Soo, Shroud VS Tyranids, who wins?
I'm leaning towards Shroud, but its hard to be sure.

Not enough info about how well the Shroud handles void combat. The nids don't do great, but if the Shroud is also pants then it could lose to bioplasma bombardment.Soo, Shroud VS Tyranids, who wins?

The sensors that the Federation had were able to shoot backwards in time by several seconds. I think it was in a mechancus book? I mean a Imperum ship would be considered almost totally blind compared to a Federation ship.The imperium can fight off nids in the void with half blind ships that use couriers with letters to send orders.
I think that was one specific ship. It shot black holes from a spinal mount and when it missed it was easier to reverse time and fire again than reload.The sensors that the Federation had were able to shoot backwards in time by several seconds.

Fairly similar to pre-fall Age of Technology states.
I don't think it actually helps with anything if they do, and would upset the Imperium even more, potentially losing a food source, so I'd think the shroud would try to discourage it.
A few people worshiping isn't a problem. It's when millions do it then it gets the Warp churning.
The Speranza, an Ark Mechanicus class capital ship, notable for not only predating the Dark Age of Technology but also possessing such remarkable features as graviton beams; weapons that create black holes at the target location and a gun that rewinds time, causing its target to destroy itself as its past version tries to occupy the same space\time as its present version and the two collide in a violent explosion. Especially notable for having a Machine Spirit that is actually a full AI (or possibly even a shard of the Void Dragon itself) and in possession of a complete STC Database, the Mechanicus are just unaware of this because the AI couldn't give a shit about the Imperium and prefers to lay low and memory wipe anyone who interfaces with it and learns its secrets.I think that was one specific ship.

Though if it is backed up by pre-fall tech humans with men of stone opperated ships then the nids are fucked. The imperium can fight off nids in the void with half blind ships that use couriers with letters to send orders. A proper ship with good sensors and internal controls should wreck them.
Quite the opposite actually. The Shroud was stated to be capable of completely hiding human souls. Drich does not because he has to eat and if he hides the humans completely in the Silence he will eventually starve.100% psyker populations seem like they're better at handling passive cultist problems, because they can constantly check eachother for corruption, but I'm not sure anything was specifically said on the subject in cannon, and without the Shroud they'd have to deal with Daemonic incursions trying to get them all at once.
It might even be a problem with the Shroud, because the Silence won't completely conceal the presence of all the extra souls and Daemons don't necessarily have to scale their attacks linearly with the population.
I suspect there will be plenty to keep the Primarch busy.
Pre-fall humanity created the Men of Iron, who had ships that consumed space\time itself. They would have considered the Tyranids to be a particularly irritating invasive pest, but not actually a very dangerous one beyond their sheer mass of numbers.Hell, pre-fall humans could have probably held off the Nids for a damn long time, they would also be very likely to catch and eliminate Genestealer cults pretty quickly as well, Catacha was probably a research outpost looking into the genetics there initially which makes it even more impressive that they managed to survive.

In short, to Pre-fall humanity, the Tyranids would be a swarm of alien locusts.
Primarchs are, as a rule, more mentally capable then your standard human being. Therefore it is very possible that the Primarch will contribute directly in the psykers gene engineering with his vastafter learning how important that project is to there escape.
Green Food. So they would be the veggies for the Shroud meat(warp) dietI just thought of this but what happens when the Shoud runs into the Necrons and the C'tan?
It depends on what exactly the shroud actually is. If it comes from a source as far outside of the C'tan's experience as the Warp, then some variants of shroud energy might be able to harm a C'tan.I just thought of this but what happens when the Shoud runs into the Necrons and the C'tan?

Necrons on the other hand are a pain, because they don't stick around to be eaten when defeated, and because a lot of their systems are either too high energy to easily eat from, or difficult to get at/find the energy source. On the other hand they don't seem like they would adapt their weapons and tech easily, so if the Shroud finds a weakness it'd remain widely exploitable for quite some time.
