I would advise you to do the following:

1: Replace the broodlord and genestealer retuine with 2 cheaper tyrants, one with wings. The winged tyant will accompany the faster elements while the other tyrant supports the foot sloggers.

2: Make cheaper generestealers than those in your troops section or else go with scuttlers/carpace stealers, they work more efficiently in my experience.

3: Change the biovores for another carnifex. Barbed stranglers are more useful overall, even against marines because the biovores have been toned down alot. also in a game of this size you'll want two to ensure that one makes it. Between the 'throapes, warriors and carnifexes you'll have enough firepower and more combat damage with the second fex.

Looks alright but I'm sad that you have fallen for the GW trap with your warriors, you can kit them out to be boss in HtH you know

try the biovore before swapping, you never know he might do some good (proxie him in about 3 games, just to see )
