Why haven't the genestealers gone for Terra?
(If they're not there already)
In the Tyranid Codex you have apparently 'dozens' of undetected genestealer infestations for every one that gets found out. They sneak aboard ships and get off at the next planet.
Considering how many ships take passengers to Terra for both official reasons and pilgrimages to Terra (which we've seen and heard a lot about in the fluff and art). How have the Genestealers not got there?
Shon'tu almost made something similar to this a reality. But the disobedient chained up astropath decided to get all uppity and throw a monkey wrench into those plans.
Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

All it would take for a mass migration to terra would be for an Ork to say "This is wer da greatiz fight uf fights will be at" and orks will flock there and terra will hold out for a while, which will only make the orks more determined and could put some hard stress on the imperium.
