The Void Dragon is presumably kept in some labyrinth on Mars, from which no human has returned alive after venturing too deep. That and the mechanicum do not study the necron technology directly, and even if a tech advancment is made, note mark 8 astartes armour, it takes centuries before it is put in use.

The tyranids adaptation is their weakness!

The tyranids rely on rapid and effective mutation againtst the weapons they are up against, therefore if a number of completely different weapon types are used simultaneously againtst the bugs, they will be unable to adapt. The weapons of Tau, Imperium and Eldar even the necrons are as different as can be. Imagine such a joint effort against the bugs, even note that the imperial guard has united with the tau on one occasion and managed to rapidly dispatch the bugs, imagine if four species unite against them. So far i see an aliance as the only hope.

What about the tyranids, it has been noted that there are thousands, if not millions of tyranid species and that the imperium has seen a small margin of them. If the eldar have the blackstone fortresess who is to say that the bugs do not have a planet sized super organism that literally eats planets(refference to Megas XLR), the tyranids have more than a few suprises in store, therefore an acurate assesment of their forces cannot yet be made. I imagine the bugs will prove more resilient than we ever imagined.

Truth be told i think that the bugs will lose.
