Okay so after long considerations I changed my army list to a CC-genestealer army. Ninja-ish.
And guess what? I am only missing a box of genestealers to have the 1750 point army complete! And
HQ: Hive Tyrant with Lash Whip & Bonesword, Devourers, Old Adversary, maybe Hive Commander, Armored Shell and Regeneration.
Troops: 8-9 Genestealers with Toxin Sacs
Troops: 8-9 Genestealers with Toxin Sacs
Troops: 9 Genestealers with/without a Broodlord (all with Toxin Sacs)
Troops: 9 Ripper Swarms with Tunnel Swarm, Toxin Sacs and Spinefists
Elite: 3 Venomthropes
Elite: 3 Lictors
Elite: 6 Ymgarl Genestealers
Heavy Support: Trygon Prime with Regeneration
I might upgrade the Army by putting in ~250 points worth of Warrior with Lash Whips, Boneswords, Scything Talons and Toxin Sacs and have them outflank.
I also started a Space Marine Mech-Army (many many conversions, as always): http://kriegmech.blogspot.com/

A few notes on Army Design...
Okay so since I am not going to play on tournaments (for now), I want to do a fun-army. BUT I still want to use the full potential of Tyranids.
So two things that I want are:
1) Shrikes with Boneswords and Toxinsacs (wound on 4+, if wounded take a LD-test on 3D6, if fail-> instant death)
2) Hive Tyrant with a Bonesword & Lash Whip and Acid Blood (for every unsaved wound caused on the Tyrant, the attacking unit must take an initiative test-especially with small units, which are all in base contact with the Tyrant this means failing the test on 2+, for big units they can use their normal Initiative, but still 2D6 with an average initiative of lets say 6 is still pretty hard. Anyway-they have to take Leadership test and if they fail-> instant death).
I'd also like to have a Tervigon to give the Tyrant Catalyst so it survives this whole thing. I also want the Tyrant to have "Hive Commander" so the Tervigon can outflank (as long as I take at least 10 Termagants). Old Adversary would also be pretty neat, especcially if the Shrikes would be close to the Tyrant. Since the whole army deepstrikes/outflanks the Tyrant would need wings as well-all this makes him pretty expensive though and even though he is not worth it, i will play him.
3) I will take a Deathleaper, a Doom of Malantai and 2 Lictors as Elites (I know-Zoanthropes and/or Hive Guards are a Must-Have for "good" armies, but I am only playing fun games. I need the lictors/deathleaper keep my deep-striking units from scattering...)
4) I will take a Trygon Prime and Gargoyles since they are pretty good value.
5) I would love to take a few units of 4 Genestealers + 1 Broodlord to get big effects off leadership tests (aura of despair), but this all just gets too expensive.
6) at first I didnt want to go with the Tyrant, but have a Parasite of Mortrex instead, which would be in a unit with the Shrikes to make it difficult for the opponent to either have more Ripper swarms to fight or face more possibly-instant-death-wounds. I might strip some units and still play the Parasite, since I really like it.
