2500 Nids for Mini Ard boyz

So, I have a tournament coming up (they are monthly at my LGS) on Dec 11. No comp, no paint, no sportsmanship, basically a miniature Ard boyz.

Here is the list I was planning to take.  Doing some reworks that I'll post later but would like your thoughts on this:

Swarmlord
-2 Guard with whips

Tyrant
-Wings, Hive Commander, Old Adversary, 2 TL Devs

Tervigon
-Cluster, Catalyst, AG, TS

Tervigon
-Cluster, Catalyst, AG, TS

10 Termagants
10 Termagants
5 Stealers
5 Stealers

3 Hive Guard
2 Zoans + Pod
Deathleaper

2 Trygon Primes + AG
1 Mawloc

Now, I know it looks like a "mess" but basically Swarmlord holds the centerline while Winged Tyrant, Zoans, Trygons, and Mawloc have the option to Deep Strike and disrupt enemy lines.  The list has a +2 to reserve so very good chance they all come in.  Stealers are there for the off chance that terrain supports a nice inflitrate otherwise outflank scare the opponent's deployment.  I actually use them conservatively as objective holders that need no synapse.
thoughts?  Questions?

I'm pretty comfortable running this list and it has done well for me however, the scenarios were released early and with all the objectives it makes me wonder if I should tweak it with some objective contesting tricks.. stealers... deathleaper...  thoughts?
