I'll be attending the 40kOnline tournament in August, and will most likely take the nids. I'll probably be the only nid player, as it was just me and Chuckles last time, and he's not coming this year. I've not really played much since the last one, and have not yet played a game in 6th. This is the list I used at last year's tournament - can anyone see any improvements I could make, and has anyone any advice for making the best use of Tyranids in the Brave New World of 6th Edition?

Hive Tyrant with 1x Tyrant Guard, lash whip & bone sword, HVC, hive commander, paroxysm and leech essence (280)

Most units performed adequately last time. If anyone the tyrant was probably the most underwhelming. Most Valuable Units were the Trygon, Tervigon and Ymgarls.
Available for substitutes are: Warrior prime, warrior with barbed strangler, carnifex fully magnetised for options, another squad of 8 stealers (unpainted), 1 extra hiveguard (unpainted). I would prefer to avoid painting anything extra.
