I'm a little confused about what you want to transform it into.  Do you want it to be better?  Do you want it to be 1500 points?

OK sorry if i wasn't clear i was in a hurry to post this army i would like to keep this a 750 army but i only have 20 gaunts, 12 genestealers, 16 spore mines, and 1 broodlord  (basically two battle of macronage tyranind sets and a broodlord) but I'm not a good army builder so any comments, suggestions, or questions about this army will be very helpful

So basically i want to make it better

A flyrant, a fex or two, some hormagaunts, and some zoanthropes would be a good start to add to your army.

u need more troops especially hormagaunts also drop the without number and scuttlers on the gaunts. tyranids are a swarm army u need lots of cheap troops and big scary monsters. so get a carnifex.

if u have a budget problem use the hormagaunts that u got with your gaunts make them cheap though, so i would say use everything u got in the 2 gaunt boxes 16 gaunts and 16 hormagaunts.

your genestealers are also pricey cut out the scything talons its over kill in 750 pts list, but definatly give them extended carapace.

i wouldnt take two zoanthroapes, one should do it if u use it right, they are good but again this isnt a huge list

definatly try get hold of a carnifex always a good thing, but just make sure u keep it cheap i would suggest a Dakkafex 2 devourer, enhanced senses, 113

so ya thats what i think but troops are the main priority then the carnifex. good luck

There isn't  a whole lot you can do with the models you have.  Frankly, you're spending too many points on these brrods to make 750 points.  What you need to get get some money together and get the battle force.  Then you'll have a playable army.

I second what Yuengling said.  My army was at the 750 point level and consisted of 2 BFM's nids and a Battleforce for the longest time.  750 is a hard level to build a tyranid army for, but you really need those extra numbers at this point.
