I have done so… give a squad of guardsmen a Lasgun and a decent amount of rolled sixes and they can do anything lol.
 
If we’re talking about Story 40K… all logic goes out the window. It really depends on the author as I have seen it go both ways. Heck a solo guardsmen stopped a Carnifex with a rocket launcher to save a Ultramarine once.
 
As for this story. So while true, I based the Changelings off of the Tyranids, but their not Exactly Tyranids. They don’t have the bioweapons or the shadow of the Warp. Even if they did, you are assuming their using warp magic vs. Arcane magic.and just to point out, the artist drew the Tyrant a lot larger than it actually is. But I gave them artistic license for a cool image and I couldn’t be happier. In reality Spitz is like Twice as as big as she is here.

Your preaching to the choir with that statement. GW has back pedaled on a lot of their awesomeness. I honestly think they’re trying to unite the Tau with Imperium. Granted it is in the face of the Tyranids, but still… the Emperor would roll in his golden throne sarcophagus if he found out.
 
But actually this is old school 40K that established this.The way it basically is… the over mind is like… consume the milkyway galaxy!! At this point the Non Queens are like: Rodger that and they head out to do so as they see fit. This why the leviathan and Kraken operated differently. Marneus Calgar even had trouble dealing with a particularly clever Hive Tyrant which lead to injury and thus the battle of Macragge. So your rippers and your Hormagaunts are little more than beats, but your Lictors, Tyrants, Raveners, genestealers, and higher organisms have shown levels of capable battle intelligence. That’s why when you shoot the big ones (tried and true imperial guard tactic) the rest of the army falls apart.

Incorrect, Hive Tyrant’s(as well as higher forms of Tyranids)while completely dedicated to the cause of the Tyranid Hive mind are NOT borg.Heck the queen’s often bicker with each other according to lore. They are capable of exerting their own psychic will over lesser changelings as well a direct them. They have show intellect and cunning, heck Genestealers even more so. Plus if you sever the synapse, tyranids become their own sentient creatures. So it isn’t that they can’t think for themselves, merely they bend to the pyschic will and work in its best intrest.@Zincy  
Tyranid strength comes from numbers. If 10-20 imperial guardsmen can take down a Tyrant by itself. Then 50 or so intelligent ponies could do so.
