I'd say it's a given, having everything stacking up around the last year of the 41'st century with no resolution is already leading to stagnation in the story of Warhammer 40k.

What they will likely do is start the run in to the end times, bring back the surviving primarchs for one huge end of the empire war with chaos. I believe the conflict will leave the empire shattered, the Emperor dead & fully evolved into a god in the warp & chaos badly weakened with the Eye of Terror & the other warp rifts closed. The new story would be the attempts to rebuild the empire in varying sections of the galaxy by the astartes etc,while staving off attacks by humanities many enemies. At the same time the surviving forces of chaos try to build their own empires without the safety blanket of the warp rifts.

This would greatly refresh the story & take 40k in all sorts of interesting directions. It's going to interesting finding out how much of what think will happen, does happen.
