a) My tyranid opponent has always outnumbered my eldar/space marines, my a
massive amount.
 Also, how the game plays aint like the fluff describes things, i.e. undead
in warhammer have countless legions, but to make the game balanced they are
always a small army.
 
I think the reason they always react to their opponents is because they dont
really consider them at all - they just sweep forward killing everything, so
should the eldar host move position they wont bother about it at all until
its time to eat that area of the planet, or until they attack.

P.S. Its like red ants in the jungle - they just move forward consuming
everything.
