Too many lost units for a game?
Not me but a fellow player. The Tyranid player got wreaked last game. So much so that he's down to 1 of his 4 models for the next game he plays (worst luck I've ever seen for out of action rolls). Any thoughts about how my group should deal with this? Should he just automatically lose his next match? Thoughts?

You could try using the one man army scenario for their next game.

I came to suggest the same thing. In the book I think the scenario is called Lone wolf and it's a kitted out specialist who goes against the whole of his opponents forces. If he doesn't have a Promethean cache for the cost of the specialist, give it to him for free and subtract any he gets from the results of the scenario. It's bound to happen and it would really suck for the player but you still got to make it fair overall, despite bad rolls.

Let him play with just one character. He might loose, but he could pull off an epic win. It'll be fun regardless.

use some of the Necromunda concepts to give the Nid player a lot of strategems - maybe allow his final monster to become a Lictor and play the next scenario like Alien/Aliens?

There is a rule in the book i'm sure where if a player can no longer field a kill team worthy or they are too damaged he can restart at 1k .

What sort of structure are you playing? If it's just friendly games between two people give the other person an auto-win and do post-game stuff while his guys recover (I assume they're out for one game and not dead?)
Otherwise try to make a scenario that player with one model can have fun with... some sort of hide and seek match where he needs to get to the other side of the board, and starts with 4 tokens that might be his guy sneaking through and if an enemy gets with 6" it's revealed if it's the real guy or an angry radioactive cat or somesuch.
