1000 point kraken list

[zohanthrope]

I just got into the hobby and chose Tyranids as my faction. I love the lore of galaxy travelling bugs. I finally collected enough models to make a 1000 point army and would love to get some opinions on it.

I got the genestealers to rush in with the broodlord to destroy and annoy. Then the hormies for screens and such. Then the zoans for smite spamming and general psychic antics. I like the flavor and look of the army, but any ideas on improvement or ideas on how to expand into 1500 or 2000 points would be greatly apprecated.Thanks!

Can't hurt to get a couple of exocrine or a unit of 6 hive guards. Always good shooting with them

If you are going to expand definitely a kronos patrol

Nuerothrope
Exocrine
6x hive guard
Ripper swarm or 10x gaunt

[zohanthrope]

Got the genestealer kraken sling with backup and objective bullies with my custom hive fleet. I hope this is viable and if not please tell me. Plus and flyrant with a swarmlord seems nice.
