Space Marines vs Tyranids Mode

[Forge Master]

I'd like to a mode where players can do say as in, 4 v 4, or 6 v 6 and be either on the Space Marines Team or the Tyranids team... Both teams get a swarm to deal with, with the Tyranids having to deal with the Archadians, and the Space Marines dealing with the little Tyranids guys.. Something to the akin of maybe a Left 4 Dead 2 Versus mode... only difference is, both sides gets a swarm to deal with and work with.

Or perhaps.. a Mini-Tyranid campaign... It's really cool, but REALLY rare for games to have multiple perspectives in a single game.

maybe they'll add that later

Tryanids campaign would be super interesting, but probably difficult from a story mode perspective. There wouldn't be any exposition unless its the hive mind having a conversation with itself?

And it'd get us a step closer to simulating their tabletop experience digitally.

Battlefleet Gothic 2 pulled it off neatly by telling the Nid campaign story from the perspective of all the other powers in the area as they're getting overwhelmed.

That's in the works for... never, don't buy it hoping it'll happen.

I feel like the only way to properly have a true Tyranid campaign from both a gameplay and have a good lore faithful/fun gameplay ratio would be to do an inverse of a tower defense game. Maybe with the ability to drop into third/first person as the larger synapse creatures.
