The Imperium of Man (along with every other faction that uses humans) discovers how to make Tank Men.
What happens?

Assuming it isn't deemed heretical, 1/5000 humans is an absolute shit ton - in fact, it's probably more than the numbers of the entire Imperial Guard, and a month is a piddling amount of time to create these soldiers. If only the Administratum (or, let's get real, the Mechanicus) controls the transformation process, the Imperium would get a massive power boost.
The Tau would probably still discover some retarded way to be even better at it, as usual.

That's dedication

How would the Space Marines feel about them? Lets say Tank Men cant become Spess Marines and vice versa
A Battleship is probably more powerful on the material plane.
Think is, none of them would have special defense against the Warp.

Paging Carnac, come in Mr. Carnac! It's another "lolchaoswins" thread!

The Imperium either covers it up and doesn't use them or it collapses because it has no way of handling the sudden social change that such a discovery would entail.
Ian Diaz
What sudden social change? It would be like they learned how to make more powerful space marines, not much of a change there. But Inquisition/Mechanicus keeping the knowledge to themselves is still more likely result.
If they keep making them, they'll make sure to brainwash them thoroughly before deployment, similar to Astartes, and watch them even more carefully.
Now, "every other faction that uses humans" would be a problem, Chaos would be all over that shit. Tau propably wouldn't, it would make Gue'va too powerful to keep under control.
