Tau and Marines desperate allies? Signs of tightening up the allies matrix or just choice of wording?

I'm more excited that a Hive Tyrant actually beat a riptide in combat. Perhaps a nerf coming to MC's smash attack?

Can be simpler... If the Riptide doesnt get his 3++ (due to rolling 1 or 2) the Tyrants chances are pretty ok.
Add in a possible 6 from Boneswords or Catalyst and his chances are actually guite good.

Given the wording in follow up sentences about sideways glances, shifty maneuvers, and the Tyranids not having those "problems", it sounds to me like it's not just wording and Tau and Marines are going to be Desperate Allies, or whatever the equivalent will be in the overhauled allied matrix the other WD leaks talk about.

It's not that unreasonable for a Tyrant to win currently. They usually get shot to death first is all.
