It’s a shame the Swarmlord was not in the game, it was a missed opportunity

This game is an 8.5/10 for me but I am a bit disappointed we did not get a main Tyranid boss fight apart from the Carnifex and Hive Tyrant. We should have had a chance to take down the Swarmlord, it would have been an amazing boss fight.

Swarmlord is stronger than Hive Tyrant.
We barely won against mortally wounded Hive Tyrant.
You'd have to invest in Cato Sicarius plot armor level to face Swarmlord and not end up as Astartes sashimi with only 3 man squad, primaries or not.

But we have plot armor too. So I think we would win.

Yeah, count your blessings the Devs tuned down the Tyranids so you can win (most simple example: Lash Whip should strike at anyone that gets near the corpse of the defeated Warrior with a Lash Whip, and thus technically turning every instance of a Lash Whip warrior into a mortally dangerous area denial situation. Not to mention that Gants and Gaunts could have acidic blood that kill you on death, like a Xenomorph)

As Tyranid fan i do not want to see the Swarmlord. Not only does he not look any different from the Hive Tyrant (just 2 more swords), but also do i see no point in facing him.

I am actually greatful the Devs didn't have us go and kill a Norn Queen or something silly like that, because the "Skittles colored Smurfs are so awesome"(TM)

From the day I first saw that Magnus' ♥♥♥♥♥ babies were gonna be the true enemy in this game I was saying it would be so funny if a Norn Queen came out of absolutely nowhere with a steel chair and took on the role of final boss in the game.

Well i've not played it all but It would've been cool. You know, just see the chapter smash a swarmlord. Calgar could've got some sweet revenge in a sense.

In that case, why not add Ahriman as main puppetmaster? After all, it was he who made the Thousand Sons what it is now.
