    Wait, the pain feedback woke her up so it effects her physically when the swarm is hit to hard, does that mean another shot could damager her via feedback or direct hit? A possible weakness!

    eureka!

    Actually, it's been stated that Swarmlords (and Hive Tyrants to a different degree) posses the ability to rationally think their way through problems and outsmart the enemy. In fact, that's the reason the Hive Fleets bring out Swarmlords: because general Tyranid tactics of 'swarm, eat, rinse, repeat' don't work.

    They don`t work SOMETIMES. The birth of a swarmlord is a special thing that is semi rare. It`s even been described as a knee jerk reaction for when it fails to win via swarm.

    Just read the Lexicanum entry on the Swarmlord (singular). I concede the point.

    She's somewhere between Hive Tyrant and Swarmlord. If she dies, they'll probably be able to reform her, but in the best case scenario it'd take ages.

    Oh.

    I think part of the question is whether, if it gets killed, it can come back in a short enough time to participate again.

    And the other part is whether or not it is literally a Hive Tyrant pony or if it`s just a powerful synapse creature. If the former then we know what it can do with weaponry and psyker powers, but if it`s the later then you can make up the powers.

    Fast enough for the same war, but not the same battle.

    And it's abilities will be mostly made up, but should be similar to those of a hive tyrant. I could write a statblock, probably, if you liked.

    Not a stateblock, realy, more like a general list of powers.


    Actualy, perhapes we could put down "army lists"?
    It could clear up a bit confusion we could face if someone sent out a "squad" of space mareines and have them fight a "stream" of paranids. Naturaly, some races numbers may grow (hogz and Parinids, mostly), but others (such as myself) have rather "elite" armies in which unit cordination is key.

    Thoughts?

    Define these army lists?

    I'll imagine there're several regiments of Equestrian Guards and PDF cannon fodder on the ground on Incipio. The Colonel was elected commander by virtue of his seniority, though a Lord-General would probably be more appropriate for this position to be honest. (I chalk it to the LG him/herself being delayed.)
