Aye, but what happens if the Tyranids begin a sort of "Exterminatus" strategy of their own? Infest a world with super-killer microbes that target Orc physiology but leave the bodies intact for consumption? Sooner or later, they WILL do something that simply brushs the Orks out of the way. Of course, we can always save the galaxy by putting the Emperor out of his misery and letting the crons shut the eye of terror, but what would happen then? Would the nids just disperse into an angry hornes nest that scatters in all directions, would they just keep driving in a big straight line through the galaxy like a big rhinoceros, maybe make a big U-turn and go back to the harvested galaxy, or maybe even "lock on" to a signal coming from another galaxy and charge blindly that way?
