Why bother calculating how big Lyriax is when the Necron Codex gives it as 1.04 AU?

I need to be clearer here - he calculated the size of the Earth and sun for comparison and made a diagram of it - that's all.

The new Eldar Codex mentions about the imprisonment of Kurnous and Isha by Khaine...could "the chains of Kurnous" refer to his bonds and Lyriax be the prison that originally confined Kurnous and Isha?

Possibly, but the fact that it is being avoided by the Tyranid Hive Fleet leads me to believe that it is just the Outsiders sphere. And I'm not sure where the Eldar Gods were actually located. They could have been in the Webway, which is likely considering they may have been Old Ones, which would indicate that their prison was in the webway.

I forgot to say, thanks for the information on Ath-Ethon but where is some info on Rigal IV (best I could find that fits is Regal IV but that was DE vs SoB)?

Eldar 3rd edition Codex, in a quote box underneath a unit description. I would be more specific, but I've lost my codex at the moment... EDIT: Found it, page 10.

I'll post more tomorrow, but I've got things to do.

EDIT: More:

I still say Cegorach merely fooled and played the C'tan into the waiting hands of Kurnous (for the Outsider) and Khaine (for the Nightbringer).

I'm sticking with the thought that Kurnous perhaps captured the Outsider and the other Yngir, and led them to Cegorach.

I think that the Nightbringer-Khaine battle you're referring to should take place much earlier than Kaelis Ra going into stasis, because that's where Vaul made the 99 swords in return for Isha and Kurnous' release. That was the start of the War in Heaven for the Eldar, if I'm reading this right. This war lasted for years, it says in the Eldar codex, and the Enslaver plague was caused by the psychic turmoil caused by the young races and the Old Ones. This indicates that Kaelis Ra's defeat by Khaine was not his final battle, otherwise he would have been entombed for many years before the Enslaver plague began to wipe out the food. But of course, I could be wrong...
