Cheers.

3 warriors is too small a brood.

I'd drop them, go 2*2 hive guard in elites.

With such an expensive HQ I would trim the broodlords out, so you can run 2 decent sized stealer units and possibly 2 hormogaunt units. I think you do need 4 troop choices.

Quickly, Tyrant only needs one Guard as easier to get cover with. I like taking the 2+ armour so the Tyrant can asborb the missile shots etc.

Don't need Broodlords as the points the Broodlord is means more 'Stealers with more damage out put.

Trygons come in pairs for target priority reasons and saturation.

Not much point in Warriors, they will die quickly and you will lose synapse.

Lastly you need more anti tank. The limited Hive Guard will not be another against heavy mech builds.
