Anyone got any Tyranid Fighting Ideas? Will Death company be of any use?

cheap flamers, and the blender dread do wonders

Baal Predator should wipe floor with them, but do not fill your army with flamers only. And remember that BP is expensive. If you prefer CC, always try to get assaulting bonus yourself and that's why DC is good here. Sure, they're expensive but 10-man squad is only 200 whitout jump packs (useless, 'nids will run at you anyway). Weak 'nids will die in simple bolterfire so Death Company might be used with bolters (and maybe hand flamer?). Then you can assault (Relentless) and if you have 100 points to spare, chaplain is always good with these guys.

And against tougher guys, a Drearnought is always nice.

Fragnought > blenderdread.

I don't recommend the DC against Nids because a good Nid player will assault them with their fleet units feed them a sacrificial unit and the counter assault them. Always try to assume you opponent is decent.

Which Baal predator? The dakka one can't ignore cover and the flamer one has to get within assault range.

For Tyranids, I'd actually drag out the MLs for the MCs. The cheap assault team in a razor back with flamer, hand flamer and a TL HF on the razor is a good staple as well.
