in regards to tau technology, i know it's not the most advanced but their the only species who's tech is advancing.

eldar tech isn't going anywhere, and even if it was there isn't enough eldar to make significant use of it against all of tyranidom.

the imperium's tech is declining, a decline that will accelerate as time goes on. imagine some catastrophe befell mars and the mechanicum were destroyed, the imperium would collapse.

as for a superweapon, there is one that exists that could totally wreck the tyranids quest for bio-mass while causing gargantuan damage to tyranid numbers - the necrons' celestial orrery. problem with that however is the gargantuan damage it would cause to the galaxy.
