Savage 40K - Bestiary Part One

I was planning on posting some gear stats today, mostly weapons and power armor, but I had some problems and LibreOffice ate the work I had done. So, instead, I spent 45 minutes or so and drew up some tyranid stats for my upcoming playtest game. I added two monstrous abilities specifically for tyranids (Synapse Creature and Animal Instincts), and some of the basic tyranid types. Later, I'll be adding the Zoanthrope, Carnifex, Tervigon, and a few others.

Once I finish the tyranids, I'll probably start working on orks or dark eldar. I'll be redoing the gear list, and I'll probably write up a few Savage Deathwatch one-sheets. At this point, all I have to finish up for the playtest is the gear, which hopefully shouldn't take much more than an hour or so. So, that said, here's the actual content I've got finished up for today.
