I just recently bought myself a "swarm of Nids"

Spoiler:

I'm looking to make a list I can bring with to any type of environment to sit down, have fun but also have a chance in winning

With the models in the spoiler tag, this is what I have come up with;

++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Tyranids) [57 PL, 878pts] ++

+ No Force Org Slot +

Hive Fleet: Kraken

+ HQ +

Broodlord [8 PL, 115pts]

The Swarmlord [15 PL, 250pts]

+ Troops +

Genestealers [16 PL, 240pts]
. 20x Genestealer: 20x Rending Claws

Genestealers [16 PL, 240pts]
. 20x Genestealer: 20x Rending Claws

Ripper Swarms [2 PL, 33pts]: 3x Ripper Swarm

++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (Tyranids) [59 PL, 1120pts] ++

+ No Force Org Slot +

Hive Fleet: Leviathan

+ HQ +

Malanthropes [5 PL, 140pts]: Malanthrope

Tervigon [13 PL, 198pts]: Massive Scything Talons, Stinger Salvo

+ Troops +

Ripper Swarms [2 PL, 33pts]: 3x Ripper Swarm

Ripper Swarms [2 PL, 33pts]: 3x Ripper Swarm

Termagants [9 PL, 224pts]
. 26x Termagant (Devourer): 26x Devourer
. 4x Termagant (Fleshborer)

+ Heavy Support +

Trygon [9 PL, 149pts]: 3x Massive Scything Talons, Toxinspike

Tyrannofex [11 PL, 208pts]: Rupture Cannon, Stinger Salvo

+ Dedicated Transport +

Tyrannocyte [8 PL, 135pts]: 5x Venom Cannon

++ Total: [116 PL, 1998pts] ++

Basic idea is to have the 40 Stealers , Swarmlord + Patriarch to rush forward if I get T1 or hide behind LosB terrain for protection of T2.

Tyrannofex with stay still on an objective, never move to shoot 6 S10 -3 D6 shoots with 6+ FnP for Leviathan and Malanthrope will grant -1 to hit.

From turn 2 the Trygon will tunnel the 30 Tgaunts and the Tyrannocyte will DS w/ Tervigon to give the Tgaunts re-rolling 1s before using the Single Mind Annihilation to get the unit to shoot twice. If not them than the Tyrannofex

All rippers will hold objects.

What do you guys think? Anything you would change? Thanks in advance.
