they appear in a couple of Ciaphas Cain novels, worth the read.

I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

A novel from the Tyrainds PoV would be rather boring as none have a personality though an Ordo Xenos novel about a Genestealer Cult could be a fun read.
As for your question the only one I'm familiar with is the baove mention Warriors of Ultramar with is actually a good read despite it being Smurfs (Graham McNeill is the best author under BLs contract imho)

I think it was Aaron Dembski-Bowden or Nick Kyme who did a short story (for Fear the Alien, maybe?) where some parts of the story were from a Tyranid POV. It actually wasn't that horrible.
I think that you could totally do a story from the POV of a Genestealer Cult member. Especially one who doesn't realize that he's an infected alien. The books say that many Genestealer cults in fact believe themselves to be devoted to the Ruinous Powers, until the Hive Ships start showing up. Might make for a fun story!

His portrayal of the Death Korps is horrible, mind you.

Haha that video is pretty funny xD deviantArt actually has a lot of "chibi" tyranids xD
On a serious note, a novel from their perspective could be very interesting if done well. I once found a short story from the pov of a Hive Tyrant, about it's life in the fleet. It was done quite well, and the Hive Tyrant gets reformed into the Swarmlord at the end, also like how they portrayed the Hivemind. https://m.fanfiction.net/s/9196436/1/The-Mind-of-the-Swarm
