Please comment and let me know what you think should be changed.
If it helps, my strategy is to keep the Tyrant, Termagants, and Biovores together, infiltrate with the Genestealers, and keep the rest in reserve. Then, when i get the Lictors/Deathleaper out of reserve, I place them behind the enemy, close but far enough away to survive. On turn 3, with the Hive Commander ability and the Lictors' Pheremone Trail, all of the reserves come onto the board automatically, and I can place all of them right next to either the Lictors or the Deathleaper, effectively putting the majority of my army right behind the enemy's. This is why so many of my units can deepstrike.
Anyway, let me know what you think!

Tell you what. I have been itching to play some 40k and would be happy to meet and have a tyranid vs. tyranid 'Ard Boyz battle. We can comment on each others lists as we play.

I can meet at eastside after work most evenings or at yottaquest after I get home. Would you like to plan on playing at 6 o'clock at eastside on Tue 20th?

Let me know.

not a big fan or fexs in the new dex but other wise the list looks solid love the Zoanthropes worth every point.

personally i would go with a mawloc or trygon instead of the fexs think the fexs are a waste of points in my opinion

Yeah, i know what you mean. The new edition killed the carnifexs

Looks like you have a brood of warriors with talons and claws. You can't mix and match half and half or was that a typo?
Also drop the larve off the tyrant as well as venom cannon, It's just not worth it from what I've seen, and your psychic powers count as shooting a weapon anyway from what I understand, I'd just give him wings, commander, whip n sword and talons.
Also I don't know if you need to spore the warriors either, I'd invest the spore points in a tervigon or just a nice large gaunt screen, When you put warriors in cover you can go to ground for a 3+ invuln which gives a big suck on that to str 8+ weapons.
