If anyone is feeling charitable and wants to paint a giant Tyranid army to a professional standard in 2 weeks you can feel free to let me know (wink wink kid kid).
The Swarmlord - 280
Tyrant Guard x 1 - 60
Parasite of Mortrex - 160
2 x Zoanthropes - 120

Dropped furious off the gargs, b/c if they need it, they can get it from Swarmlord.
Tyrant Guard + likely Iron Arm makes Swarmlord ridicudurable, to the point that it's either an auto-win if someone tries to focus fire him on turns 1-2, or he gets there, and that's pretty good for me too. I should clarify, Iron Arm + Endurance from someone + Telekine Dome from someone (I'll get at least one of each in almost any game unless extremely unlikely, if you roll up the math on 19 powers) makes for ridicudurable. Iron Arm alone doesn't cut it so well.
Army largely ignores flyers, which aren't going to have meaningful time on target due to board crossing, and which can't late drop on objectives, b/c they'll be swarmed by model count.
edit - 25 Powers
Here's a mock-up testbed for the paint scheme ... Hive Fleet Dendrobates
