Some solid stuff in there for sure. The tyrant guard are mandatory if bringing a tyrant. they're just not as survivable as they used to be weirdly enough (even with +2 toughness), but I see you also have a Neurotyrant as well, so I guess that one will need to go with the guard as they're even less durable than the hive tyrant!
I'd consider dropping 3 warriors to bring some enhancements. They're very, very good for nids. Adaptive biology is stellar, especially if your tyrant is having to run solo. That 5+ FNP going to 4+ after losing a wound is an absolute must. The redeploy enhancement is also quite good.
Thus far everything I've run with nids has been fun (still have a few things to test out) but the weird thing is how less of a threat they are in melee now. It's taken a bit for me to realize that a melee-bug just doesn't kill five marines easily now.

Decreased the number of carnifexes and played around a bit more with it. Winged prime and some enhancements added.

Looks fun! who's getting which enhancement? Neurotyrant is getting perfectly adapted and Hive Tyrant is getting adaptive biology. Planning on having him go solo as you mentioned... Hoping to be able to play with this soonish but I think the weekend is going to be a build party at our house imo

Might bring this to the tourney later this month. Hopefully will have most of the new ones painted...
Also I was really skeptical of neurogaunts at first, but after putting them together they are very cute and I love them.

Barbgaunts seem really under priced with the 50 points there.

too bad how expensive this list would be, because it would look incredibly cool on the table.
I'd drop the two hormagant units for single lictors that can lone operative on backfield objectives while the giant monsters rush forward
plus they'd match with deathleaper!

Kinda playing around with it being a bigs and smalls list, working on a variation where everything that isn't a Norn is a ripper swarm or a PoM. This is just for science
