During the age of strife chaos ruled for technological advancement at least a small degree of stability is needed & humanity didn't have it. The reason there has been little or no advancement since the heresy is the mechanicum, they have stymied all tech creativity as only religious zealots can.

For technology to advance the mechanicum would have to be reformed & it would take the combination of desperation, following the empires collapse, & the force of a primarchs will to bring such reform about. Of course the returning primarchs would have to reform the inquisition as well & between the two great strife would result.

As for the codex's following the End Times event that is rumored to start next year GW will need to, & most likely will, replace most, if not all, the games codex's to reflect the massive change to the games situation.
