I'm confused on your situation.
Your whole army vs a fex?
Well lets get at it.

Marker and gun drones are a BAD choice for Fire Warrior squads. Notice how much points you spend on them?
Human Aux = I would never field.
You have a Devilfish, a hammer head, and Piranhas.
Why don't you bust out a Fish of Fury formation?
[Tau Tactics] Fish of Fury Formation
Read that if you need help.
I am assuming you are playing a 1k point game.
We need to know what the other tyranid army has to determine how to effectively help you in this situation. To say that - How can I kill the carnfex? Is a simple solution, I can solve it for you.
Fish of Fury formation line - Double Markerlight the fex - Double Tap Crisis Plasmas, Double Fusion, and railgun it.
That is over 5 wounds, and if you fail. There is some serious bad dice rolling.
Because the Carnifex is SO slow. I would not worry about it. I would chop down the enemy for a turn or two.
Once it hits close range - Bring in all your heavy weapons to kill it. YOU HAVE AP 2 WEAPONS WITH HIGH STRENGTH! USE IT!
You don't need force weapons. You simply have the guns with str to cut through toughness. Then the AP to negate the armor.
I think target priority is your issue, but thats okay.
Also make use of Fish of Fury. It denies close combat.
