in terms of numbers, except for orks, no-one comes close to tyranids, and their bio-technology is just as advanced (but in a completley different direction) and as non-understood as necron tech, but as the vast bulk of that race is still asleep then i think this removes them from being the mightiest faction. .....at least for now, but their time will come....soon.

i think orks are probably the mightiest: their numbers are greater than everyone's, bar tyranids, they have weaponry capable of destruction that, while being extremley crude, is on a par with the imperium's, and their entire race is their military.

the one and only conditional clause, however, is that their race is based on might, and they can't stop 'demonstrating' their might amongst themselves long enough to join together to prove their might against the whole galaxy.

i truly believe that if (and that's gigantically massive IF) the orks were to unite under one leader, and ghazkhull may yet be our boy, as a single cohesive military force then no-one native to this galaxy could hope to oppose them, and even the tyranids would struggle to do to them what they've done to everyone else.
