seeking opinions on a pretty "taste of the codex" small army for fun/quick games. I managed to pick up some tyranids for basically free and have the models for the following list at 500 points.

Flying hive tyrant-twin link devour/brainleach wormsx2 and electroshock grubs
3 warriors- two with deathspitters and one with stranglethorn cannon
10 termagants with fleshborer
10 hormagants
10 gargoyles

It feels pretty thematic(just needs a carnifex) and has something for each phase of the game. I know it's not some optimal build but I am open to suggestions. I have the parts to build genestealers, more termagants, more hormagants, warriors, and hive Guard.

this seems like a quality list, just know the flyrant you described may be hated by some, as it is incredibly powerful. I only state this because you said "fun"

This.
A typical 500pts casual list will never be able to take down a flyrant, and really can't afford to ignore it.
So make sure you have the same definition of fun as your opponent, otherwise the fun will be very one sided.
