i also don't think humanity will survive the coming storms. while humanity is definitely dangerous, numerous, stubborn and easily the craziest species in the galaxy none of these traits will help against species who are far more dangerous, stubborn and numerous - orks outnumber us millions to one, and tyranids outnumber orks probably by the same margin.

while any primarchs who may return will definitely make a significant contribution to survival, in my opinion the best that they would manage is simply to slow down our inevitable extinction.

when the throne finally breaks (and empy dies, as in dead and no coming back) the imperium will crumble almost overnight. without the astronomicon the distant parts (and without the astronomicon pretty much everywhere will be distant) of the imperium would be effectively out of reach. not to mention the decaying state of technology. if something happened to mars (like if it is the void dragon), again the imperium crumbles overnight.

i don't believe humanity has any chance of winning, although we could survive, a slim likelyhood but possible.

millions of years after when new species are colonising the galaxy and thinking that they are the first to reach a destination, they are always dissapointed to find that "tall ape-ish creatures wearing clothes" have been there for a long time. providing the tyranids don't eat everything first.
