In any case, the only force that could hope to properly combat the Tyranids is a Space Marine legion, or a Chaos Space Marine legion. As for the rest of the forces out there: Tau won't be able to hold them back. Eldar are far too scattered, and too scared, to mount a fighting force against the Tyranid. Necrons could present the Tyranids with some serious problems, but I wouldn't peg the survival of the Milky Way galaxy on the Necrons winning. Orks are the only species I know of that multiply as fast as Tyranids, so maybe there will be a stalemate there, but not sure on that one. Imperial Guard, Sisters, and Mechanicum won't be able to properly fight the Tyranids without Space Marine assistance. Any body disagree?
