Does anyone know of a good 1,500 point tyranid list I will be most commonly facing orks. Any advice is appreciated.
"The space marine officer was waving and yelling to his men on the wall unaware he was leading the Squiggoth on. Stompy (the squiggoth) headbutted its way through the wall and gave chase to the terrified commander as he ran up seven tiers of the fortress, trying to close gates behind him and ordering men to cover his fight. In the end, stompy cornered and pulverised the officer in the heart of the citadel as thousands of orks poured through the breaches he had left behind."

I've posted a few lists, most of which are at 1500,1650, and 1850. The most recent is "From the darkness". I don't know the new codex, but in general that is a good matchup.

Things that wreck orcs.

HQs:
Hive Tyrants wings & 2 Twin Devourers w/ brainleech and Electroshock grubs.

The 12 shoots at 6 Str will clear orcs. The 5 Str template and 6 shoots will clear more orcs at close range. You can also use the Electroshock vs their vehicles if they go trucks or Battle Wagons.

Hvy:
Biovores I would say in groups of 2s.

I'd bring a single Mawlock. His Double template coming up under them could really wreck orcs.

Tyrannofex w/ Electroshock. His standard gun is nasty vs orcs. It has torrent and is template that will clear orcs.

Fast:

Hive Crones- This one choice will be the bane of orcs. Its Haywire missiles can wreck vehicles and it has a flamer which is deadly to orcs.

What to look out for:

Don't let Nobz power fist your MCs to death. You can bubble wrap a Tyrannofex w/ gaunts just leave space for the electroshock to fire.

Be careful to also wrap Biovores so he can't just assualt them.

I like Zoanthropes for synapse and 1 Zoan produces 2 WCs. Again keep them wrapped or out of melee.
