Ork adaptation vs tyranids

[NemesorSobekta]

Since orks adapt to things quickly, is is possible they'll start adapting to tyranids and coming up with new weapons and ways to resist them? 

[N1SB]

Yes, it is absolutely possible.

 

Moreover, are we sure they haven't begun already?  Perhaps the recent elevation of Beast Snagga Boyz, who used to be just Squigherders, is a sign that the Orks are turning more to these beast experts to deal with the rising threat of Tyranids.  Fun Fact - in 1st edition Wh40k, back when it was still called Rogue Trader, there were such a thing as Tyranid Squigs.  Squigs were a catch-all term for weird creatures.  This is just a funny coincidence now that I mention it.

 

I'm just kidding, but only a little bit.  I can see an Ork Warboss looking at some Snagga Boyz feeding the Squigs, thinking about how wild and ravenous they are, then thinking Tyranids and how wild and ravenous they are, then...after a couple of minutes...puts 2 and 2 together to form lots, goes up to the Snagga Boyz and go "Oi, you lot, I'z got a gig for you."
