And Tau is always looking for a truce while the orks are having a WAHHH on abbadon for killing yarrick I believe. And the emperor is more than semi conscious as well for the moment after chaos ripped the galaxy in two. And they have 2 primarchs back. Either something good is about to happen or the necrons are going to war to collect the humans before the nids can get them causing the imperium to split their forces which they already have to do for the other nid fleet into a 3 front war with 3 chaos gods still in the fight as well.

Spend say 500 million tons of biomass in invading forces. Lets say all of that is destroyed (which not even necron weapons actually do), but still victory is won eventually. Well congrats. Now the nids can consume any body of water, all the atmosphere, parts of the upper crust of the planet - and convert all the useful materials in that into biomass. To put it into perspective the Earth has about 60 - 100 million billion, or gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon in its crust. Carbon being a main component, but only one of many many materials, that nids use to create biomass... Its never a net loss if Tyranids win the battle.

And after defeating them and sealed them as bateries, they were so weakened from the fight that the remaining Aldheri could just destroy them. So the Necrons just went to sleep and wait some millions of years so they can reconquer the galaxy

In short, Necrons to Tyranids is comparable to Human to Invasive pests. Update: Or Maybe close to locusts, they're always hungry, numerous and would situationally eat themselves.

people also seem to forget Tyranids don’t just eat sentient species and animals; even microbial life can be considered biomass. In addition, minerals and naturally occurring metal deposits can be consumed by the hive fleets; used to reinforce the bones within warriors and hive fleet vessels alike. So even a world which has no life may be of potential use. Even if for some reason they can not convert Necrons into mass in the acid pools like they do space marines and their armor, they would be more than happy to fight the necrons for a planet high in other sources of biomass if the win was a net gain of biomass and served the hive minds unknowable plans.

I haven't been keeping up on Necron lore, but if their casualties still teleport away when they're destroyed then that would explain why Tyranids will generally avoid them unless it's a guaranteed win where the planet biomass exceeds whatever gets annihilated by Necron weapons. A space battle will always cost Tyranids something even if they win.

Tyranids - we will consume everything Necrons - fucking bet

I think it would be cool to have a hive fleet that uses necrons as an evolutionary grindstone. They would invade the world, lose, get some necrodermis and learn to make better bioplasma, and attack all sorts of worlds to fuel biomass for another incursion. All this until the necrons commit forces to destroy them for good or they defeat the tomb world they are using to perfect themselves.

"We are a never ending tide...we just...uh...choose to ignore the metal things..."

While nowhere near as hard a counter as the necrons, the Tau are weirdly well equipped to fight the tyranids as well. The shadow in the warp means fuck all to the tau as a) they don't use the warp to space travel and b) they don't depend on psykers. Plasma and specially Ion weapons are really good at straight up disintegrating biomass as well, which leaves the tyranids less to recover from their dead. And their smaller empire ends up being a unexpected advantage as they can reinforce themselves far quicker in places that the hive fleet tendrils reach. While sadly they are still flesh and blood, and thus still have the big issue of feeding the tyranids with each of their dead, they still fair quite well against them. There's a reason they pretty much took on all of hive fleet Gorgon by themselves.

Maybe they should consider getting off the robot skeletons lawn more often

I mean, if you went down to the fridge for a midnight snack, and it was empty, you'd probably be pretty pissed too.

Imagine living on a heavily populated planet in the path of the Tyranid hivefleet, and then you notice, they pass the planet by completely, even avoiding the entire star system. Relief is replaced by terror as you realize what must lie beneath your feet....

This is the race that won the war in heaven, while becoming quite literally heavy metal, the tyranids are nothing but a joke to them
