Round round get around?

Sweet and thanks. I was especially curious as to how the Necrons got around. From what little I've read it seemed as if they started on a planet and stayed there as opposed to flying around space and all. I wasn't aware that they had space travel.

They do. And the Necron ships look SWEEEET! Check out Battle Fleet Gothic from GW's specialist games and you would find pics of the ships of different races.

I never said that they didn't use some form of FTL travel, although I can't find a reference that actually states one way or the other.

I just stated that 'nids don't think in terms of human timelines. Where 50, 100, or 1000 years is long for a human, that isn't the same to a hive fleet.

The latest tyranid codex mentions Space Marines doing hit and run boarding actions against tyranid hive ships just exiting the warp. So 'nids travel through the warp just like most other races do, however they do move a lot slower for some reason (probably due to the hive mind prescence in the warp).

I do believe it was mentioned in the fluff-history about one of the major Hive fleets (Kraken, Behemoth and Leviathan), however I dont remember which one. If you'd like to check for yourself I mean, whoch would be a good idea because I could have got something confused.
