Sorry, but this list is pretty bad. 3 warriors and a prime will never make it across the table into assault. You have WAY too many points sunk into those genestealers. Genestealers are bad in general, but they don't even synergise with the rest of your list, and they should absolutely NEVER be taken with adrenal glands and toxin sacs. You spent 260 points on a unit that couldn't even make it into assault if the only enemy unit on the board was a tactical squad with a flamer.

Flyrant looks good. But I don't like the equipment on the Prime if you want CC give him rending claws and toxin and put him with a Carnifex brood. If you're putting him with warriors you want deathspitters and you want a bigger brood.

I don't get why you've taken adrenal over toxin on the genestealers. +1 S on the charge vs reroll wounds all the time is a no brainer even with the point difference. Stealers have the same issue as last dex though. 20 point models that killed by boltguns on a 4+ means they'll likely never see combat.

Tervigon is poor now.

Heavy Support is the strength of this codex. Carnifexes in particular are pretty much win buttons now. This is a power house codex but you want lots of MCs running at the enemy.

Overall I kinda like it, but I would make a few changes myself. I've never liked using warriors ( I think I used a group of 9 of them once and they got necron death rayed and 5~6 of them died first turn they were on), and normal genestealers always seem to die on me.

HQ
Seems fine, maybe give the Tyrant, hive commander and outflank that big group of gants or the tervigon. Keeps em safe and they can strike at the heart of the enemy - or capture those objectives you placed near the sides
I really don't like the prime. And I really don't thing the ymgarl factor is worth the points you pay for it. I know synapse is hard to come by but you actually have alot in this list already.

Troops
Looks fine up until the stealers and the warriors. I like how you kept the warriors cheap (ish) but if they run up the board with your warlord, they are gunna die. Genestealers are nice if you can get them in, and get the broodlords power off aswell. Do they need the adrenal glands though? They already have fleet (which is the major bonus imo).

Overall consider taking venomthropes and hiding them as much as possible. They might make the warriors, stealers and all the little guys live that little bit longer!

Elites

Love zoans - maybe take together to avoid kill point issues. And like I said above consider venomthropes

Fast

Crones in twos might work. I'm not sure if I like this unit yet but I hope they work out for you.

Heavy

Looks great - make sure you dont loose them to deep strikers though! maybe stick a venom with them in cover for a 3+ at least!
