The first tyranids to get here were, as SanguniousLives said, long time ago and obviously something went down. But if Hive Fleet Behemoth had hit Ultramar in the heigh of the Crusade it would have been pulverised. Then Kraken, then Leviathen, and then the Emperor would get worried, as would many of the Primarchs. They would have either amped up Fringe and outlier defences, or delved fully into the Webway project so we could stop them faaster. But eventually, the sheer might of the Tyranids would ovewhelm them. I mean, projections in the 40k say that we'd require a 500% deployment to stop the TRUE fleet, without even considering how many "scout" fleets like the other three would hit first. No question, if the orks don't win Armeggedon, and the Golden Throne doesn't give out, and Abaddon can't get past Cadia, the Tyranids will be the end of us
