Tyranids with Tyranid allies?

The 4th edition book is no longer legal to use since the 5th edition book came out, from a purely rules lawyering perspective, which is what you have to use if you are trying to finagle the rules like that.

And yes, I had misread the prior post as asking what people got from double FOC so the answer would be a fourth elite slot in a game under 2000 points.

It was part snarkiness and part a way to have a little fun.

As for legality, that is what you and your opponent make of it. Not all games are held in a 'sterile' tournament setting, in fact, most games aren't, so what you and your opponent agrees to are perfectly fine and 'legal'. If they agree with you using Genestealers to be an Allied Support for a Tau or IG army (or vice versa), then it is legal (just make sure you talk to them about before writing up the list!)
