Ummm Talik, the Necrons don't have a number deficiency problem. There are trillions of them! The actual problem is, that they have to mobilise them after they've been in stasis for millions of years. As soon as they're up and running to their old standards, there won't be anything that can stop them. Which is why the Tyranids have a slim window of opportunity (about 800 years) during which they can devour the galaxy. If they get held off for long enough then the Necrons will obliterate the Tyranids, the Eldar, Chaos and the Dark Eldar, and enslave everyone else. They will then proceed to experiment until they find a humanoid race, whose DNA is close enough to the Necrontyrs' so that they can use them as hosts, and get back their souls.
