"but you already knew that, I mean, how couldn't you?
Only when no Human brick is left atop another, shall we be satisfied with your destruction.

Conventional as in weaponry capable of stripping atoms apart.
Necrons can't be destroyed by in any sense of the word conventional.
If you damage them enough, they'll teleport back onto their tomb ship to be repaired.
They can most certainly be destroyed, even by lasguns and bolters:
"The sciences by which such feats are achieved remain a mystery to outsiders, for the Necron do not share their secrets with lesser races and have set contingencies to prevent their supreme technologies from falling into the wrong hands. Should a fallen warrior fail to phase-out, it self-destructs and is consumed by a blaze of emerald light. Outwardly, this appears litle different to the glow of teleportation, leaving the foe to wonder whether the Necron has finally been destroyed or has merely retreated to its tomb." Pg.7 Necron Codex 5E
I'd surmise being blasted back to it's component atoms by Forerunner weaponry would achieve the "too damaged to phase out" bit quite well.
Wait it both Universes are at their hight then that means the Primarchs as well as the God Emperor as well are walking about.
Man...this is a -blam!-.
And? 40K is based on rule of cool, so any battles between "heroes" occur face to face (often sword to sword).
The best way to eliminate the Emperor is to nova Sol, and then blast Earth/Terra for good measure.
Ok, so and blind fanboys that have anything else to say can shhhh.
Here is a respect thread for Warhammer.
Ah, failpile, always good for a laugh!

And the forerunners aren't that strong ethically.
They see other races as lower and strip them of their weapons to "protect them" A.K.A Eliminating any competition.
Arguable, they were protecting others as well when they stopped humanities rapid expansionism, it was also convenient for them to be sure, but they responded-they didn't fire the first shot.
What I'm getting at is they are much more reasonable than the majority of people in 40k, and less likely to go bathing in other peoples blood for fun and kicks...
If the majority of humanity isn't corrupted by chaos, then the majority of Forerunners certainly won't be. (Assuming they can be corrupted at all, there are species in 40k that aren't vulnerable to chaos coruption.)

I have read somewhere that the Necrontyr have contributed somewhat to Chaos, as they did have a warp signature. IT's just that they didn't investigate it much, instead preferring the route of material science. I believe the suffering of the Necrontyr on their homeworld contributed some to the rise of Nurgle.
I must have missed that, got a link?
Tau do have a warp signature, but it's minimal, partly due to the comparatively small Tau population and partly due to the merely developing psychic potential of the species, so they don't draw Chaos attention much.
As I said, they hardly have a warp presence, and aren't really threatened by chaos corruption-only its physical presence.
The Orks interact with the warp through the Waaaargh, and arguably have created their own pseudo-entity through the complexities of the Waaaaargh, Gork, and Mork.
The Tyranids don't have normal warp interactions apart from Zoanthropes because of the Shadow of the Warp Effect that the Hive Mind exudes, which at this moment, no one really quite understands. I use Chaos Gods as a loose term for major Warp Entities, in general and include Khaine, Cegorach, etc.
Aye, but as you say those aren't chaos gods, I was contesting the statement that the Forerunner would automatically spawn their own chaos god, I dont think there is any evidence to suggest the would.
They don't have to interact with chaos the same way theEldar orHumans do, the other races in 40k make this very clear.
Well, since we are looking at the Forerunners at their height, we have to look at what the Necrons and Eldar during the War in Heaven during their heights, and we don't really know much about them, apart from them being apocalyptic in scale.
We know so little about that time period that it's hard to draw any conclusion, I've been looking instead at what we do know, and I don't think the Necrons have anything that is a Game-Changer here.
Also, the Necrons have mass soul harvesting tech, so the automated Forerunner weapons might destroy Necrons, but their won't be any Forerunners left after the soul harvestings, so... I'd say that's more like a Pyrrhic victory, and more like a tie
Well, they'd have to get hold of all the Forerunners first, this is going to be more than a little tricky for them.
