Hi,

I'm new to the game and decided I'd start with Tyranids.
I'm building an army from scratch and want to build a modular army that I can play in 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 point games.
Here is my proposed list. I would appreciate all feedback on building a strong modular army.


Basic strategy I'm going with is building towards Deathleaper guiding in Raveners and Mawlocs.
