'''Biomorphs:'''
*Two pair of Bone Sabres
*Prehensile Pincer
*Dopamine Injectors
*Regeneration

'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Aeons of Experience:''' If the Swarmlord is your warlord, it has two warlord traits.
*'''Blade Parry'''
*'''Bullet Screening:''' Roll a dice each time this model loses a wound whilst any Termagant, Hormagaunt, Simurgh, or Gargoyle Brood is within 3" of this unit; on a 2+ a model from that unit can intercept that hit - the Hive Tyrant does not lose a wound but the unit suffers a mortal wound.
*'''Death Throes'''
*'''Hive Commander'''
*'''Old Adversary'''
*'''Psychic Barrier'''
*'''Psychic Monstrosity:''' The Swarmlord may never suffer perils and may reroll any number of dices when attempting to cast or deny a psychic power.
*'''Shadow in the Warp'''
*'''Suppress Instincts:''' At the beginning of your turn pick a friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Hive Fleet>}} {{W40kKeyword|Tyranids}} unit that would suffer from the ''Instinctive Behaviour'' special rule; that unit ignores the effect of the rule until the beginning of your next turn.
*'''Swarm Leader:''' At the beginning of your turn, pick one friendly {{W40kKeyword|<Hive Fleet>}} unit within 6" of the Swarmlord. The unit can either choose to re-roll every wound roll against {{W40kKeyword|Monster}}s or {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}}s, to re-roll every hit roll of 1, or to not suffer any penalties to the hit rolls for moving and shooting with Heavy weapons and Advancing and shooting with Assault weapons.
*'''Synapse'''
*'''The Destroyer of Galaxies:''' The Swarmlord's leadership may never be negatively affected and moral tests made by enemy units within 18" are taken at a -2 leadership penalty.
*'''The Will of the Hive Mind'''  

'''Psyker:'''
*The Swarmlord can attempt to manifest three psychic powers in each friendly Psychic phase, and attempt to deny two psychic power in each enemy Psychic phase. It knows the ''Smite'' power and three psychic powers from any of the Hivemind's disciplines.

'''Warlord Trait:''' If this model is your Warlord, it has the ''Alien Cunning'' Warlord Trait and one more chosen from the remaining ones.
