1000 pts tyranid list for Death Guard

[adrix]

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to come up with a list for a game against a Death Guard army and I could really use some feedback if someone has the time. Not looking for something super-optimized, just not to get wreck too quick. I decided to have a large group of Tyranid Warrior as the core of the army

I don't have lictors or ripper swarms yet. Nor do I have access to extra Hive Guard at the moment.
I was thinking of maybe switching the Hive Guard for a Neuro but not sure what to do with the extra ~100 pts.

Played death guards a few weeks back, though it was a 2k point game.
But I found if you don't wanna a killy list, but a more survivable one, then jorm does pretty good against them.
They be slow, so not advancing wouldn't make you worse off.
2 blobs of warriors with dymanic camo really helps against their shooting, especially if you use the 1cp strategem for - 1 dmg if they bring plague burst crawlers. Lash whip warriors in case they do somehow charge your line, still prevents them from consolidating into objectives you're already holding.
With double movement strat and swarm lord, you'd be able to get objectives faster in general.
This is my experience with them so far

Thanks for the feedback!

From what I understand the Death Guard is gonna bring a very melee-focused list, with tons of Poxwalkers and Typhys at the helm.

I'm not sure about bonesword vs whip but it's true that I expect to be on the defensive. Would it be better to drop the Hive Tyrant and a couple of Termagant for the Swarmlord instead? I'm somewhat worried about his lack of shooting/somewhat fragile profile. Never used the guy yet so I might be wrong about that.
