So one other thing I love are my Tyranids, I am coming back in the last year to the 40K game and was pretty pleased with the new codex (which forces you to think).
The below list was a response to some of the "Gee how the f*** do I use a Venomthrope". Now since I haven't made any conversions for a harpy I decided I may run this list.
the Tactics are simple: Line up the Tyranefexes on either side, next MC in are the Tervigons, next MCs at the front of what is basically a wedge is the Carnifex brood, behind the Carnifex brood is a hive tyrant and Venomthropes are evenly distributed.
Keep the Venomthrope close to the termegants, if people start aiming at him have him go to ground if he gets hit (gives a 3+ save for cover with the gaunts in front of him). Tyrant is to support the carnifexs which are supported by the tyrant and the Venomthropes.
Key principle to this army is the ability to constantly move forward\ and have the venomthropes support the gaunts, screening the heavy hitting MCs which boost the killing ability of the gaunts and the mcs. I also have a varient on this with a trygon and a 3rd tervigon replacing the Carnifexes.
Bioplasma great at removing small squads of marines before assaulting in.
This is an assault/Mid-range shooty army. So Key is to advance, advance and advance.
