Impressively CC. Those Mawlocs will hurt!

Might be a good idea to incorporate in some gaunts somewhere, as these can be used (if nothing else) to provide cover for your warriors, who are fairly expensive and vulnerable to AP4 or better weaponry. With only 2 scoring units your warriors are likely to be prime targets. I'd also consider replacing the Tyranid Prime with a Tervigon if you can scrape some points together - gives you the capability of generating more scoring units

It's concise, focused and there's a clear game plan here. That all makes for a good Nid list.

As the Wookie says the obvious weakness is the lack of troops. Warriors die easy despite their 3 wounds. It only takes S8 to ID them. Starting the Raveners infront of the Warriors should give your opponent something else to think about though. Remember, starting Raveners on the board is probably better than Deep Striking them as with their 12" charge they can cover a lot of ground fast.

You may already know this, but make sure you start the MAwlocs on the board as you can tunnel in Turn 1 and automatically Deep Strike in on turn 2.

I assume that you have taken Rending Claws on your Warriors to takle light tanks? I'd usually advise against taking rending claws with Boneswords as Boneswords ignore armour anyway, but with your lack of anti tank I think it's justtified, maybe you can swap a few out for Scything Talons though.

Yes to both of your assuptions
I love mawlocs lol

ok heres what i propose
take out the 3 warriors and the prime thats an extra 210 pts
add a 160 pt tervigon
and add a 10x termagaunt brood for the extra 50 pts
and im fairly sure i have a few pts left over
