That is my list, I didnt want to worry about synapse so I came up with an army that had range IE the Carnies, some speed with firepower Winged Dev Tyrant, and some movement from my troops the Genestealers with scuttlers, the Raveners are there to cause havoc just for s&g's, tell me what ya think, thanks for looking and taking the time to respond... if you do!

Hi, everything looks kitted out correctly, however I have a couple suggestions. While you've bought the correct upgrades for the stealers, I find that squads of 9 are just too big considering how easy it is to kill genestealers with shooting, you just end up giving up more points to your opponent, 9 can also just be too big to effectively use cover to keep the squad hidden. I've found that squads of 8 hit hard enough while allowing you to keep them hidden and give up less victory points to your opponent when the usually get shot to hell. I would also drop both of the raveners as they are too expensive and too easy to kill, I would drop one stealer from each squad and both of the raveners and buy a carnifex with two t-l devourers and ES, (dakkafex) and use the remaining points to buy reinforced chitin for your heavy support because it will make your carnifexes harder to kill. Looks like you've got all the basics down so good job on your first tyranids list.
