My battles generally last two or, more usually, three turns, if I'm playing
my Chaos Marine army. With my Tyranid army, it's usually more like 3 or 4 turns,
although I've played some very long games (6+ turns) with them. Especially
when I'm foolish enough to take tyranids in a small game such that, in order to
get enough VP to win, I have to kill every single enemy model...
