why is it thought that tyranids won't/can't consume necrons? i used to think so too but metals are vital for most living things - sodium, magnesium, zinc, potassium etc. given that tyranids are exotic life (not native to the milky way) that possess biologic metals and metaloids they could probably find a use for the vast abundance of metals, of all kinds, that make up necrons. coupled with the fact that necrodermis is living metal makes me think it would be even easier for tyranids to process it.

hmmm.....i now think that necrons are just as stuffed as the rest of us :)
