Looks like a tyranid box set coming

The 3rd edition carnifexes were basically crabs.

You do realize that if we get new underwater Tyranids, they will all get a special crippling debuff "A fish out of water" that only goes away in a narrative-only underwater battles.

not if they make the unit amphibious like a tyranid turtle or crab

The "joke" was that we have the unique distinction of having special rules that weaken us rather than strengthen and that GW would take the opportunity to give us more.

One who tells me what tyranids are (copy and pasted from the 3ed Codex)
One who tells me that we fought Marneus Calgar and almost won.
One that tells me why i should buy Tyranids.
One that tells me that i should buy the new octarius book.

I meant IN the Octarius book

One who tells me, why we lost agains Orks
One who tells me why i should buy Tyranids.

Tyranids vs Orcs box set?

That would be very unlike gw, a xeno v xeno boxset in the age of primaris stuff?

We know octarius supplement is going to have 2 space marine characters for example and that's primarily a tyranid vs orcs conflict!

To be fair, Blood of the Phoenix was Xenos vs Xenos and whilst still an Imperial army, there was Forgebane (Mechanicus vs Necrons). Of course the former seemed to have been a flop and the narrative turning an Ork vs Tyranid plot into Imperial vs NPC Factions matchup isn't exactly encouraging.
