If you have no already heard, the Swarm Guardian has been replaced with a beefier air assault unit called the Brood Lord, it has the same abilities but just a lot stronger and greater health. Here is the latest picture of it leaked:

This is of course not the final image as it is an early leak.

Its ok... Since 40K came first everyone thinks they copied off of them and would never get similar ideas

just like lord of the rings, since that movie, people would call any medieval movie a Lotr rip off if it came after.

No way are they Tyranids. Its just got small relations...

lets compare the differences!

Mouths: Both have mouths
Food: Both eat
Death Animation: Both have death animations
Guns: Both have guns(Lolinfestedterrans)
Legs: Both have legs
Tank Unit: Both have tank units
Air: Zergs only have air units
Oxygen: Zergs can survive anywhere but Tyranids need a certain enviorment
SpaceTravelTechnology: Zergs can warp speed with slowass Overlords but Tyranids can steal War Ships
Time Travel: Zergs can cause time paradoxes, but tyranids make time loops
Build Time: Zerg build faster
Building Build Time: Zerg take longer, as Tyranids Have no buildings
Chance2Dodge: Tyranids have a higher chance to dodge
Magical Powers: Tyranids are dumb animals, but zerg can use psi(lol kerrigan)
Map Making: DoW2 sucks at map making. U cant make maps but in SC u can
Amount: Zerg can haz 400 lings! Tyranids can only have 40 worms
HP: Tyranids have more hp
Technology: Zerg have mastered warp speed on Overlords. Tyranids are behind but have guns
Jobs: Zerg are smarter when it comes to jobs, as they can harvest minerals! Tyranids cap the damn point
Food Cap: Zerg have 200. Tyranids have 100.
Resources: Tyranids gain more resources per second, but zerg gain more per return
Heroes: Zerg have like 8 heroes and Tyranids only have 3.

Anyways thats a comparisin. But i still like the guardian better. He looked just like a mutalisk, as they both looked like a wheel. but the Brood Lord looks like a Parachute(SC: Ghost Model???)

Tyranids existed long before Dawn of War 2...

Also your information couldn't be anymore WRONG!

... Or can it *Cue evil squirall eye and scary music*

anyways, its totally right, but tyranids "Cannot" warp speed, they merely catch the space cruiser
.... Tyranids can jump through the warp which is essentially the Warhammer 40,000 version for warp speed or something like that. Also the Tyranids do not capture ships, they make their own ships.

Also to fix your post abit more (bolded parts are fixed):
lets compare the differences!

Mouths: Both have mouths
Food: Both eat
Death Animation: Both have death animations
Guns: Both have guns(Lolinfestedterrans)
Legs: Both have legs
Tank Unit: Both have tank units
Air: Zergs only have air units WRONG! The Tyranids have lots of air units like Harridans, Gargoyles, different kinds of ships, etc.
Oxygen: Zergs can survive anywhere but Tyranids need a certain enviorment AGAIN WRONG! The Tyranids don't need a certain enviroment. They can survive in any enviroment. The reason why they change planets is so that the enviroment becomes harmful to the ENEMY.
SpaceTravelTechnology: Zergs can warp speed with slowass Overlords but Tyranids can steal War Ships I already fixed this
Time Travel: Zergs can cause time paradoxes, but tyranids make time loops
Build Time: Zerg build fasterYou're only talking about DOW 2
Building Build Time: Zerg take longer, as Tyranids Have no buildingsAgain you're only talking about DOW 2
Chance2Dodge: Tyranids have a higher chance to dodgeAgain you're only talking about DOW 2
Magical Powers: Tyranids are dumb animals, but zerg can use psi(lol kerrigan) Wrong again. The Tyranids have lots of Psykers (Warhammer 40,000 version for things with psi-like powers), on top of this they are controlled by a singular hive mind
Map Making: DoW2 sucks at map making. U cant make maps but in SC u can
Amount: Zerg can haz 400 lings! Tyranids can only have 40 worms In DoW 2 the Tyranids have only a few units yeah, but in lore a single Tyranid Splinter Fleet (as in a lesser one) outnumbers the whole Zerg population greatly
HP: Tyranids have more hp
Technology: Zerg have mastered warp speed on Overlords. Tyranids are behind but have guns Tyranids are capable of Warp Jump ("Warp Speed"), and are also VERY advanced. They can pretty much create huge varieties of creatures
Jobs: Zerg are smarter when it comes to jobs, as they can harvest minerals! Tyranids cap the damn point Again you're only talking about DOW 2
Food Cap: Zerg have 200. Tyranids have 100.Again you're only talking about DOW 2
Resources: Tyranids gain more resources per second, but zerg gain more per returnAgain you're only talking about DOW 2
Heroes: Zerg have like 8 heroes and Tyranids only have 3.

Anyways thats a comparisin. But i still like the guardian better. He looked just like a mutalisk, as they both looked like a wheel. but the Brood Lord looks like a Parachute(SC: Ghost Model???)

Abit too much like the Guardian IMO.

I think that's a good thing, Swarm Guardian looked too much like a larva IMO.
In my eyes, it is defenantly a diferent unit from the origonal Guardian, while still looking like it is based off the origonal.

I hope they upped the cost of it, otherwise it will be realy OP.

And ENOUGH OF THE STUPID ZERG VS./= TERANID GARBAGE!!
THEY ARE ANALOGS OF THAIR RESPECTIVE UNIVERSES!!
100% ORGANIC "BUGS", THE BLACK WITH NO SHADES OF GRAY, THE SPACE MONSTERS THAT MAY, OR ARE, THE GREATEST THREAT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE UNIVERSES!!
THEY ARE THE SAME, AND YET DEFERENT!
AND THE DEFENECES ARE PURELY ASTETIC!
