Editing Tyranid Hive Fleet Creation Tables

Inspired by [[Fantasy Flight Games]]' Deathwatch [[RPG|role-playing game]]'s [[Space Marine Chapter Creation Tables]], these tables let you roll up (or otherwise generate) your very own [[Tyranid]] Hive Fleet.  In the absence of any role-playing game featuring the Tyranid specifically, this table is more or less entirely for the purpose of generating fluff.
