space marines being marines can just stand fight till they die, non eof them will win, the necrons will go back into statis after their gods find the tau unappealing, nids will be killed by a group of orks making their way onto each hivefleet, and the tau will recruit the orks, so tau will survive
It has allready been astablished that if Orks worked together in one MASSIVE WWWAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH of destruction then they would wipe out EVERYTHING! I think the ressurection or a herald of Gork, Mork or maybie Bork could do that.
On the other hand chaos can retreat to the warp and the emperor's throne is broken. This is stated in a timeline in the 5th Edit rulebook so mankind collapses and Chaos spills forth. It is only the Emprah holding chaos deamons and marines back from another HUGE black crusade.

Well, you see, if Chaos Daemons were to win, they would cease to exist. They are reflections of emotion, and if there is no-one left to feel emotion, than there is no emotion. If there is no emotion, then there is not reflection of emotion, no warp, and no daemons.

yes but the warp would exist in other galaxies as well as the 40k galaxy and there would probably be life there so the demons can feed of there emotions so continue to exist

The tau would never manage to recruit orks as there lust for battle wouldn't last long with a tau alliance thus will turn on the tau and the orks outnumber tau so in your story orks would win and will continue to fight each other for the rest of time
