	Kul asked the same question a while back, and I posted some 
prelimanary ideas for the zerg.  He never commented, but here's that post
with a few updates:

	Well, I've been thinking about 'em.  Here's approximately what
I've come up with:

Zergling:
MV: 15  HD: 3+1  AC: 6 (or less)  Att: 1-8/1-8  Size: M (6' long)

Hydralisk:
MV: 9  HD: 6  AC: 4 (or less)  Att: 1-10/1-10  Size: L (9' long, maybe more)
  Sp Att: Fling Spines (3 attacks/round; 100 spines; 1-8 dmg; range 24";
  regains 1 spine/5 rounds)
(Lurker Aspect)
MV: 9  HD: 8  AC: 4 (or less)  Att: sp  Size: 12' across
  Sp Att: Burrowed spikes (1 attack/2 rounds; 2-20 dmg; AoE all creatures
          on the ground in straight line 6" long; each creature requires
          separate to hit roll)

Mutalisk:
MV: Fly 24 (C)  HD: 6  AC: 6 (or less)  Att: bite (1-4)  Size: L (15' long)
  SP Att: Glave worm
          (10 shots; 3d6 acid dmg [looses 1d6/hit]; range 15";
           regains 1 shot/turn)
(Gaurdian Aspect)
MV: Fly 9 (E)  HD: 10  AC: 2 (or less)  Att: spore (20 shots; 5d6 acid dmg;
  range 64"; regains 1 shot/hour)  Size: L (20' across)
(Devourer Aspect)
???

Ultralisk:
MV: 18  HD: 15-20  AC: 2 (or less)  Att: 2-20/2-20  Size: L (25' long)

Queen:
MV: Fly 36 (B)  HD: 4  AC: 6 (or less)  Att: See below  Size: ??? L (10' long)
  Sp Att: Parasite/ Spawn Broodling/ Ensnare/ Infest

Defiler:
MV: 6  HD: 4  AC: 6  Att: See below  Size: ??? L (9' long)
  Sp Att: Plague/ Dark Swarm/ Consume

Scourge:
MV: Fly 48 (A)  HD: 2  AC: 5 (or less)  Att: See below  Size: M (5' long)
  Sp Att: Boom! (10-100 10' radius; 5-50 20' radius)

Overlord:
MV: Fly 6 (E)  HD: 10  AC: 3  Att: None  Size: Really Big ??? (50' long)

	I havn't used Devourers too much yet, so I'm not sure how they'd
convert.  As for the buildings, I'd translate their hitpoints directly
from the game and convert to hull points.  Sunken Colonies would probably
do 5d10 with their "tongue", while Spore Colonies would do 5d8 with their
spore attack.

	Comments?
