and mankkind did warp travel before the astronomicon

imperium just fighting the tau would be asure win, tau only ries because they are but one of many foes.

eldar will never ally withmankind, nobody allies himself with inferior things and the imperium is too xenophobic to ally with anybody anyway

Yes mankind did warp travel before the Astronomicon was created, but to do so was slow, and even more dangerous then it was in M41

Imperium fighting Tau wouldn't be a sure win. The Tau have tech that has left the Imperium in the dust due to the Mechanicum adapting instead of Innovating. An instance that comes to mind is the Tau Plasma weapon is leaps and bounds ahead of the Imperial equivalent. The only thing the Imperium has going for it is the fact that they can swamp an enemy with almost limitless amounts of cannon fodder.

The Eldar do frequently ally themselves with Humanity, though on a small scale, and only as an act of convenience. Which if the alien horde that killed your creators is coming for you... then I'd say that is a hell of a matter of convenience.

The Starchild is a new signature in the warp, its proposed that its actually the burgeoning conscious of the emperor as his mortal shell lays dying on the Golden Throne.
