What Games Workshop is most keen on focusing on, like we all know, is filling in the backstory. There's a higher chance they'll leave the current setting unfinished, than pause on the backstory. In my opinion, Games Workshop should simply add a few extra years and events into the current story, make the fall of the Imperium of Man sort of subtle, there doesn't have to be a gargantuan explosion of the universe once the Emperor dies, there could be obvious signs of ever-increasing anarchy, wars, the growing influence of Chaos, more Tyranids entering the galaxy, more Necrons waking up, all making it harder for the remnants of the Imperium to survive, where many people would not know yet that the Emperor is dead. GW could continue the Black Crusade settting with the new wars in the Segementum Solar, and after all of that, there's still plenty more backstory to write about, if they introduced new Imperial factions, new xenos races, or new Chaos factions, they could write more codexes, backstories, and thus make more money off of new material. I intend no offense to Warhammer Fantasy fans, as I was intrested by Fantasy before I got into 40k, but it's likely that Games Workshop is subtracting Fantasy so that it can focus more on Warhammer 40k.

Unfortunately, there is a good chance for them to screw it all up, the people at Games Workshop don't think like the fans might, Games Workshop must take more than the fluff into consideration, I can tell they do not have composite plans for the continuance of the current fluff, if they do make plans, there's a high chance they won't fit how the fans expect it.
