Actually its also mentioned in the Necron Codex, page 11. They mention that the Tyranids seem to avoid some worlds while attacking other...since it says they allow the worlds to survive it would seem they mean living worlds not dead tomb worlds.

A tomb world can be anything. It could be a ball of rock or a jungle paradise. Sleeping away for millions of years and you let the garden go nuts, plants regrow or maybe settlers colonize the world etc etc it's still the fact of the matter this idea was contrived on the internet through snippets of information on something obscure someone wanted to know more about.

No its contrived by information in the Necron Codex and supported by the location of the Outsider and the origins of the Tyranids.

In the end its simply an unknown...the most reliable source of info, Codex Necrons, simply hints at it. However, they pretty much directly say the Void Dragon is the machine spirit of Mars...now thats a far more interesting bit anyways. The bit where a Daemon shows Abbadon the Void Dragons tomb inside Mars is great.

That and the novel Mechanicum that flat out says the Void Dragon is on Mars.

Interesting, I might have to check it out. Ive never read a 40k novel.

Mechanicum also hints at that something will happen ten millennia from then.
