so the imperium is using the same ech as it has been for awhile, new or improved tech is suggested by the adeptus mechanicus as "heresy",for this reason the imperium's downfall is certain, if they had new tech the imperium's chances would double surely

for example: space marines= one man army, but die easy just the same, imagine newer lighter strong armour an weapons, would really give meaning to one man army, or stronger plasma cannon on an tank instead of overheating when used etc

so I guess my question is in context, what would be a good way for the imperium to introduce new tech, would they have to cast out the mechanicus or something?
