I'm a little confused. Do Tyranids only get 2 turns of actions before the 3rd/4th turn Victory check? I'm assuming in turn one it just means the swarm forms up and then gets to do its action, and from turn 2 they are a solid swarm formation. The way it's written makes it seem as though thier only action in turn 1 is to form up into a swarm??

Swarms for Turn 1 are decided at deployment *before* Turn 1 starts. In all other turns you check for swarm composition at the beginning of the turn. You can't deploy Brood creatures outside of Synapse range when you're first setting up your units.
Those swarms can act normally in the first turn taking whatever action you like.
