If so, the way EUK approached doing the Hierodule seems a sensible approach (Based the stats on the old generic Hierodule model, rather than going with a Scythed/Barbed split as with the modern models).
I like the fact you can have two different Hierodules. They have quite different roles and considering the amount of DC3 WEs IG and Eldar get Tyranids having 2 doesn't seem unreasonable.
I'm more interested in a modern style Tyranid list, but I'm not even sure what Tyranid Shrikes or Tyranid Primes are, are they variant Tyranid Warriors? Is this really needed in epic?
Personally I'd incorporate Tyrant Guard into the stats for non-flying Hive Tyrants, so that they have an extra attack from them as well as boosted armour. Tyrant Guard are specifically designed to bodyguard Hive Tyrants rather than wandering off on their own.
Ripper Swarms are too small to deserve to be statted in epic, just as Necron Scarrabs aren't.
I support ditching the Vituperator as discussed previously. It'll never have a model and is an unnecessary invention. A forge world Harridan is large enough as is and the small old metal one could be used as a Harpy proxy.
