Tyranids

AgelessOne

First Post
If anyone is familiar with Tyranids from Warhammer 40k have they ever attempted to create D20 stat blocks for them.

I wanted to introduce something like the Tyranids as some "outsider" or planar beings. they are pretty nasty but I wasn't sure on things like HD etc

Anyone out there give it a try?

Minis hand book has a race of buggy critters that feel like tyranids.

If you want 3.0, the BOVD had the Kythons. They even have organic weapons and a lot of In-hive diversity. Due to the potent poison they all have, you might want to re-evaluate their CR if you use them.

Kythons from the Book of Vile Darkness are very similar in concept to tyranids, in that they breed organisms that fill the role of weapons.
 

Ok..this is my first attempt. Please review it.

I partiularly need some help with the CRs becuase the creatures can be modified. Any feedback would be appreciated. Should I just stat each variant out?

If you added exteneded carapace should it increase the CR by 1? If you use them with Spinefists instead of Fleshborers how would that affect the CR?

Additionally how are skills applied...if I want them to be good at climbing, they can have fleshhooks for X amount of CR or I can give them skill points in climbing for X ammount of CR.



I also welcome any ideas to change what I placed here
