GMort,
Have you given up on your Tyranids as I noticed you haven't mentioned them for a while and judging from your Battle Honours' sidebar haven't played them for a while either. Just out of interest how did the list end up before you wimped out and went back to Marines and are they really that bad now?

Were there really another 384 guys who picked the internet name Hivemind before you did, lol?
Anyway...Tyranids had issues right from the start and now have serious shortcomings against many of the current codices. Space Wolves can 'Missile Spam' and/or 'Jaws of the World Wolf' their MC's to death, Grey Knights pretty much all have Force Weapons of one kind or another and Dark Eldar poison doesn't give a shit if your T5, 6 or fucking 10.....
As I'm what is usually referred to as a 'competitive' gamer I have issues with sticking with an army that I know is basically the same as taking a knife to a gun fight when the knife isn't even that sharp. Daemons have the same issues unfortunately...
For what it's worth, my final list was this,
