how can anyone say the Tyranids and the Flood would be a draw? what the devil? have you seen a Tyranid, they are huge, vicious things with claws the size of people that can slice tanks in half without much trouble, how in the name of Jesus would Flood be able to stop a swarm of Genestealers, they would just be ripped apart like cooked chicken! also they reproduce like Xenomorphs from the Alien movies except they are probably more deadly!
How coud the Flood lose to a demi-godlike race with starship weapons that could Death Star planets, obliterate stars, had small vehicular weapons/power armor that could devestate cities (Forerunner super cities that is) and blast continents into orbit?
Except they already did that. This is the same race of beings (Forerunners) that wouldn't dare get any where near a planet with so much as a single Flood spore on the surface. They instead would just destroy it without even evacuating any remaining population centers. They were automatically signed off as lost.
As I said, people constantly underestimate the Flood. And you are constantly underestimating the Tyranids. When I said the ones we have seen are just the vanguard, I mean it. You can't kill a dozen galaxies by being a pushover (no exageration, the 'Nids really have killed a dozen galaxies).
Each and every 'Nid is a creature designed for only one purpose: the death and consummption of all organic life. Every day they mutate into something new, perfectly suited fo rthe job at hand.
Old One Eye for example, this is a Carnifax that has been killed dozens of times, each time regenrating with no damage. Scout Sergeant Telion of the Ultramarines fought it and shot it through the eye with a sniper rifle destroying it's brain. It came back.
The Nercrons are also at a similar level to the Forerunners. When the invaded the planet of Damnos, they drained the planet sized sea into a trans-dimensional sinkhole. The Herald of Dismay also state that he trapped his an attempted usuper in a prison a millisecond apart from the rest of the universe.
And then, there are the daemons, a impossible horde that feeds off of emotion. Each and every one of them is an army unto itself. Nurgle is also capable of creating disease to which none are immune. The only reason there are cures is because the Eldar Goddess of Healing is imprisoned there and Nurgle tests his diseases on her.
Nothing I have heard suggests to me the 'nids are any more powerful then the Flood. You say they are designed for only one purpose: the destruction and consumption of all life everywhere. Congragulations: you just described the Flood.
The concept of regeneration isn't too hard to believe the Flood could do. Not as quick as the Old One Eye necassarily, but the FSC is perfectly capable of regeneration. We already know they are in fact. Look at Sergeant Johnson. He had regenerative capabilities after his fight with the Flood.
Like I said: not so far, to me, who is only just recently getting into the WH40K universe, impressed compared to the Flood.
