So this tournament I have coming up has a few point and rule restrictions. I want to play my Tyranids for it but need to make sure I'm within the rules for this thing. Before the list, here's a run down of the rules:

HQ cannot exceed 200 points, attachments units (Tyrant Guard) do not count towards that total.
No other unit can exceed 300 points.
You are only allowed 1 flyer/list and you cannot have duplicates of the same monsterous creature unless it is within its own unit (ie. Carnifexes).

HQ:
Hive Tyrant (HVC, Bone Swords) 200
Tyrant Guard x2 100

Troops:
Warrior Brood (4 Warriors, one with a Barbed Strangler) 130
Termagaunt Brood (15 gaunts, 10 Fleshborers, 5 Devs) 80

Elite:
Venomthrope Brood 45
Zoanthrope Brood (2 Zoans) 100

Fast Attack:
Hive Crone 155

Heavy Support:
Tyrannofex (Electroshock Grubs, Fleshborer Hive) 190

Total: 1000 Points

Basically, I'm going to march up the field, using the Crone to harass early game combined with HVC and BS on the Warriors. I can use the Tyrranofex's large size and 2+ Armor to shield my gaunts and Venomthrope coming up the field as well. Thoughts? Changes I could make?

With the restrictions put on you, this is a nice list. My only suggestion would be to drop the devs on the terms and just get more bodies on the field.
With the amount of synapse you have at this point level, I would probably also drop the warriors. That would allow you to have up to 70 gaunts on the table. That would definitely help you tyrant and tyrannofex survive longer, along with letting you have troops to take objectives late game.

Not much to add...I'd drop the Devilgaunts, and the extra Warrior, and buy more Gants... Losing the Warrioirs is also a choice.
