I know tyranids aren't the most competitive out there at the moment but i love their lore and everything about then so i want to make a list.

HQ
Tyranid Prime (swords, scything)

Elite
Doom (Spore)
Zoanthrope (2 units, spore)
Hive Guard (3 units)

Troop
Hormagaunt (30 units, Toxin)
Termigaunt (15 units)
Termigaunt (15 units)
Tervigon (Mastery 2, Toxic, adrenal)
Tervigon (Mastery 2, Toxic, adrenal)

Fast
Gargoyle (20 units)
Shrike (3 units)

Heavy
Biovore (2 units)
Biovore (2 units)
Trygon (Toxic, adrenal)

any opinions/ideas on this list?

Biovores are great, just make absolutely certain they stay in synapse. I would drop the adrenals on the Trygon and take regen on the Prime instead.

I find Shrikes to be too frail, even bolters ignore their armour. If they were half the points cost, then we could be in business.

You could drop the Shrikes and take another Prime, or increase your Biovore squad sizes (always worth it). Or, take more troops.

Another think to remember is that the only ML2 psyker in the codex is the Swarmlord. Tervies can take 2-3 powers but remain level 1. Hope this helped!

Lone trygons should be a prime imo (synapse and better shooting) not got dex to hand but this doesn't seem like 2k considering you see similar lists (doom zoans tervigons etc) lead by a 260 point plus flyrant, this list just seems thin

The hormagaunts and Shrikes are sucking back points quickly, is all.
