This list moves forward to objectives. It have a lot of midrange shooting with 96 str 6 shoots right from the start. Followed with 36+2d6str 5 -1ap shots from raveners and warriors.
Clearing screens should not be a issue. What to take a warlord trait I am not sure about yet or who to put it on. The Hive Fleet Warlord trait would be good on the prime or Malanthropes. Would it be better to have Deathspitters on the Tyrants?
Please I am looking for a criticism on the list was to tweek it. I have a Tournament this weekend I would love to drop this list on.

No Exocrines or Tyranofex's kind of sucks. You're not far off of a brigade which would be nice to have. 12 CP is nothing to sneeze at. Especially if you make lictors your elites you can keep refunding with their stratagem. The have fleet ability is nice but doesn't do anything against ignores cover.
i would make a whole spearhead det. just with carnifex, double devourer enhanced senses and spore cysts, 6 of them R7 ta2+ and -1 to be hit on their own is huge
for the battalion i would use kraken to get the chamaleonic mutation trait for winged HT and for genestealers advancing faster (and get the chance to fall back and charge again).

Interesting list! Jormongandr tanking Dakkafexen should be a nice "wall o'Dakka"(tm)( ) I think you'd be happier if you have sporecysts though (-1 hit) they don't stack but it gives you more flexability.
You can put the Warriors and the Prime in the same Tunnel (costs CP) and Trygon in the Stealers... I suppose the second Trygon is for the Termagants? I guess if you had too, you can trim the unit, or lose the Trygon... Points are so tight, that you might not be able to add the cysts though...worth trying to see though.
Dakkafex are nice but remember they don't do much againgst 2+ saves or even T7 3+ saves. You have to take something with -2 or better armor to dent the tough stuff or biovores and smiters to hand out mortal wounds.
Shooting nids can definately put out a lot of firepower, but without some armor shredding melee to take out key units they will cave.
I love the new Nid book since it made almost every unit in our army viable, and to be truly successful we need to utilize a bit of everything.
The only nid spam we can be successful with is gaunts with tervigons, genestealers with broodlords, or mortal wound spam.
If your not spamming those three things you need to take a bit of everything and know where to send it at the right moment.

Good luck! And good hunting!
Thanks for your thoughts on the list.
I like the idea of giving the -1 to the fex's native, makes felxable as you said.
I like the mal as it allows me to have that -1 on the warriors if I don't use them in a trygon or for the tyrants first turn if i don't go first.
