Great to see a new player! Welcome.
To start out, I would really recommend buying the Tyranid Codex and doing some reading on tyranids online. Jack Shrapnel (AKA Shannon) will also be able to give you some very good advice about starting out with Tyranids.
I would recommend you start out looking to build a 1000 point army, as this is a good value to learn the rules, and won't require a hefty investment.
I would also highly recommend you look very closely at the Tervigon, as it's very core to the way a Tyranid army functions, supporting your swarms, providing synapse and casting psychic powers, as well as being a very powerful combat monster. It can also be a HQ or Troops choice (which you must bring to have a legal list) and can be very tough for your opponents to deal with.
Good luck starting out, we have lots of players who can answer questions and help guide you in your quest to consume the galaxy!
