yeah, they would be mortally wounded.

I dont think it would take an alliance. I think that the damage done by tyranids would make it possible for astartes alone to take them out.

Buuttttt.... From that perspective....

please consider, Necrons and Astartes have been known to make truces to destroy tyranids. So, regardless of which one is more powerful, I think the necrons would win simply because the other races of hte galaxy would spend alot of time fighting the tyranids. I honestly think that under that much pressure, there might even be like some giant inter-special alliance. I know in general that isnt likely to happen in 40k, but when the entire existance of all life in the galaxy is threatened...
