well my point was after the tsars got out of power Russia was put on an better track (however the eventsthat led the Romanovs demise was bad I know but the imperium needs something like an revolution) an the soviet union was OK stalin was just a tool not the best leader I know as you just stated.

and well the nids are an hivemind controlled yes but their just essentially flesh an metal an animal cravings can be easily purged with the right amount of firepower an tactics(however since of course the imperium is stretched already to the brink they need to make soething like a crusade strength reserve force.

if the imperium like for example send half or a quarter of what it builds/makes/produces an keep it in reserve they could over years have a formidable amount of units in reserve an once hey reach e.g crusade strength theycould go on an all out offensive (even though it would take awhile an maybe cycle out the soldiers because they be dying of old age before the force would be grown.

if they did something like that an kept I reserve an when needed sent out in force the nids when they appear or necrons can be quickly disputed.

(just one of my theories hope I make sense)
