Humanity will die. The vast amount of enemies out in the galaxy would guarantee that. The Tau are new and relatively untested xenos, but their technological level is far beyond that of some of the imperium's technology, such as the rail gun, which fires a projectile which can go straight through an extra armor plated leman russ battle tank and face virtually no resistance. Then there is the orks. Even though their tech level is rudimentary at best, they have shown that their prowess in battle and versatility far outweighs that of the imperium. Only when there was significant elements of space marines has a imperial army been able to defeat an ork invasion. Then there is chaos itself. It has shown that it can worm it's way into some of the most guarded places/person and corrupt it. Chaos can play off the wants and fears of almost anybody with them. With that whole planet populations can become enthralled and rebel, causing the imperium to waste precious resources better used elsewhere. Then there is the necrons. There technological prowess is unmatched anywhere in the galaxy. They are immortal and each individual necron is armed and armored like no other soldier. They can purge entire sectors in a small time frame. Finally, the most grievous threat to humanity(to me) are the tyrannids. Each hive fleet garners new intelligence for the hive mind to plan newer and better invasions. There is imperial evidence which shows that the first 3, even leviathan, were just scouting fleets and that Segmentum Obsurus and Pacificus would need to ramp of production of everything in order to stand a chance at repelling it and even then at a vast loss of life possibly unseen since the Horus Heresy. I have laid my reasons.
