If the Golden throne fails and the Emperor dies, the citizens of the imperium will ether rebel and turn into rebels or decide to join chaos,Terra will be in a temporary state of anarchy due to rebels,however the adeptus arbites combined with terran imperial guard regiments will defeat the rebels,However anarchy will also occur on mars and allow the necrons time to awaken the void dragon to begin a necron siege of Terra,The defences of Terra could be strong enough to cause the necrons to retreat for a time until.After more rebelions within segmentum solar the imperium's armed forces will be weakend,The tyrnaids will certainly head for the eye of terror,however the chaos gods will throw everything they have at the tyrinads and may even corrupt a few (chaos nids could be possible due to the lord of change) The chaos space marines will soon gather up imperial rebels and launch an assault on Terra,It is likely that a primarch (most likely leman russ to save the imperium) or corvus corax to redeem himself) to lead another defence of Terra,The adeptus mechanicus does not worship the emperor and would not really care about his death they would still aid Terra however.The imperium outside of segmentum solar would collapse due to being cut off from warp travel.the imperials cut off from warp travel would join ether Chaos or the Tau or they would foolishly try to continue serving the imperium.The Tau would claim a large number of imperial planets but face heavy resistance from Orks and Chaos.Chaos would not be able to handle the Tau just yet due to the siege of segmentum solar and Terra.However the Orks would prove a danger to the Tau and the Tau would be pushed back by a few planets.The necrons would continue to emerge from tomb worlds and turn the attention the Eldar for ancient revenge.The eldar would most likely take massive casualites from the necrons and chaos daemons and be pushed to the edge of the galaxy and have barely any craftworlds left (some craft worlds may be chaos possesed)

The dark eldar's fate can take different turns since they only occupy a single city in the warp.Their city could come under siege by chaos daemons and gods and would see the fall of commoragh.Or the dark eldar could flee commoragh out of fear of chaos daemon siege and establish a new city somewhere out of the way of chaos hordes.

by this time Terra will be severly weakend however the chaos legions will have failed to take it (unless the chaos gods bless them or daemon legions pour out of the imperial palace).Some inqusitors will have no other purpose but to join chaos and serve chaos.The only armies defending Terra will be the space marines,the imperial guard's remainder and elements of the inqusiton.The chaos space marines will have failed the chaos gods and will be punished for it

to break it down this is the fate of all races

the imperium:weakend but recovering with the aid of the primarchs

the eldar:Met their end however defeated Slaneesh

the dark eldar:Destroyed by daemon legions

the orks:still ravaging the galaxy and fighting amongst themselves

the Tau empire:expanding but fighting orks,necrons and tyrnaids the tau will ether become the new dominant empire or their home planet of T'au will be destroyed by other races

the Necrons:will continue to rise from their tombs to serve the C'tan are in a massive conflict with the tyrnaids for domination of the galaxy

The tyrnaids:Spreading uncontroably,only rivaled by the necrons,orks, and remaining chaos gods

The fate of the galaxy:Will continue to be in a state of eternal war.However the Tau and imperium reminants may decide to ally under an agreed cause (not the greater good but something else,something on a grander scale) and more races may rise and an emperor of the Tau-human empire may rise to combat the other races

The eventual victor over the entire galaxy will ether be the Chaos gods or The tyrnaids and most likely the tyrnaids due to the eventual weaking of the chaos gods.The Tau and humans might also defeat the tyrnaids if they grow large enough and focus enough resorces.The Tau must also master the warp and break the etherial caste's control

And in a more vivid case invaders from another galaxy may come (who knows who that may be)....
