First of all, the Imperium of Man includes the Space Marines, the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Imperial Guard, and the Inquisition. The Tyranids would do well against Reaper ground forces, but in a war of attrition, especially in space, the Reapers would win since the Tyranids really can't absorb any biomass from the Reapers. Even their infantry are part technology. The Imperium of Man would do very well, they have literally billions of soldiers in the Imperial Guard alone, and the Space Marines are some of the most dangerous military forces in the galaxy. The Necrons would ravage the Reapers. Their infantry, vehicles, and ships all regenerate. Their Gauss weapons rip apart matter on an atomic level, their particle weapons are literally anti-matter contained in energy, and their ship-based weapons are 100% accurate and ignore shielding. They don't even have FTL drives: they have phase drives which let them almost instantly travel from one point in the galaxy to another. Their infantry and vehicles repair themselves even after being destroyed, and they have mastery over the science of time control. Now, they will still suffer losses of a permanent nature (the Reapers aren't pushovers) but the battle is a bit one-sided.

WH40K races and Reapers are allowed all the resources currently available to them (for the Tyranid's sake, whatever resources that they have currently been able to bring to bear against the empire of man and the other races-resource books/novels included).
Reaper was defeated by an universe with a very low tech level even the old republic in star war have better tech level... So....
They can use the Necron... Reaper are not stupid enough to use their only chance to win and end this chaos cycle.. The question is CAN THE NECRON WIN??? Well at least they cannot loose.
They may have also the possibility to get the Tyranids on their side but that's an other problem...
Reaper get wrecked badly wreck. XD They cannot solo any faction...
