I'd strongly suggest running less upgrades on the tyrant and stealers and using those points for some Broodlords and more Zoans.

This will give you a lot of flexibility with psychic powers.

The fex could also drop some of those upgrades.

Thanks for the help i do not have any Broodlords or any more Zoans.
the second list i am using against Necrons any advice on facing them?

[DarkGuard]

That unit of Gargoyles will get shot to pieces, it's too small. You need to beef it up or drop it.

Also, tl-devs will be a better choice on your Hive Tyrant, while your Tyranid Prime would benefit more from toxin sacs for re-rolls to wound and a bonesword variant for ignoring armour.

I'd also split the Genestealer squads into two units of 10, makes them more versatile and easier to infiltrate. Toxin sacs are also the better option than scything talons, they hit most things on 3s anyway, and toxin sacs will net them more rends through re-rolls to hit.

[dekion]

thanks for the advice. My genestealers are already in 2 units of 10. I was given my models assembled my tyrant does not have TL-Devs on him.(my group are sticklers) i will take the advice on the toxin sacs.

[DarkGuard]

Fair enough, didn't catch that about the Stealers at first. I'd suggest amending them and the Hormagaunt entry to make it clearer.
