So I was wondering what a Tryanid list might look like if I focused on melee, and specifically Dimachaerons. In making the list, I quickly realized there wouldn't be much room for synapse and that I would need a Pod for each Dimachaeron. So I went from there and created this monstrosity.

Fun? Yes...Good...umm..Maybe? It will be very dependant on the will of the dice gawds. A combo of tarpit and focus fire will tear you up. But in "normal" games (say 50% competitive ish) it should be fun...
The soonest the bulk of your forces can do anything will be Turn 3. Swarmlord is not worth it, you could get a super melee flyrant for the points thats mobile and more flexible.
