The Inquisition is failing, it still has the strongest hold over the imperium over any other faction but it is failing. Reguardless of how brilliant and powerful they are most are just men, clever and skilled but men, in the end some if not most will panic when the bulk of the hive fleets arrive and all of the Chaos/misery they will cause will give the Chaos forces one hell of a boost in power and influence (and who knows, maybe many will turn to the four powers for protection against the Tyranids) So i'm pretty sure the Ordo Malleus and Ordo Hereticus will either fall or be very occupied, The Ordo of Xenos alone would struggle with the Tyranids at all times so they would  not have much of a grip on the Imperium, i'm not sure if they would even that amount of power by that point in time.
