maybe he's just a hardcore hide and seeker :)

about story progress, granted the long term outlook doesn't look good for most races. personally i'd think in about 1000 years the human race will probably be extinct or completely enslaved, the same for the eldar/dark eldar and tau. the tyranids would consume almost, if not actually, everything. a side effact of total consumption would be the eradication of the chaos gods - all sentient life devoured would leave no conciousness to fuel the gods. i think the only barrier to the tyranids would be orks - in the grim darkness of the little bit farther future there is only war between orks and tyranids :P

but GW could forward the story by 10, 50 or even 100 years without breaking what currently is. whatever primarchs are returning could be back rallying their boys for the conflict that would be in motion - tyranid encroachment, widespread chaos incursions and the pumped up aggressive "fun" the orks would be having at so much total war :)

even if the story was progressed a single year would take us into 41,000 and a lot can happen in a year like, oh i dunno, el'jonson getting his arse out of bed and vulkan reappearing and claiming the title of all time greatest hide and seeker :)
