From experience of playing 600pts I would say you don't have that many models, but I have never played with warriors in a 500-1000pts battle so don't take what I say too seriously.
Also rippers may not be a great choice as they die pretty quickly in squad bases of three. Six might do better but gaunts might be a better option

You do have a serious lack of bodies. A Marine opponent with a Heavy Weapons squad could sit back and pick off your warriors one by one with Rockets and/or Lascannons.

You also really do have much that can do significant damage to vehicles in return. Yes, your genestealers can glance a vehicle to death, but they're also likely to get shot up going into the assault on the vehicle, and then being knocked around by the unit the vehicle was carrying.

One additional consideration is that you aren't taking advantage of our elite options. Best ranged anti-armor by far in the 'nid codex is Hive Guard. Squeeze at least one if you can.

All that said, if you like your army, if these are the models you have to work with, then you've got a great list. The best advice is the advice you give yourself after you play a game. Win or lose, you'll know more about Tyranids, about your list, your local opponents, and your play style after the games are done.

I really like to field 2 hive guard with the prime at this level. They are great for look out sir, give majoryity toughness, the lash whip ensures assaulting enemies get hit first and the overwatch is killer, and last but not least they kill the ever present rhino with ease.

I recently played a very casual 500 pts game where i took 2 broods of genestealers with a broodlord each expecting to lose horribly and playing the dreaded 'purge the alien' it was looking that way to start. And you know what? He could not kill either broodlord and failed to get a single point from me. I had next to noghing left but I tabled him besides a mangled rhino and scored 5-0. If you are taking genestealers it id worth taking less to field a broodlord. Also biomancy rocks.

Otherwise run a tervigon.
