INF is Infantry (so targets for AP shots).
AV is Armoured Vehicle (shoot them with AT).
LV counts as both for being shot at (can be hit by both AP and AT).
WE is War Engines, which count as AV for being shot at (so AT).

As an aside, if some rule is pushing people to gamey armies, and making forces less interesting with some units not worth while, shouldn't that be addressed?
Note that the EpicUK Nid list (and to a lesser extent the main NetEA Nid list) has some serious internal balance issues between the main formation types, to the extent that the lists that have done well in EpicUK tournaments are almost carbon-copies - a big bunch of Assault Swarms, some Genestealers and some Harridans, then you get a small amount of variation in Trygons or Hive Nests or Dominatrix.
As it sounds like you're planning on casual games rather than EpicUK tournaments, I suggest having a look at the FERC 2018 list at the bottom of this post:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=32946That's the Tyranid list used by the French Epic community, and it has better internal balance and huge flexibility in what kind of list you want to do - it's much more suitable for making a usable list out of the models you want to use, rather than picking models that will work well in a list. That said, the army-level rules are more complex.
