40K Bring the Swarm

Hey there folks
Our group has started playing 40K and will start posting battle reports in the New Year.  We have started to play 500 pts games just to get everyone up to speed on the rules and such.  It already looks like everyone is going to have a lot of fun.  I will be playing the TYRANIDS.  We hope to bring you all the excitement from all our games and any help or ideas for lists.
I do not or would not classify myself to be a subject matter expert on the Tyranids but after our first 6 500 pts matches, the guys are trying to find ways to deal with my swarm.  I am trying to base my swarm off of Star Ship Troopers.  My list WILL NOT have any models that shoot and all models will have the FEED rule. Now it will have phychic shooting but nothing with a gun of any sort.  I will try it out and let everyone know what happens.  From looking at how things are working and listening to the guys trying to find rules that slow me down and dirty tricks to stop my swarm, in every case I just say, ok well what about the other 60 bugs on that side of the table....
All though I am in my glory now, I’m sure things will change as we move to higher point games. The real test will be when we start a campaign. For now that’s all I got, so keep rolling the dice because it doesn’t matter that you have a 2+ save when you have to roll 30 dice.  You will fail some of them......
