A good starting point, what do you plan to do with this list?

My opinion is that you drop some of the termagants to make more room for hormagaunts, they are better in combat than termagants without tervigon support. another reason for this is that the tervigon can spawn more termagants though this is subject to reliability. Can't really go wrong with hive guard, they can dish out some damage. Zoanthropes are tricky, some games they will perform bad, others they could be your Brood of the fight. don't give up on them just because one game with them goes bad.

overall good list, my final point is to try the genestealers without toxin sacs with more bodies, due to the new overwatch rules this could be useful.

Good luck
