I can't find the answer for this anywhere. most tyranid have two scything talons or even two sets. what about double bonesword? any help on this matter would be great. thank you.

I answered it myself. woops. on the top right of page 33 in the tyranid rulebook if you're looking too. the answer is no. they never have close combat weapons.

Nope, it specifies in codex they do not

No, the Tyranid codex states in very clear terms that they do NOT use CCWs and don't get the bonus for multiple CCWs.

In compensation, all their melee biomorphs stack with each other.

So a Tyranid that has a Bonesword, Lashwhip, Venom Glands, and a pair of Scything Talons will have poison, make every enemy model in btb I1, reroll 1s to hit, and his attacks will ignore armor saves while forcing Ld tests to cause ID.

This. It is an excellent tradeoff seeing as if I was, say, a space marine with similar wargear, I would only get one of the above listed effects. Its a nice way to keep balance while still flavoring the army.
