Why not make a bunch of Sliver Minions? Each minion has an aura that transfers its catch-call ability to all other slivers in the aura. The big ones, like the queen, could be high level solos for some good end-game boss battle action.
I know someone also made a bunch of slivers already. There was a PDF somewhere. Search for "aberrations." There was a thread with a link to the PDF in it. If not, I might be able to give you my copy.

I'm taking slivers to a different tangent, but I will use it for inspiration.
Thanks.
As for sliver minions, you just use the template in the DMG.
Most of the time, about six slivers in a wolf pack or two part.
Though I like the idea of the sliver swarm.
Slivers gain their power through "evolution" and thus have a natural power source, rather than aberrant.
I will also add some skill challenge slivers, such as the brood sliver, and some others of my own machinations.

There should be slivers of every concievable type. Natural, Undead, Elemental, Construct, Aberration. You name it they got it.
And i like those slivers, I'll have to try my hand at a few...

I've sorted and conceptualized the auras for all the early paragon (1/1 or levels 10-15) slivers, I need to clarify them, balance them and fill out the rest of their stats.

Brood Sliver- Whenever a sliver within the Aura does damage, spawn a Sliver Minion of level equal to the Brood Sliver.

Excuse me...
Whenever a Sliver within the aura deals a critical hit, it spawns a Sliver Drone in an adjacent square.
I would also see Sliver drones being minions that are 1-2 levels "behind the curve."

Yes, Brood Slivers were cruel, cruel monsters.
Cause remember, children, even if a defending Sliver gets trounced, they count as having done damage. At best, you break even.
So terribly, terribly cruel...
EVERY DAY IS HORRIBLE POST DAY ON THE D&D FORUMS.
Everything makes me ANGRY (ESPECIALLY you, reader)

It occured to me, that even a straight aura would make slivers rather dull and uninteresting opponents. They would simply clump up and move as a single pack, never leaving their protective coverage.
To make slivers more active and more willing to separate, I propose adding a "memory" to the sliver transformation:
Sliver Aura Template:
Aura 1, 2 or 3: All slivers, friend or foe, who end their turn within the aura gain the following Attack/Ability/Bonus: (effect) A sucessful Saving Throw ends the effect once a sliver leaves the aura.
A small aura limits the number of slivers that can huddle together... but once enhanced, they can leave the aura for turns at a time. (expecially if they evolve a racial penalty to saving throws, to make ANY lasting effect upon them last)
