whatever reason you could think of, but i`d prefer someone tells me first what`s up with `nid ignoring necron planets... do they smell?

well actually, most worlds that contain necron tombs are dead worlds, so tyranids would not be interested anyway. No food on a dead world.

There is no little or life on them-they are in effect "dead planets"
Tyranids needs large amounts of Biomass to sustain there attack-attacking Necron worlds would waste huge amounts of resources with no return in DNA/raw materials.
Somthing Inquisitor Kryptman used against the Tyranids-He would get them to commit huge amounts of resources to a planetary invasion then withdraw and carryout Extermintus on the planet destroying everything and denying the Tyranids there prize and leaving them in deficit of resources!

meh, i thing they simply don`t like necrons `cause a long long time ago one of the C`Tan (who`s reall name is Paul, but everybody calls him the Nightbringer since he caused a balck-out at a party while trying to plug it his home made 10.000 W sound system) stole the original 'overmind'`s (John) girl and they never talked again.

The grudge carried on for years and now they won`t even let their kids play with eachother because of this old fight

tyranids don't really 'hate' anyone - they just have a massive appitite for food! seeing as the majority of tomb worlds (though not all of them! ) are "dead worlds" the 'nids simply ignore them as there's no biomass to consume...
even if a vanguard organisim landed on a tomb world, it would starve for lack of food and therefore there would be no psychic becon to call the hive fleet to the prey world!

necrons on the other hand just hate all living beings...

cheers!

also since tyranids dont have souls, or whatever energy the ctan feed off of, the necrons dont fight the tyranids unless they have to.

for example one time the necrons would fight tyranids is when the nids attack a world the necrons are about to harvest.

actually, as living, sentient creatures, tyranids do have souls/life essence! and don't forget too the massive psychic power of the tyranid race - the 'crons would easily go after them simply because the c'tan seek to wipe out every last psyker!!! (as the warp is their one true weakness )

keep in mind also that the deciver created the culexus so they would kill all psykers before the next red harvest!

cheers!

you couldnt really suck out a tyranids soul, cause that would be sucking down the hive mind. nothing could do that, not a star god, or even slaanesh! well that would be a good fight. hive minds big brain vs. she who thirsts.
necrons and nids really have no reason to fight each other. nids want biomass, not living metal, and necs want the nids non existant souls.
they also dont hate each other because 99% of both races CANT hate.

considering that hive fleets can strip a PLANET bare of all resources (including ores, soil, water, air, minerals, plants, biomass) im sure they can do something with necron bodies (i thought it was just necron vehicles and c'tan that are covered in the necrodermis)

im sure the necrons will use some kind of device to scare away the hive mind. If the tyranids consume all of the biomass in the galaxy, then the necrons could not do another red harvest. the C'tans must know this, and so would do something to stop the tyranids. im guessing the Void Dragon would do something spectacular if he needs to.

Also, Sorry master, it will not happen again......

yep, trust the c'tan to always show off and scare away the poor new comer to our lovely, war-torn corner of the universe!

and it's not so much the soul that the 'crons (or rather the c'tan) go after, but more the 'life essence' or energy that lies within all living things!

your soul = your warp signature which c'tan don't like... remember that daemons "see" people by tracking their 'soul fire' or the actual presence that a person has in the warp itself.
the c'tan just want to harvest the energies of all living beings! the fact that most living races are scared silly of the 'ctan and their necron servents is simply what makes your energy very tasty! (damned nightbringer...)

cheers!

i think if the nids stripped the galexy bare, then the C'tan would wake everyone up and move on to another galaxy, in a different direction as the nids. they wouldnt really mind cause the next galexy wouldnt have any psykers cause there wouldnt be any influence of the old ones.

or WOULD it? dun dun dunnnn

allright i have a few answers for some questions.


Culexus are Blanks. people with out a presence in the warp.

Nids do not have souls. they are bio engineered weapons of war that are spit out by the hive mind to feed him when they destroy entire solar systems.

it seems that the Necrons and Nids are one in the same and yet totally different.

2 races each fighting to exterminate the entire universe. one feeds the ctan and the other the hive mind. one is of small number of "immortal" warriors the other is made of unlimited soldiers of unlimited possiblities.

These two titans will square off soon. Emperor help us when it happens.

But the problem is, you see, neither have any reason to fight each other. Necrons have very little biomass (they are living, but a Nercon world compared to a Hive World, no competion). While the Tyranids don't have souls! In fact, the only reason they have a persence in the Warp is because the Hive Mind is so danged powerful!

but i think they will if the ctan have any brains at all they would know that eventually the nids will eat the entire universe clean. if they are not stopped the harvest will never happen.

as i said sooner or later they will square off.

:/

but i see no reason for the necrons to ignore the tyranids, the other way around it makes sence, who would eat a necron? and they simply teleport back home if they are to damaged so you`d eat them and they would *blink* out of your stomach, no point in eating them then....

But the C`Tan don`t eat souls, since souls are a warp thingy, and warp is a king of antimater for them
But on the other hand, C`Tan eat energy, and they eat the energy of living things because they`re sadist... and because it tastes good but all the time the could just suck onto a star and keep themselves full for a LONG time... but no, they have to eat our 2 joules of energy just because it`s tasty

Kinda like a whale eating millions of little fish

So necrons going for nids is pretty likely to happen.

Infinite snaks for 'you know who'`s infinite hunger.

Eventually. After The Nid's and 'Crons destory everything but each other, they will Face off.
But 'Crons will win. I mean, No one knows how many of them there are and where they are hidden, there could be 300 'Crons on every single planet, and there could be a plane that is thier "Base" so when you think about it, Necrons too have a Unlimited amount of Soilders.

Nids on the other hand. Yes, they devour everything, but dont like Necrons or there are no Records of Necrons and Tyranids fighting each other on a Large Scale.
