2k Army List New Player

[xhiveswarmgorex]

Hey guys. I focus on model painting and have slowly acquired enough tyranid models for a 2k point army.
It would be great if I could please have some help putting together a list from the models I have.
Most are painted, some are modular with magnetized parts.
Im sure it wouldnt be anything too good, but it would be nice to see if I can make a game out of it. Even a 1k point game would be fun.

Models:

Hive Tyrant (can be swarmlord or winged)
Neurotyrant
Broodlord
Winged Tyranid Prime

Termagants x20
Hormagaunts x10
Gargoyles x10
Ripper swarms x3
Genestealers x5
Neurogaunts x11

Barbgaunts x5
Von Ryans Leapers x3
Warriors with ranged x6 (1 prime)
Raveners x3
Zoanthropes x3

Carnifexes x2 (1 can be One eye)
Screamer Killer
Psychophage
Maleceptor
Haruspex or Exocrine
Mawloc or Trygon
Tyrannofex or Tervigon

I feel like im asking for someone to do my homework lol. Any advice would be helpful and much appreciated. Thank you!

Tyrannofex, Trygon, Exocrine, and Malceptor are all pretty decent; a fun list would probably involve including those models. They are pretty solid in any detachment, so they make a good core to build from. The Zoans and Gargoyles are good general includes as well. The rest depends on what detachment you’d like to run and if you want to play tactical or fixed secondaries, the latter requires more tailored lists.

With what you have, Unending Swarm and Vanguard are not going to be effective for you. They need more battleline or INVADER units. Nexus or Invasion are probably good choices for you. Nexus has great relics for the Neurotyrant and Flying Tyrant, and Invasion Fleet has good generalist rules.

Run OOE with Carnifex in reserves along with the melee warriors and prime. Focus on trying to rapid ingress them. Use raveners to score points along with forward deployed leapers. hormagaunts to move block and tie stuff up or control objectives/steal them. . Use gargoyles in deep strike and use them to swoop in to steal objectives or move block. Run a big ball of your monsters up the board with the hive tyrant to support and give out 5+ feel no pain. Neurotyrant keep separate from neruogaunts and have them hold the back field and home objective. Or you can send nerogaunts to move block or give synapse on the front line. Broodlord and genestealers, use them to either tie up a strong enemy vehicle/unit or hide them behind a wall to charge when the opponent tries to take a middle objective. With tyranids you want to play cagey and keep your units together.
