Spiders bond with both Sujoah and the wyverns, and Sujoah/wyverns fly around and poison/talon grab everything.
You could substiture Estivara for two squads of spiders if you wanted.
Good luck and have fun!

I thought about this, and have played with Sujoah/Wyvern/Spider builds before, but I wonder about the utility of it in a tourney where a big part of everyone's army will be large/huge. That kind of hurts the spiders and the wyverns as their powers cannot work on anything but small/medium. A shame because I love this army. There have been accusations that I sometimes build maps with scattered patches of lava equal in elevation to adjacent non-lava terrain just so I can Wyvern-drop people into it. But I will never admit to such things of course.

If everyone is going to be bringing large/huge unique heroes, you can do the evil metagame thing and bring:
Stingers x5 (180/15)
[3 inexpensive large/unique heroes of your choice]
That looks like a winner right there. Stingers' specialty is tearing down heroes, especially the big high defense ones like dragons.
A similar choice would be:
Axegrinders x5 (350/20)
[Me Burq Sa / Nerak / whatever]
Forget the bonding, your evil little dwarves will be moving at a rate of 6 hexes / turn and hitting and defending with 4 dice against your opponent's dragons and Q9s.
Cyprien is also a good dragon-killer, if you think you aren't especially likely to see one of the Q brothers.
As for the Stinger suggestion, I do like it...been thinking about something Marro that doesn't revolve around Hivelords. To build on it, I wonder if playing it with the Hive would be workable in this type of tourney. I may attempt some type of a 4X stinger, 1X hive, two whatever-doesn't-matter-so-long-as-they-are-large/huge/unique/uncommon build.
EDIT...You have five squads of Stingers costing 180 points. That is 36 points per squad and is not the correct figure, just in case anyone is building based on your post. I knew whatcha meant though!
