Would the hive mind really aggree to such an alliance though? and even if it did, how long until it attempts to stab the necrons in the back?

Also, my personal opinions/ideas about the origins of the Tyranids are that:

A) The original tyrnaids were subjected to conditions that caused them to need to be able to evolve/adapt rapidly in order to survive. The hivemind could have been a much more intelligent tyranid that evolved to have a greater mental capacity than the other Tyranids int something similar to the original Zerg overmind in Starcraft, basically a giant brain.

B) The hivemind could have influenced the tyranid's evolution to cause them to become what they are now, a sort of slave/army race with no will other than the hive mind's own. (Sort of similar to Amon and the Zerg from Starcraft)

However im not sure where the tyranid Norn-Queens fit into all of this.
