As for killing him, just focus him down with anti-armour weapons, like Lascannons and Vanquisher Leman Russes.

Which game mode are you talking about exactly? Is it Last Stand?

When you say tyranid super monster, you mean Anvil map wave 13 Swarmlord?

You need armor-piercing and/or anti-vehicle weaponry. Things like rockets, missiles and lascannons specifically do a lot of damage to heavy and superheavy units like what you're talking about. You are most likely thinking of the carnifex or the swarmlord, if I had to guess.

Weaponry like plasma and autocannons are less effective, but will be able to at least do some damage against those enemies. Some melee units can be good against those types of enemies, as well, such as the Ork Nob squad or the Chaos Lord.

swarmlord or fex? my best strategy is never allow them to be built on the 1st place.. win the economic war by dominating the resources.. if not possible.. surround them with lascannons.. and split your squads around them, dont concentrate your lascannon hw groups in a small area.. leman russ seems to be a good option too, but im not familiar with this unit
