Humanity is strong, I agree but fragmented. When the golden throne fails, the Astronomican will fall silent and warp travel for most of humanity will cease. The insuing disruption will plunge the Imperium into another age of strife. Humanity will still fight yes..themselves and the other xenos who will take advantage of the humans weakness, imagine the Ork invasions that will ensue with out any meaningful way of imperial forces to reinforce or transport troops to invaded words. Even the best navagator will not lightly attempt a blind warp jump, espically a far one.

No doubt the Chaos gods will delight in causing warp storms to further disrupt travel and unleashing their fury into realspace. The Macharian Heresy is a perfect example of how the Imperal forces will fragment and carve their own small empires with out fear of the Emperor's wrath, picture that across the galaxy. Yes there will be forces still loyal to the Emperor, the Astartes will fight for order but even they will interpret the emperors will diffrently and we all know they WILL fight each other should they believe they are righteous in their cause.

Should the Emperor become a God he will be in the realm of Chaos and thus a Chaos god. A god of order? not so sure if he will agree with the current faith the Adeptus Ministorum preaches. After all the Impereal Truth is what he wanted humanity to believe the truth of Science and not Faith in gods or his divinity. But Ironically the collecive faith in him is what will create him as a God, imagine how pissed off he would be when he sees how his once proclaimed "truth" has been twisted into the one thing he worked and sacrificed himself to acomplish.

As for the Eldar. "What do Humans know of our pain? We have sung songs of lament since before your ancestors crawled on their bellies from the sea"
