I would switch these out for scuttling spinegaunts, they cost you less points, you can get more of them, and they will make it to combat about the same time as the hormagaunts would or wouldn't.

Alright One thing thats really considered mandatory on these guys is Warp Blast, I suggest all three of them get it, just drop the synapse creature on them.

Then because your going to lack synapse, drop an elite fex and take some points away from the gaunts for some fast attack warriors, they can keep up with the gaunts and provide you that needed synapse again two small broods of them; wings, scything talons, rending claws. By the time they die hopefully your tyrants will have made it in range to cover the small guys.

But even if your synapse is wiped out most of your army has a high enough LD that you can pass your "Instinctive Behavior Tests".
