I've been doing well against space wolfs and deathguard so far and gotta say it feels disgusting hahah. Secondaries are so easy now and deleting enemy units off objectives just makes winning with tyranids suddenly so easy. 

I haven't been able to test gargoyles and tyrant guards yet with the new update but they look very promising. I had a feeling tyrant guard should be able to fill a role much needed in my list. Now that l've seen Stormcoil's succes with his, l can't wait to field them. If l'm not feeling it with the tyrant guards l'll probably replace them with stealers or more devgants. I feel like stealers could play a biig mental factor during the deployment, especially with the redeploy WLT. Althought hahah, that's probably not what you want cus you want everything in hive guard range and scare the enemy deep into their endzone. IDK, do I?

I tried fitting in a hive tyrant to maximize the utility of the tyrant guards but you really need the bloodlord link to keep the warriors alive and boy does it help. The Hive tyrant also eats up another 2cp for the relic as l believe barb and the cp regen are mandatory. But then again, the same can be said of the kronos patrol. I tried fitting in a 3rd warrior unit so l didnt need to put the link on my mid board aggressors but l felt like 2 units of gargoyles would annoy my oponent much more. 

Not feeling the mono leviathan yet, although one good reason would be to get your 3rd HQ resonance barb and give him onslaught because landing onslaughts are usually the scariest rolls during my games. I'd almost bring 5 zoanthropes just to get the onslaught off. Which could also bring value and even function as a replacement for the tyrant guard. Guess they're up for a test. 

I'll be trying this list this weekend if nobody can convince me to replace anything. What do you guys think?

Tyrant Guard? In a competitive list?
Switch them for two units of stealers

TG needs reroll all hits + Maleceptor buff for it to wreak havoc. If you can't give both, it gets a little bit lacklustre for a 300pt unit.

Still good for tank, but if for damage, you can get a good results for cheaper. You should consider only if you need a really durable damage dealer.

Zoans I personally like the concept.
