This is mostly a list to try out some new units, do I have enough synapse?

Swarmlord
3x Tyrant Guard

Hive Tyrant: Wings, 2x TL-Devourers

6x Raveners: 6x devourers
6x Raveners: 6x devourers

30x Termagaunts
30x Termagaunts

3x Zoanthrope: 1x Neurothrope
1x venomthrope

1x Carnifex: 2x TL-Devourers
1x Carnifex: 2x TL-Devourers

Well if I was playing this I would 100% snipe out the hive tyrants and ignore the other stuff until the last turn. If you lost one there would be some massive synapse holes.
Its worth a shot the synaptic lynchpin does give you 18" range.

If only the red terror had synapse.. youd be fine.

I think you are alright. Swarmy is going to be tough to kill with those tyrant guard around and the zoans have the bodies to survive some punishment too. Your flyrant can cover a lot of ground to grant synapse if you are that worried about. I actually run less synapse than you do and i have only had my synapse get killed off once i have already basically lost the game. Protect your units from silly things like big melee deathstars with invulns or invisibility and they should survive long enough to provide the synapse coverage you need.

Well...I only see 3 sources, so to my eye, no. I'd suggest adding some thing more, I'd like to see 5 , but 4 is likely enough, depending on your local "meta".

It depends on what models you have, a Brood of Warriors, with a Strangle Cannon is pretty cheap (100 pts), or if you scape some points up, you can drop one x30 Brood of Termagants, and add a Tervigon.

Because you are using Raveners, I'd suggest a small Brood of Shrikes. Just real careful to keep them hid. Just trim off say one Ravener from each brood, and make the rest up from Termagants.

If your local meta proves to be Synapse unfriendly, you'll need to plan on losing one source per turn...so you'll want 6 or 7 sources available....5 will be a "minimum"....
