I think most people are used to seeing "each and every..." instead of just "each" despite the fact that they mean the same thing.

It also says that between four and four thousand C'tan could have escaped (I assume that the 'four' was a reference to how they were prior to the retcon) being shattered, and that some Necrons still hunt them. It's purposefully left open for some to have escaped.

The name of the Flayer C'Tan was Llandu'gor, in case anyone was wondering.

No, it says between 4 and 4 thousand SHARDS could have escaped the grasp of the Necrons

And the necrons went there to try to reclaim there lost property.

There is also a C'tan in who is destroyed entirely.
I forgot his name, but he is there.

There is always the chance that some shards will reform enough to make an unbelievably powerful shard and put some beating on the emp. Could be the same for the Void Dragon.

I have a theory (based on the new fluff) that the Outsider was not one of the original c'tan but rather a collection of vengeful shards of many different c'tan merged into a new c'tan. This c'tan continues to hunt down other shards and has them merge into itself, whether by force or other means, waiting until the day it gains enough power to wreak vengeance that is utter and absolute.

that actually sounds kinda awesome. not good news for the necrons but still awesome. and fits with the fluff.

Could the Dragon shard be trying to rebuild/regrow itself as well thus causing all the mechanicus obsessions with becoming one with the machine and all?
