necrons would more than likely stomp earth just because they have "better/more advance" scifi weapons and tech then any other wh40k faction as well as their durability is through the roof even in 40k land.

Hm IoM or every other army would stomp our modern world into dust.

Maybe they need 50-100 years but so what? I guess a Regiment from Krieg bombed a city for 500 years just to punish them and so on.

We can't stand such a war. we need our supplies.... food, gasoline, .... our industry would be destroyed, farms burned and every tank, ship, plane, ... we lose is lost forever. the IoM cloud just bring in more and more troops. In the long run we will lose. And thats just for the case we wont get bombd out of beeing.
