Hmmm... The Old Ones appear throughout the records as caretakers to the milky way galaxy, it may be safe to assume that the Old Ones knew of the Tyranids long before they arrived here, or they may have no conection at all, most "factual" knowledge surrounding the Old Ones is theory however I have a much greater concern. The immaterium as we know can be accessed from anywhere (not phisically of course but psychically) this is proven by the fact that the Tyranid Hive Mind was clouded by the Shadow of the Warp even before reaching the galaxy's rim and Tyranids will not adapt without something to "kick start," the evolution, so this means one of two possibilities that I can think of...

1: The Tyranids have encountered psykers before and have adapted to this, this may apppear to be the most ideal theory however if psychics exsisted then their emotions would cause the Warp to be born IF they exsisted before the War of Heaven, so this means that if psychics have exsisted in other galaxies then ours isn't the only one they seek to claim...

2: Someone "gave," this Shadow of the Warp to the Tyranids which would indicate that some ancient faction has been (or was) "helping," the Tyranids on their path by making them extremely resistant to corruption and psychic warfare...
