Does this look right?
(I'm new to this )
Thanks

Not bad, but for starters you should make both Tervigons troops, I see you're looking for casual gaming but they're waaaaay more fun when they sit on objectives and poop out guys to go get more objectives like "come get me!" you've already got the Gants in there so may as well have scoring monsters!

The other thing that I'd suggest would be to free up points to give both tervigons +2 psychic powers, you want to be rolling 3 dice on the biomancy table to boost themselves and other units.

The Tyrant on his own will get smacked right away, he needs either Tyrant Guard or wings. I'd also go full shooting or full assault with him, either 2x TL devourers or swap them for scything talons.

I'd drop the Warriors, they're just weak unless you beef them up to 6+ models and put them in a mysetic spore.

I agree that you should drop the warriors. They are a troop choice now btw. If you drop the Warriors, you will have enough points for more upgrades.

If you put the Tyrant on the ground, give it Armored Shell for the 2+ so it can survive krak missile spam. A guard is also a nice option in addition to the shell to take the occasional Lascannon/rending hit.

Use the extra points for more psychic powers and upgrades on the Tervigons and maybe some more Genestealers.

You must have a unit of Termagents to make a Tervigon troops...

I do

You need a group of termagaunts for each troop choice tervigon. Other than that, I like it.

Yeah but considering you're not taking a broodlord, Ymgarl stealer's are waiting for you, dormant on the battlefield!

You need a brood of Termagaunts per Tervigon to make the Tervigon a troops choice. So, you would need to split up those Termagaunts into 2 different groups and then swap those Genestealers for 1 or 2 groups Ymagarls-allowing you to keep the Genestealers and keep your troops choices legal. Also what else did you get on the Tyrant? Even with the Tyrant Guard it should only be 260 points (unless I missed something blatantly obvious then I apologize).

for the tyrant it was 195 points base + 60 for guard + 30 for 2 twin linked deathspitters ( 15 each ) Please correct me if i am wromg

and im new to this what is this about Ymagarls ?

Try this... It balances out your list, makes your Tyrant more survivable and brings a nasty surprise with your Genestealers. This will be fun and competitive in friendly games. To take it to 2000 then add units of Ymgarls and broods of Gargoyles to screen your Hormagaunts.

Cool,thanks.
i think i will use this, it seems a bit better than mine. for some reason i diddnt want to lower the amount ot termagants i had even though i could spawm more.

just a quick question do termagant spawned from a tervigon join the tervigons brood or are they a new brood of their own
thanks

Every group you spawn becomes it's own Brood.
