Personally, I think that the Necrons would stand the best chance against the Tyranids. I say that because they're all made of necrodermis, so there's no biomass for the 'nids after the battle, even if they do win. They won't be able to replenish their losses, & won't be able to grow any more evolutionary traits to help them win. Furthermore, gauss weapons just atomize whatever they hit, so if the 'nids go back to consume their dead, there'll be gradually less & less biomass for them until they're all dead. Having said that, the Necrons will all need to have awoken before they can fully take on the Tyranids, so they might be able to beat the Necrons if they strike early.
