it is rumored that a few or the old ones escaped after the war in heaven and fled, personally i think that the emperor and possibly cegorach could be some of those old ones. the remaining old ones who managed to escape to a neighbouring galaxy may have created the tyranids in order to wipe out  the warhammer 40,000 universe, after which the tyranids will eventually consume themselves and starve. with the tyranids having wiped out all life in the galaxy the old ones would be able to return and start again. So kinda why he wants to purge all mutants, burn all heretics & kill all xenos?

makes sense that he want's to start over, but why wouldn't he have the eldar help?

also if you knew the necrons were in hibernation, wouldn't it be easier to just smelt them into parts for your ships or ammunition? :P
