It looks like you might be low on synapse, chances are 1 of your two hive tyrants goes down on turn 1, and defintaly on turn 2, so by turn 3 you will get problems. And the Neurothrope will probably be camping in the back with the hiveguard, so once 1 goes down your hormagaunts might start getting morale problems. Maybe switch one of the trygons for a trygon prime?

Edit: I play against Astra militarum quite often and they like to focus my flying hive tyrants with lots of deepstriking plasma and long range vehicles.

I'm thinking about switching that 5 hive guards with something else... 30 gargoyles? 10 raveners? 2 dakkafexes? 2 mawlocs? 6 biovores? Mmmm...

How come you have catalyst on all your psykers. You are only allowed to cast the same psycic power once per turn anyways so maybe change one of the catalysts for something else?

to many hormagants i would change 1 unit to stealers or 20 devil gaunts

i would change fleet tactics kraken to BEHEMOTH - Hyper-Aggression: Re-roll failed charges; gives you 8" charges 65.97% of the time and 9" charges 47.84% of the time. makes your alfa strike a lot better

hive guards are great dont change them you could change there guns to shock guns that way they can move with the army and they can soften up the tanks

you could upgrade 1 trygon to a prime to help out with synaps
