40K Army: Tyranids

Hi Folks

Its been around 9 years since I last played 40k and ie been giving thoughts to giving it another go, at the time I had Tyranids so I've gone and got myself the codex and been looking through army list ideas. I liked the idea of a cc only force but thats doesn't look like it will be too viable, to that end i've made a "mostly" cc army with some shooty support that I think may be some fun. Any thoughts would be appreciated

The Parasite of Mortrex 160

3 Hive Guard 150

2 Hive Guard 100

1 Zoanthrope 60

20 Hormagaunts 160
Toxin Sacs

20 Hormagaunts 160
Toxin Sacs

20 Hormagaunts 160

5 Warriors 175

4 Shrikes 200
Scyth Talons, Bonesword+Whip

Harpy 170

23 Gargoyles 161

Mawloc 170

*Parasite, Harpy, shrikes and gargoyles all set up on 1 side of the board together.
*The Mawlocs burrow on turn 1 with the idea of emerging in turn 2 under some tasty enemy models ( on the same board side the parasite group are on )
* The parasite group then move down towards area the Mawlocs are in.
*the Hive Guard + single Zoanthrope move staying behind cover to try to get within the Guards 24"range, the Zoan is there for synapse mainly
*All being well the 3 units of Gaunts and warriors run down the board while everything is hopefully shooting at the mawlocs / Gargoyles

Thats the idea behind it anyway ?

Im not fond of tyrants / swarmlords and I'm not overly certain a Tervigon would fit in with the list, the parasite aswell does give the possibility of ripper swarms, though I am still looking at the Primes.

Things i am tempted to change
*drop the Hive Guard and increase the amount of zoanthropes accordingly
*drop the harpy to take a 3rd mawloc
*do the above 2 things but also drop the warriors, take another squad of gaunts and give all gaunts and zoanthropes mycetic spores, plus with spare point take a small aquad of shrikes ?
*drop hermagaunts, and replace with spinefist termagants in mycetic spores

Maybe

I heard that Mawloc isn't that great I haven't played with her myself but a lot of people don't like them.
