Some of their weapons would leave biomass in molecular form but they would then use "Death Rays" or "Heat Rays" instead to just destroy their targets. They also could use weapons like the "Exile Cannon" and remove biomass from this universe making the tyranids just that much more at a loss. I still don't see Tyranids coming out of this fight with any sense of victory. Yeah. but the deconstructing matter weapons (mostly Gauss weaponry) is what they're famous for. Hell, it's what makes their own weapons the only things that are truly effective against them, because Necrodermis can only reform if it's ripped into parts large enough for it to exist in its component nanobots (I think Necrodermis is nanobots anyway, it must be something like that), whereas Gauss Flayers actually rip apart those nanobots and tear a target up into individual atoms IIRC.
