So if he eats Smurfs, does that make him Gargamel?

The Swarmlord, (also known as Schwarmfuhrer) is one of the few Tyranid character with a little bit of personality. The Swarmlord is the supreme general of the Tyranid army, and also the most smart, cunning and experienced Hive Tyrant of the swarm. Wherever the hive fleet could not overwhelm the opposition with sheer numbers or standard tactics, it spawns the Swarmlord, and he gets shit done. And besides being a super-general, the Swarmlord is also a close combat monster and powerful psyker, capable of tearing apart the Despoiler himself.

He's also immortal, as his memories and personality are constantly saved by the hive mind and are placed in brand new shiny body if the previous one got blasted apart with massed melta fire. This means there could not be multiple Swarmlords on different battlefields, as it is a uniquely unique entity.

List of deeds

  • First seen on Tyran, leading Hive Fleet Behemoth's final assault on Mechanicum outpost. Not quite clear why, because battle was pretty one-sided, although he could have been gathering more data about human warfare.
  • Showed up on Macragge and kicked major ass, outclassing Marneus Calgar in both tactics and close combat. He cut off Papa Smurf's limbs, but due to plot armor, failed to kill him. The honor guard managed to recover their Chapter Master while force-feeding their commander to the Swarmlord. While the Ultramarines withdrew to the space, the Swarmlord led his forces to the polar fortresses to omnomnom the First Company and Ultramar PDF. And he succeeded. Unfortunately, space battle for Macragge hadn't gone so well, mainly because the Imperial Fleet had the balls of steel Ultrasmurfs lacked; while the Tyranids won the planet, they lost the war. It's not quite clear what had happened to the Swarmlord, as his body was never found. It's possible that he's still under the surface of Macragge, waiting for a new hive fleet.
  • It's likely that the The Great Beast, who lead Hive Fleet Kraken's invasion on Craftworld Iyanden was the Swarmlord himself. He tricked the Avatar of Khaine into getting shitkicked by twelve Carnifexes, and avoided all Eldar attempts to assassinate him until the corsair prince Yriel finally managed to kill him with a cursed spear.
  • Now he's rumored to be leading Hive Fleet Leviathan in Ontarius empire, pwning Orks. Not much known about his effort there.
