My goodness, this will goint to be tough for the enemy.
The best way to deal with the bugs is to shoot them.

My tyranid friend is not going to be happy about taking away leaping. He ran a unit of leaping warriors with scything talons. Not only that, but he runs a broodlord as his HQ always (doesn't even have a HT in his 2.5k of nids).

There'll be a Warrior Alpha HQ choice, which will buff Warriors into rampaging utter, kill-all machines (it makes them WS6). However, if he likes the Broodlord, he can now take one as an upgrade to every Stealer Squad.
So, if your opponent wants to max out on this with Stealer Shock, what will you do? Defilers and Dreads?

We should elaborate on that. DO NOT CHARGE WITH YOUR LESSERS! It just gives them a free consolidation move.
Put them in a line directly in front of the Stealers and shoot at them. In the next phase, your opponent will either have to go all the way around the Lessers or Assault into them and only get the consolidation move that turn. Either way, he isn't going anywhere quickly. This will buy you a turn, sometimes two to back up and get some range on the Stealers so you can shoot at them like any sane individual would do.

Yup. Get some cheap picket units of 5 Daemons each, and use them as speed-bumps to slow down the Genestealers and/or force them to endure point-blank ranged firepower.

As far as I remember there are winged Warriors as fast attack.

It would certainly defeat the whole purpose of the game, or at least re-releasing the Tyranid army, if we could pull perfect counter-tactics out of our collective butts before putting models on the table.
