I am about half way to finishing my army (* indicates models I own). I would appreciate any C&C on my army.

EDIT: I am trying to focus my army around a deepstrike/outflank/infiltrate theme

HQ

1 Hive Tyrant with Venom cannon, bone sword and lashing whips, and hive commander*

2 Tyrant Guard with lashing whips.

Elite:

1 Venomthrope

2 Zoanthrops with spore pod

2 Zoanthrops with spore pod

Troops:

10 Genestealers with TS*

10 Genestealers with TS*

16 Hormaguants with TS and AG*

Heavy:

1 Trygon Prime with regeneration and AG*

The idea is this. The Hive Tyrant and Tyrant Guard come up the middle with the Venomthrope behind them (out of line of sight) are providing
cover. Genestealers and Hormaguants outflank and Zoanthrops deep strike to support the out flanking units (can’t assault the Zoanthrops without getting to genestealer range) Finally the Trygon Prime hits targets of opportunely or deep strikes where units need support.

Any recommendations?

Personally, I would swap out the zoan's for hive guard instead. Also I think only 1 tyrant guard is needed at this points level, finally 1 vermonthrope is not really worth it, would get taken out to easily,here is what I would do.

Remove:
1 Tyrant guard - 65 points
all of the zoans - 320 points
remove vermanthrope - 55

Add:
3x2 Hive Guard - 300 points
another 10 stealers - 140 points

This is just my opinion, i find overall that hive guard are much more suited for anti-tank than zoans, due to longer range and not having to rely on psychic ability

Thanks for the feedback. I should have included this in my first post but I am trying to focus my army around a deepstrike/outflank/infiltrate theme. So I am a little reluctant to add Hive Guard. I know they are a great model but for some reason I have never liked the way they looked. Any other recommendations other than Hive guard that would fit the theme of my army?

Raveners are under-rated, give a small squad of them rending claws and they become tougher, faster, deepstriking genestealers.

I agree with the post above, hive guard are more reliable but if you want a themed list you pay the price for fun, happy days!

I wouldnt bother with a venomthrope either, you'd only be protecting meatshields. nothing should really be coming in via standard deployment and so nothing vital should need protecting.

Raveners aren't underrated at all. You lose like 3 models per turn from the all-present S8 spam, even with 4+ cover. Any surviving models rush forward and pop a 35pt Rhino before finally dying when the unit inside lit them up. That's the way it usually goes.
Of course you can have games like I had the other week, when 6 Raveners popped two Psynoughts. But that involved some serious luck.
