Chaos is multiversal and not even bound by linear time, so Tyranids could eat the entire universe and they would still be around.
Khorne at least has also shown the capacity to feed on the Tyranids, in fact the Tyranids are the favoured prey of some Daemonkin warbands because of the amount of violence that can be unleashed.
The shadow has no power to block daemons as a general rule, armies of daemons have even manifested within the very bowels of hive ships.

Warhammer Fantasy? Whats that?

Specific references that support your arguement please.

Warhammer Fantasy is the precursor to GW's Age of Sigmar.
The universal crossover existed from almost the very beginning.
Chaos Champions in Warhammer Fantasy could receive bolt guns and plasma guns, a Chaos Marine even appears amongst the Chaos Warriors on the cover of The Lost and the Damned.
The magical item rewards from the Dark Shadows campaign were Warhammer 40,000 wargear.
In the Liber Chaotica series the author is a man from the Warhammer world, but sees visions of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
In the White Dwarf covering the release of the first daemon Codex and Army Book joint release the daemons are said to be the same beings no matter whether they are in 40k or Fantasy.

IDK if it was just speculation, but I remember reading (portent maybe, ooh man I'm old) that the fantasy world was actually a planet in the 40K galaxy, but surrounded by a warp storm. Making the time difference easily explained, and 40k items/people falling onto the planet.

Well yes and no.. we know that Slaanesh for example has a birth date. Likely so do the other gods, but they are so ancient no one knows them. Also it seems likely that if a particular god's realm of influence was destroyed it would perhaps not immediately kill the god, but certainly weaken. Perhaps even kill them over vast amounts of time.

I'd have to argue this isn't true. A 40K Bloodthirster is significantly more durable than it's FB equivalent. Can you imagine desperate guardsman hauling out a black powder cannon in an attempt to drop a 40K Thirster? That's not even a reliable way to kill a Chaos marine. Conversely imagine the mess a lascannon would make of a creature that could be killed outright by a single cannonball.

Slaanesh is said to have existed for all time. The warp does not follow linear time, and since Slaanesh was born he has existed forever. This is mentioned in the daemon codex.

They existed in separate universes, the laws of those universes could differ greatly, and that's before considering that almost every thing in Fantasy is imbuned in some form with magic given the Realm of Chaos bleeds freely into the world.

While it is the warp- so it could be true- that makes no sense. But as I said, it is the warp... Then again I'm not sure which Daemon Codex, or for how long said codex fluff will remain 'correct'. Eh..

Doesn't the old cross over stuff prove the laws aren't that different? Humanoids are pretty much identical between 40k and Fantasy aren't they?

My understanding of Slaanesh is that in the Warp it has both always and never existed.

To be fair magic/Warp stuff bleeds into reality all over the 40k galaxy too.
