No, nothing like that. The Tyranid Norn queens are the primary conduit of the Hive Mind and `Lay`? all the other tyranid creatures. It is not known what and how the Shadow in the Warp is, or how it is created or whatever. The NQ have a connection towards all the tyranid creatures, like an antenna that stabilizes the signal. If one is killed the entire fleet will Feel it, the thing is those Bug Queen are giant and very, very hard to kill.
