I'd separate the Zoanthropes to give you more warp charges and to increase their synapse coverage area.

The 10 warriors with Deathspitters could be replaced with something else. What models do you have available?

Yep, 2 extra dice, and a second source of Synapse. Also... Try to find a way to put Electro grubs on the Tervigons.

i am still building this list i have everything but the 10 warriors. my other idea was running an living artillery node. what do you suggest?

I concur on losing the Warriors. I love the Warrior models and I know it doesn't feel like a Tyranid list without them, but they're just Awful; they go down way too easily and rarely get close enough for the spitters to even matter. I also concur on the advice on the Zo's. I HIGHLY suggest fitting in a second Flyrant if at all possible; they are, by far, the best unit in the main codex.......

alright so i now have another flyrant and electroshock grubs on my tervigons i have 90 points left what should it go into?

The most effecient use of 90 pts I can think of is a Sporefield formation. 3 individual mucolids and 3 spore mine clusters that respawn on a 4+ and don't give up victory points when they die. Also, the whole formation has Infiltrate.
