I'd imagine that -existing as it is right now- the Imperium could MAYBE survive another thouand years before totally falling apart. But that'd be a longshot at best, esp. with the Tyranids and Necrons in mind.

In relation to the '14 Black Crusade' I'm doubtful that will really work. Abbadon spent an unholy amount of resources into gaining a foothold onto Cadia, but still hasn't entirely conquered the planet. I feel like Mortarion is the larger threat at the moment having taken over the Ulthor system and grows even more powerful. Even though the Orks and Tyranids have started taking bites out of the Cadian Gate, I feel like that will just make things harder for a complete takeover by Chaos. As long as the Imperium still has the naval advantage over Chaos and its other enemies, the Cadian situation could -maybe- be stabilized.

Personally, I'd say the bigger threat is Hive Fleet Leviathan. With so many major battles popping up elsewhere, I'm amazed that thing hasn't reached Terra already!
