This is a list of three progressive lists based on the idea that i would build and paint my brothers new army in 500 pt batches.  Also these are also my first lists with Tyranids and i have only played one game using Tyranids and it was back in 4th addition with a friends army. Though i have read the sticky s with regards to weapon layouts so i hope these lists don't seem too noobish. So go after it and tear these apart  :D

P.S. keep in mind i have a limited number of models

1 hive tyrant
24 termagaunts/spinegaunts
24 hormagaunts
24 genestealers
6 warriors
3 carnifex's

weapons layouts are adjustable since i have not built them yet obviously  ;)
Armies -in fifth edition-
Blood Angels W:4 L:2 D:-
Deathwing W:- L:- D:-
Tau W:1 L:- D:-
Necrons W:0 L:1 D:1
Eldar W:- L:3 D:-
Tyranids W:- L:- D:-

Magnetize the body and the weapon arms and you'll never have to worry about weapon loadouts again.

A couple of notes:
HQ: I don't particularly like the weapon config on the HT but I can see it working out. I think Warpfield would be a better investment then EC. Your HT should be in cover anyways.

Warriors: I've experimented with warriors with a VC and it was disappointing to say the least. Also I'd say you're surprisingly light on synapse for 1000 points, especially if you're running HG's they'll outrun walking warriors and HT's pretty quick. I'd recommend either a flyrant or melee weapons with leaping to keep up. Once again, not really a big fan of EC. Warriors with Deathspitters should be walking behind a gaunt screen of some sort for mobile 4+ cover. EC does help in melee combat though.

I'm not a fan of mixing scything talons and ranged weapons of any kind on my Tyrant.  I'd much rather my Tyrant have a focused role.  In your case, since you plan on having Hormagaunts down the road, a Flyrant with a pair of Talons might be the way to go.

I can see the value of the twin linked BS on a Carnifex but I'm rather have the classic Sniperfex.  In the last list, I'd rather have +S than +I and hooks.
Proposition beslubber wins by a landslide!  I'm the 2008 Space Marine poster of the year.

Don't listen to the drunk dragon...
