==List of deeds== *First seen on Tyran, leading [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]]'s final assault on a Mechanicum outpost. Not quite clear why, because the battle was pretty one-sided, although he could have been gathering more data about human warfare or the Hive Mind wanted to put its best foot forward when facing an unknown enemy. *Showed up on Macragge and kicked major testicle, outclassing [[Marneus Calgar]] in tactics, but only beating him in a fight because he ganged up on Marneus with his bodyguard. He cut off Papa Smurf's limbs, guts and one eye, but due to plot armor, failed to kill him. The honor guard managed to recover their [[Chapter Master]] thanks to the <s>force-feeding</s> heroic sacrifice of their commander to the Swarmlord to buy some time. While the [[Ultramarines]] withdrew to space, the Swarmlord led his forces to the polar fortresses to omnomnom the First Company and [[Ultramar]] [[Planetary Defense Force|PDF]]. And he succeeded. Unfortunately, the space battle for Macragge hadn't gone so well, mainly because the <s>Imperial Fleet had the balls of steel</s> More mass and numbers the Ultrasmurfs lacked; while the Tyranids won the planet, they lost the war. The Swarmlord was killed during this battle, but its "consciousness" (as far as any Tyranid bioform can be called conscious) was reabsorbed through the Tyranid synaptic network to be reincarnated later. *On Ichar IV Marneus and the Swarmlord had a rematch, this time with no minions getting in the way, and the Swarmlord lost outright, without even significantly injuring the Chapter Master. The Swarmlord, apparently, is just considerably weaker than Marneus as a fighter. *It's possible that the The Great Beast, who lead [[Hive Fleet Kraken]]'s invasion on [[Craftworld Iyanden]] was the Swarmlord itself. The other option is that it was a normal Hive Tyrant with the now-defunct Armoured Carapace biomorph. The Avatar of [[Khaine]] attempted to goad the creature in single combat during the fighting. However, the Swarmlord, not really knowing nor giving a damn about honorable duels and such, tricked The Avatar into getting shit kicked by twelve Carnifexes. It also avoided all Eldar attempts to assassinate him until the corsair prince [[Yriel]] finally managed to stab him in the face with a [[Cronesword|cursed spear.]] *Showed leading [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] at the last years of M41, where it once planned and executed [[Indrick Boreale|multiple simultaneous and devastating attacks]] on the Hodur Sector, resulted in omnomnoming two dozens Imperial worlds (including one Space Marine Chapter home world) in less then two months. Such a rapid and unstoppable Tyranid advance is rumored to be the main reason for inquisitor [[Kryptman]]'s decision to launch his infamous mass-exterminatus cordon project and [[Blood Ravens|stolen]] Genestealer project to redirect Leviathan into an [[Octarius War|Ork empire]]. *Now he's rumored to be in the [[Octarius War]], trying to gain ground against the [[Ork]]s. It seemed to be going well for a while, but then the [[Eldar]] went and purged the entire system of all life and after that Ghazgkhull himself showed up, hopped up on WAAAAGH energy and blessed by the direct intervention of [[Gork]] and [[Mork]] themselves, removing any semblance of a fair fight that might have existed. To make it even worse a [[World Eaters]] warband caught wind of all this and decided to join in. Within the year they had offered 8000 nid skulls to [[Khorne]]. This might not seem all that impressive... except for the fact that the ''smallest'' of these skulls was the size of a '''boulder'''. The [[Chaos Lord]] leading the warband, Vodha Bloodprice, managed to off a [[Hierophant]] with the the axe of a fallen [[Warboss]] and got promoted to [[Daemon Prince]] as a reward from the very pleased Khorne. *Appeared to lead the invasion of Baal where, once again, it died in single combat against a tired and exhausted [[Dante]]. If you haven't noticed, Swarmy has a critical weakness against anybody with [[plot armor]] and through this lost most of the menace that comes with being the pinnacle of all Tyranid evolution. At least in this case though, it's offset somewhat by the fact that Dante is unambiguously [[awesome]], which takes some of the sting out for Tyranid players. Hell, it almost kills Dante, impaling him and popping up his secondary heart, damaging his spine and leaving him gravely poisoned before Dante evaporates its face with the Perdition Pistol at point blank. Dante only even survived due to the aid of the [[Sanguinor]] and the direct intervention of [[Sanguinius]] himself, who appeared in the ethereal plane to praise and revive Dante before returning him to the materium. *In the latest step of the Swarmlord's nonstop fall down the ladder of success on Loqe II the Swarmlord engaged, and was killed, in single combat by a single, random Custodian after killing a mere two others. *Won the [[Octarius War]] by killing the Overfiend of Octarius... In their second duel, the Swarmlord being killed in their first. Dammit, even when he wins, he loses.
