I'm getting too anxious for the new tyranid codex, so I wrote a list using the current one, just to get my mind thinking in terms of bugs for the upcoming release. Obviously a lot of this will change with the new book and models, but at least I can get my head working right in terms of strategy since some of these things will likely remain unchanged.
HQ
Hive Tyrant, wings, 2 powers (biomancy), 2x TL devourers

Elite
3 hive guard
3 hive guard
3 zoanthropes, stock powers, spore pod
Troops
10x termagants

Tervigon, toxin sacs, adrenal glands, 1 power (biomancy)
Tervigon, toxin sacs, adrenal glands, 1 power (biomancy)
Tervigon, toxin sacs, adrenal glands, 1 power (biomancy)
Fast Attack
20 gargoyles
Total - 1850 on the nose.
Gargs act as a screen for my tyrants, and just mob things since they won't flee due to fearless. Zoans drop in and try to snipe heavy tanks/heavy infantry. Hive guard take over light armor duty, instant death on T4 duty. Tyrants take care of flyers, and generally act as a nuisance. Tervigons and gants to take objectives, and basically be immovable objects and unending swarms.
Thoughts?
