I don't know what your meta is like but I'm not sure there is enough scoring MODELs as opposed to units. If I was fighting this I would commence trying to kill troops - the gaunts are quite squishy.

1st list by far, swarm lord never makes it across the battlefield and 3 mawlocks are beast. Also the winged hive tyrant is a must constidering that he is the only true anti air tyranids have. personally i think you need 2 Flyrants (at least where i play) but i guess 1 or 2 depends on your tipical tournament meta :3
