My gf is just now starting to get into Warhammer 40k. I'm a long time Tyranid player, I have about 4000-5000 pts worth of nids. There isn't a formation I can't run.

Even holding back, I'm going to have at least 2 flyrants in the air, and numerous monsterous creatures.

I know her poison guns should work wonders on my MCs, but I'm worried about her air.

She has 7 raiders that she inherited, for what its worth.

Please help me design a take all comers list against Tyranids. I want her to do well against me, without thinking I handed her the game or that I couldn't run a certain unit against her. From that list, I'll add more as our points increase. But I really need a base idea of what to get her.
