I really like it.

Only things are, the warriors are not a troops choice so you'll have to sort that out.

Apart from that seems really good to me, will be nicwe and competitive. I would probably swap out one of the units of warriors for a couple of synapsing zoanthropes though, they have more survivability in my opinion.

I'm not a Tyranid expert but thought I'd throw some advice your way

Get rid of the spine banks on the snipe fexes. They'll never be in close combat, and they will never be in range to use the spinefist.
Flesh hooks are an ok upgrade if you use a lot of impassable terrain.
Either get more genstealers or drop them. One unit of 8 will die pretty fast.
Warriors are not that great, but if you do take them, keep them cheap. Just RC and ST, maybe Ext. Carapace.

thanks for the replies ya I realized I made that mistake on the Warriors I added them lastm minute in need of Synapse range. Perhaps ill add some zoanthropes instead of one of the troops of warriors, you're probably right about the spine banks on the sniper fexes.

I like the new list.

One thing though, change the Flesh hooks on the dakkafex's to Enhanced sences
