the thing is though; the 'nids aren't naitive to our galaxcy! who knows which galaxcy they originated from or how they even began their evolution???
their effect on the warp could very easily be a naturally evolved ability
they definately have nothing to do with chaos however! while tyranid organisims can become corrupted by chaos, it is indeed very, very rare and many believe that it can only come about once the individual organisim's link to the hive mind has been severed...
basically as my mate put it, "think of the tyranids has a highly evolved insect colony from hell!"
they simply grow and adapt to each new threat as they meet it. perhaps when the first tyranid vanguard organisims crossed into our galaxcy, they were indeed twisted by the warp? maybe the psychic presence of the hive mind has adapted to combat the threat of the daemonic? then again, there's also the fact that the tyranid race is also emotionless which is the polar opposite of chaos - the warp is feed by the emotions of all living things!
cheers!
