The IoM can and will survive but it doesn't currently have the organization to conquer more of the galaxy. they are all waiting for the return of the primarchs and some inquisitors are trying to find the actual decendants of the emperor who are psychic blanks and extremely powerful and immortal. they believe that if they bring them together they will form either an extremely powerful fighting force or they will die awakening the emperor.
also if the emperor just dies he is so revered by so many that he will effectively become a chaos god but one that is in support of the imperium. but the leaders of the imperium are too scared to be without the astronomicon
i belive that chaos will survive bu only as long as there is others in the galaxy... for without order there cannot be chaos.
the necrons can never die unless their tombs are completely destroyed
the eldar are already dieing out they just have to make their prophicised attack on chaos (whether they win or not is still to be seen but i have some hope seeing as if the attack accually happens it is also said that they will destroy chaos so...)
The tau will be wiped out, they are under attack by the IoM and they are fighting the orks on one side and the tyrnids on the other, both of which are extremely hard even for the IoM to remove from a planet and the IoM has billions of troops at its disposal.
The tyrnids come from annother galaxy so if they are to be destroyed someone would have to go all the way to annother galaxy and probably others (seeing as if they got from one to annother they are probably going to more then just one)
the orks are extremely hard to kill but seeing as they live to fight they will always show themselves.
the dark eldar are included in chaos
