How does this look for a casual 1K army of nids? It's only 56 models, which seems kind of small for Tyranids.

Your hive tyrant is way too tooled up for 1000 points IMO. Just go with Wings, 2x scytals, toxin sacs, and maybe flesh hooks.

Devogaunts are terrible. Drop them - use the points for more spinegaunts. Maybe consider splitting the genestealer's into four brood of 6, instead of two broods of 12. More targets, more scoring units, more flexibility.
