a way to reboot the franchise would be if someone (regardless of gender or race)  accidentalt went back in time to before The Emperor teleported on to the ship of Horus. Then stopped  the former from facing the latter. This will then happen

1.) Horus retreats along with the traitors to the eye of terror.

2.) the chapter system may or maynot form( doesnt really matter)

3.) Horus will be the one to lead the Black crusade not Abaddon

4.) a war between horus and emps escalates ( more than the current war). (don't know if the elchisarchy will be present, dont know it's spelling)

5.) the various races will still be present but how they are dealt with is up to the discretion of GW and its various writers

Result. A complete reboot with a fresh setting with all the old characters having slightly to significantly different roles to the current universe. this could revitalize the 40K so to speak.
