Very well thought out, but still based on assumptions and the overall idea of some repetative cycle. Also not all the most probable possibilities are stated, and I personally think that the whole current situation would last no longer than a century or so, after which it would be resolved one way or another.

Good point about the closure of that webway on the Eldar side, they are more likely to do so than simply ignore the problem, or close the connections between their own parts of the webway, and let the Custodes deal with it, right?

The Astronomican is absolutely crucial. Here it probably works. The "light" from the astronomican is, possibly created from all those psyker souls being sucked up. What The Emperor does is direct it. So he does have some semblance of conciousness left, and possibly knows the state of the Imperium. Should He be detached or separeted from the A, it would still produce some "light", but the imperium would suffer for it. That light could be enought to rally whatever ships and such to go to Terra to reinforce it.

The Space Marines would not "nibble" away at the orks or any threat, and the imperium would simply be unable to reorganize in anything less than a few centuries, even more so whithout the A., so with that in mind I agree about the it being spread into clusters and concentrated sectors.

If the Star Child theory is correct, there is no way of knowing the time it would take The Emperor to reconstruct Himself. He could either be reborn as an infant and grow up in a few years, or go like Dr. Manhattan, or become a god without a physical body. Either way the primarchs are a needed catalyst for any of that, because they will boost faith throught the Imperium.

- at least a millenium

- Not unnoposed, the orks and Chaos will throw all they got at them, and most other fractions too.

- Not sure i get that, but let the bugs and chaos eat each other.

- We will need a new epic word for it

- Eldar popcorn included

- very likely

- Oh I do hope that happens

- Nope, the`re off to the Waagh! vs the bugs. The news will spread like wildfire amongst the orks

- Agreed

- There is no way of knowing when or where the Primarchs will show up, it might even be before the show begins

- Chaos tyranids? Not sure about that, there is no way of even knowing what and how the shadow in the Warp will spook chaos. And i do not think the Eye or Maelstom can even be closed.

- That would be a very good case scenario by warhammer standarts, the Eldar would probably have died at some point, note the Rhana Dandra

- We do no know that, the occuring events might be the end of the cycle itself
