What points limit are you going for? at 1500 you can easily put down another 2 hive guard and have a pretty solid list, but you are lacking in the objective area, so I don't know if you want to drop prime on your trygon and get a basic tervigon

TBH warriors are pretty meh, but if they work for you, go for it, I am just a bit concerned if you only have 5 warriors, a hive guard and a hive tyrant fielded turn one.

to sum it up for 1500 my advice is

+2 hive guard

or

drop prime and get a tervigon

Yeah the only sad part is that I need to custum convert the tervigon but other than that I think the Hive guards are better because they work better in groups.

Also, read the rules. Post point totals, not points per upgrade.

Has your Tyrant lived through all 4 of your games? Your Synapse web consists of him, your Trygon, and your Warriors - not bad, but with the ease of killing Warriors, and a walking Tyrant without Guard, it might get tough.

Add tyrant guard to the hive tyrant. Increase hive guard numbers possibly to 2 broods of 2. Run 1 ymgarl and the other models as normal stealers.

Weapons on spore not really worth it as only BS2. Regen on trygon is very expensive.

Swap all the Ymgarls into normal 'stealers to grab objectives and make the most of Hive Commander with Outlflank

Drop the Trygon's regen and HT's armoured shell, and get more Hive Guard and/or Tyrant Guard for wound allocation defense.

Ok ill half to buy the tyrand guards and hive guard but other than that,
Has your Tyrant lived through all 4 of your games?
Yes he has.
Swap all the Ymgarls into normal 'stealers to grab objectives
I Have noticed in the past that my enemys are always scared of my stelers so it made them ymgarls so they could not shoot them till the last minute.

Playing another battle soon will post the outcome.
