Need help with a 500P list

[murphplays]

So I'm trying to learn how to make a good list with the small amount of models I have. I'm looking to get some more in the next few weeks however my friends wanna play a few small 500P games over the next few days.
The models I have are:

• 1x The Swarm Lord
  
• 8x Genestealers
  
• 1x Broodlord
• 12x Termagants
• 1x Mawloc/Trygon

One of my friends plays Tau, another plays Salamanders and the other plays Death Guard.
I'm hopefully getting an Exocrine soon but with the current models I have I'm needing to get a decent 500P list if possible.

Hope someone can help. 

Also any strategies I can use would be helpful.

500p is a weird place for lists. With what you have I’d probably do kraken patrol (for fallback and charge) with swarmlord w catalyst, psychic scream, 5 stealers, trygon prime with adrenal glands, toxin sacs, murderous size, xenogenic acid.

Deploy behind obscuring, hive commander the trygon for 18” move and charge with +1 into something tasty. Fight twice when still top bracket. Next turn do the same with swarmlord and whittle down enemy with mortal wounds and stay alive with 3/4++/5+++.

Genestealers can go after weak objective holders like cultists or poxwalkers (don’t expect to win vs 5 intercessors though). Usually mission isnt as important in these small games since you can usually table opponent in 3 turns or so.

Thanks I'll make a list with this when I'm next playing with them. I'll let you know how it does. Who would you recommend I put catalyst on when in my psychic phase?

Swarmlord if he is at all targetable, otherwise trygon. Sometimes using smite+ psychic scream is better than catalyst. Since you only have 1 psyker always use smite (potential D6 mortals) then decide if catalyst or psychic scream is best (or use stratagem for 3rd cast). Though, if you plan on casting catalyst on swarmlord use it first in case you suffer perils on your second cast.
