This list is kind of a hybrid between Godzilla Tyranids and Swarm Tyranids. The goal is to use the hormagaunts to get a quick assault on the enemy and back them up with a decent amount of firepower.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

I'd personally choose TL-Devourers on the Tyrant over a second VC. The beastie gets 3 shots with the VC at 3+ to hit already. Adding a TL-Devourer gives it much more firepower IMHO.

I also choose TL-Devourers on my Warriors, that really helps their poor shooting skills.
