if you already got that many gaunts bump em up to 30 and get a troop tervigon. spawning gaunts with objective secured is awesome.

as a general rule i would only field 1/3 of the gaunts with devourers
place the devs in the back of the unit, so the normal gaunts will die first.

if u're allowed to field forge world units (tyranids really need that stuff) i wozuld check out the malenthrope... its essentially a buffed version of the venomthropes with the benefit of beeing a synapse creature

my suggestion:

flytyrant, TL devs
flytyrant, TL devs

malanthrope
(or 2x venoms)

30 gaunts, 10 devs
14 gaunts, 4 devs (or 13 gaunts if venoms are taken)
tervigon, Cclaws, elektrogrubs

IIRC Spawned gaunts do not have OS.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

The spawned Termagaunts when taken into a combined arms detachment are objective secure, this looks like a leviathan list though (seeing the 3 HQ) so would not have OS.

I would also encourage a Malanthrope over a venomthrope (if you are allowed Forge world) as they are leagues appart better.

also a walking Tyrant isnt worthwhile since slapping some wings on him turn a very mediocre Tyrant into an excedingly powerfull Flyrant which is the best unit in the codex by far.

I would also encourage the troop choice Tervigon, I like giving him the cluster spines and the electroshoc grub.
