Don't forget the evolutionary power of the Tyranids. They evolve when they get beaten back. New Bio-form weapons are "Engineered" to destroy the exact thing that beat them last time. They constantly change, even when their tactics do not.

I am a huge Space Marine fan, and Chaos is my second favorite. However, the Tyranids kinda take the cake. Tyranids do not suffer from the technological stagnation that affects so many of the races in 40k. As soon as they get beaten, the Hive/Over Mind is devising new ways to kill the enemy. Be it ork, or human, or necron. I bet that if it came to a fight between Necrons and 'Nids, the overmind would lose the first 3 battles, then completely wipe out everything in it's way.

The only reason that there is still life in the Milky Way is because of how many 'powerful' races there are, the Tyranids cannot just evolve to kill one speces, since all of the races have different weaknesses. The Hive/Overmind has to keep switching back and forth.

Tyranids are Number 1. Unless every other race bands together, the Galaxy is eaten.
