Hi Guys, this is going to be my first list for a Tyranid Army, I was hoping that I could get some advice on it.
Also, It is actually 1504 and I was hoping to take it to a friendly local tournament but I need to cut down the extra 4 points.
Anyways, here it is!

HQ
Swarmlord
2 x Tyrant Guard w/ Lash Whips

Elite
2 x Hive Guard

Troops
Genestealer Brood (8) - 1 Broodlord w/ sything talons
- 7 Genestealers w/Toxin Sacs

2 x Termagaunt Squad (20)

2 x Tervigon w/ Toxin Sacs and Catalyst

Heavy Support
1 x Trygon Prime

Any comments/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Give The Tervigon AG too, remember your spawned gants get both TS and AG as they spawn then.

As for the swarmlord, try to hide his guards in such a way that they are in cover, since they are in the same squad, the Lord get cover.

Just a warning though, 2 Hive guards on 1.5k points is a bit too little considering how much armor orks and IG can put into that, so putting in 2 more hive guards might be a idea?

Ideally, I'd like to have 4 Hive guards in my army list, however with the points constraint I'm not sure what to take out in order to field them.
The only reason why I didn't have AG on my Tervi's was due to the points constraint.

Any suggestions on how to reduce points to fit in the extra Hive Guard and Biomorphs?

hmmm, Maybe cut the broodlord, unprime the trygon ( you only get extra synapse on that ) make the Swarmlord a Hive tyrant, cut down the Gant size. and in a worst case maybe even cut the toxic on the genestealers ?

Those are the only areas i can see that you can cut points without a major change in playstyle, not that you should cut all of these, but there is a few point here and there, you need like 20 points for the TS and 100 points for the Hive guards, so i think you can cut down the starting gaunt size, the broodlord, unprime and then you should have close to 120 points.

I am not a master tyranid myself, but i think you should rely more on the spawned gants than having a full 20 squads and get the bio morphs you need and the needed anti-tank

The thing with Tervigons is that you will be almost unstoppable in sieze ground but in kill point it'll come down to you push the enemy off the board in order to win, you must remember that. First thing I would change is take the Swarmlord down to a Tyrant with a Stranglethorn Cannon, the Swarmlord shines for an army based around outflank. I'd take the Lashwhips off the Tyrant Guard, T guard rarely make it into CC they provide cover saves and extra wounds to the Tyrant. I'd use that savings to bring another brood of 2 Hive Guard. I'd drop the Bloodlord for 2-3 more stealer with the toxin sacs. Your Tervigons are good. I'd take out the Trygon Prime and replace with either an basic Tyrannofex or a Mawloc, the Tfex can rain fire and brimestone on infantry and the Mawloc deals S 6 ap 2 blasts. (bye bye Terminators)
