YMMV / The Swarm of War

• Hilarious in Hindsight: The fic has Captain Titus from Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine reassigned to an Inquisitor and sent to investigate the Zerg due to his old position being taken. The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II reveal trailer shows him as a Lieutenant wearing an Inquisitorial badge and fighting Tyranids.
• Rooting for the Empire: James preferred the Zerg while he was still a human. Of course, this entire fic could be considered that. Although, with its habit of allowing large human villages to exist for Pragmatic Villainy purposes - basically sentient cattle living in reasonable comfort until harvested (or, with the most powerful, recruited) - the Swarm can be considered a lesser evil compared to some…
• Take That, Scrappy!: The Ultramarines space marines, commonly called by their detractors the Ultrasmurfs due to their colour. The original timeline had them barely defeat the Tyranids at the Battle of Macragge. The Overmind's current plan is to have the battle turn out... a bit differently.
