Feeder Tendrils on the Genestealer retinue is unnecessary; the Broodlord's Tendrils will extend to the entire unit.

Aside from that, it look pretty damn solid. ;D

Second, Droids_Rule. On top of that ...

Zoanthropes count as a kill point each. Until they fix that with the codex coming up (if they fix it), I recommend dropping down to one Zoanthrope with synapse only and taking an Elite slot melee Carnifex. They have a similar effective range for AT: 12" move-assault versus 18" focused warp blast. The Carnifex will always be more reliable.

Also if you're outflanking with your 'stealers, a player will most likely place their flank units in area terrain to deprive you of our precious I6 in assault--one of the things that makes 'stealers so effective. Try and drop some upgrades or something to take flesh hooks on your troop 'stealers.

 Oh very cool, i did not know that about the retinue. As far as my regular genestealers, if i take the points away from the retinues Feeder Tendrils, it should give me enough points for flesh hooks on the troop slot.
 
 The Zoanthropes though, i will be using them for synapse nodes. I know that they are kill points, but i think theyll be ok as far as survivability and strong enough to kill their points worth of models.

 I made the proper changes to the army list. Took the Feeder Tendrils off the retinue, and decided to take the Extended Carapace from the troop selection Genies. With the remaining points I added another Gaunt, picked up a Toxin Sac for the Tyrant to boost his Venom Cannon, and added Bonded Exoskeleton to the "Screamer Killer" to assist him in getting across the field to assault a little easier.
