This is the game winning army that almost won against 3000pts of a meatgrinder from the old rulebook Tyranid army. What we played was necromunda style scenery as in city fight things too, taken over by a genestealer invasion. After playing a few games and winning with equal points we played a big game with the Tyranids outnumbering and resetting their losses. This is a scenary in an old edition of Warhammer 40k, if anyone remembers that 
? With the original dark eldar release if anyone remembers that.
Here's a bit of fan=fiction and my strategy and then the army.
"So here we are commander. We are to deal with Tyrannid threat no matter what. The Cicatrix Maledictum has opened up as predicted by command. We are tasked with finding a way to defeating these Tyranids. However hard it may be. We are deployed with you and now as the Biologus, with your command we can achieve anything as you believe and finally deal with the Tyrannid menace for the Emperor. Shouted the Apothecary Biologus over the din.
We can do it, just keep fighting, we are equipped for the long term. Each Xenomorphic invasion we will study and evolve a deterrant or a poison so powerful with our artisanal skills to eliminate this threat to Humanity forever. Screamed the Phobos Librarian.
We are holding them commanders.
Reporting all points. This invasion will not destroy us.
We keep fighting until the end of our lives. There must be a way. Said Krowhawk the Phobos Librarian over the helmet comms device to the entire army.
They shall know no fear. Shout the deployment force.
Their drop pods crashed into the ground.
The Tyrannids screamed at the invaders. Slittering around, consuming their erstwhile allies the genestealer cult.
Strategy:
Essentially using the drop pods as a straightforward way to capture objectives. And late deployed is the problem but making up the time by deploying deep and knocking the enemy out of the way or at least holding the territory or objective with drop pod itself. Deep in their territory ideally or as a back up to take back the home objective.
Secondly the assault terminators teleport in and deal with extremely large Tyrannid organisms or any large target. The Aggressors lay down heavy firestorms with the salamanders nature skill with flamer weaponry. Designed almost to take out the hordes of lesser organisms and survive against the odds. Long range fire support from the heavy intercessors which can take out most targets with sustained firepower. A counter charge from assault intercessors can be done and with the apothacary biologius saving them and their geneseed.
The commander is deployed like a queen in chess as and where needed throughout, using psychic powers to break vital engagements or tempt the enemy into tough strategic decisions.
