Humanity would still be screwed.

Yeah, but Da Boyz might get a bit bored afterwards and start having a bit of a scrap.

Before you know it, there's just a clan left.

And then the Emperor returns from his decamilennial slumber, and taking into his hand his righteous sword upon which the flames of Great Heaven burn, he smites the unrighteous and the unholy, and the blasphemers, and the sacriligeous, and the heretics, and the funny-looking.

While I might rag on the "galaxy of writhing flesh" interpretation of Tyranids, I'm pretty sure even a "realistic" hivefleet could just eat the Emprah.  He is one guy after all.

Yes, but he DOES have a good portion of the Universe working for him, If the Tyranids could have eaten him (without the rest of the hivefleet) they would have.

Though, that's speculation.

This is hopefully after the Orks or Necrons get up and erase the Tyranids. By then there won't be enough left to stand against the Imperium.

(of course that's assuming the Necrons or Orks haven't wiped out the Imperium  before the Tyranids got here...)

Basically, everyones screwed, except for the off chance Tau or the Empire win. If the Orks win, they'll kill each other anyway. If the Necrons win, well they're already dead, so I doubt they'll really enjoy it. If Chaos win, they can look forward to endless torture and mutation, and if Eldar win, they can rest happy with the knowledge that their dead brethren's souls have been eaten by a god of Chaos. And if Tyranids win, they'll eventually starve, and they don't really have a mind to appreciate 'winning' either.

Well, if the nids win I assume they'll just wander off to another galaxy.

Also, I don't think the Tau stand a chance of winning, not in terms of numerical advantage...

I'm going to come out here and say that Elton John would just write some kickass piano/guitar duet and everything would die.

Chaos actually can't win, because the warp is created by the feeling of the creatures in the material world (i think). They're self defeating.

Is it bad that I always assumed that all the races will continue fighting each other in 100K?

Ok, we'll put Chaos and Tau on the list as doubly screwed, seconded by the Dark Eldar, who will run out of things to torture if they win.

The Eldar are dying off, but very slowly.  Without Warp travel, the Tau will be forever confined to their section of space.  Anything the Orks accomplish will crumbling around them; considering they haven't conquered the galaxy after several million years trying, it ain't gonna happen soon.  Abbadon the Sore Loser will continue to lead the forces of Chaos to Pyrric victory after victory, only to retreat back to the Eye anyway.  The Necrons are implacable, but they're not making any more of themselves.  The Tyranids will eventually stall against the varied immovable objects of Chaos, Orks, and the Imperium.  And the Imperium will keep doing it's indecipherable thing, which is amazing that the entire human race hasn't committed suicide yet.

So yeah, nothing ever changes or ever will.  Just get eternally grimmer and darker.

They don't have a Codex.  Clearly they are inconsequential to the fate of the galaxy.
