The only way to beat the Tyranids is not throught numbers, power or zeal byt by diversity. What makes the Tyranids strong, apart from numbers, is their ability to adapt. Overwhelm and remove that ability and they will become easy to kill.

While the idea of luring the tyranids close to a star, and then blowing it up is sound, why should they be lured in the first place? The bug fleets have already made incursions in the milky way galaxy, thus they are surrounded ny stars. A good strategy would be to wait until the bulk of the fleet arrives, and blow up several stars around it. Perhaps attracting as much of them near the star, before making it go supernova. At the least this method could be used to direct them, by avoiding the stars that would explode.
