Its apparently being pushed back to Jan 2014.
OP, it sounds like you have quite a lot already haha! Youre in a similar position to me.
Maybe a Prime for the Warriors?
I like Raveners a lot too.
I bought a Barbed Heirodule for Apoc, and theyre very overpriced but also very fun to have on the field

Answer is simple. More Gargoyles. You only have 15. You should have at least 2 broods of 30.

carnifex/venomthrope and some genestealers would be my thought.
Mainly just because i don't ever take a brood of 1 personally.
And genestealers just so you can run ymgarl's and normal at the same time.
Obviously you have a solid amount of models to pull from so it doesnt matter to much.

Yeah, but he has 4 Trygons, and lets be honest, do you really need more of the same model with just a different head and a few less claws? That is one model no one I have played with has ever made the slightest complaint about using as counts as, even when I had both a mawloc and trygon on the board, since they had somewhat different heads and tails, it was obvious which as which.

I've met so many people who can't even tell the difference between a Trygon and a Mawloc.

Are raveners any good? Also I was thinking I might need biovores.
So far I am looking at getting the following:
15x Gargoyles
16x Genestealers
2x Carnifex
2x Venomthrope
3x Biovore
1x Barbed Hierodule
Once the new stuff is release I will be getting.
1x Prime
2x Harpie
2x Big Bug
1x Doom
and maybe a couple pods.

At the moment, Raveners are fragile, overpriced and lack the CC biomorphs they deserve to have. The model, however, is fantastic, definitely in my top 5.

More Termagants? 120 isn't that many 
If they change the rules for pods to work the same way as Marine drop pods everybody is going to want a ton of them. 
I'm wondering if the alternate model for the new pod works like a land raider, but with high T, moves 12" or more per turn, assault vehicle? That'd be awesome and fix so much for assault based nids.
Personally I'd save up and wait for the new codex.

The 120 you have are plenty. You aren;t gonna get max spawn very often and you will roll doubles aswell.
You can use the dead ones aswell as new ones.
Lictors suck... but they do look cool. Its also fun to use as a deadleaper sometimes.
