HI, Im new to wargaming and as my first army im using tyranids my opponent is a fairly good chaos space marine player and i need some advice on what the best list is to play him with.

He normally fields 20 nurgles The models i have available are
12 Beserkers HIve Tyrant
A Vindicaor 16 Genestealer,28Termagaunts,16 HOrmagaunts
2 Daemon Princes A Carnifex, Trygon, 3 Raveners
1 Obliterator 2 Zonathropes 1 Hive guard, 3 Warriors
1 Rhino 1 Lictor ( want to use as Death Leaper)
1 Defiler Im open to buying a few new models but not loads
5 Terminators
Abadin( Not sure on spelling )

He basically makes his army have low saves and invunerable saves so its hard to kill him up close then he shoots me to reduce my numbers
I would be really greatfull for some help on a list and possibly some tactics
Ps We are playing 2k points

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Welcome to Dakka!

My first big piece of advice ios to make you post easier to read. Something Like:

His Models:
20 Plague Marines
12 Berzerkers
Vindicator
2 Demon Princes
Abadon
Defiler
5 Terminators
Rhino

My models:
Hive Tyrant
16 Genestealers
28 Termagants
16 Hormagaunts
Carnifex
Trygon
3 Raveners
2 Zoanthropes
1 Hive Guard
3 Warriors
Deathleaper

This makes it much easier to see what you are talking about. People are lazy, and unlikely to respond if they have to wade through a poorly written post.

Looking at what you are facing, I have a couple recomendations.

1) Get more Hive Guard. These guys are extremely effective vs his armour.

2) anywhere you can, put toxin sacks on models. He has a lot of High T models, and poison does wondrous things to them.

Cheers!

Thanks it was my first post i appreciate the feedback
