Considering the lead times involved, the results of this battle are going to show up in printed books at about the beginning of the lead-up phase for 11th edition.
It'll be forgotten by then. All this does is 'decide' if they show off the Marine products for autumn before or after the Tyranid products for autumn.

Let's not kid ourselves, this is completely opaque and there's a good chance that the result is predetermined (like e.q. WotC's 'battle' between Mirrodin Redeemed and New Phyrexia).
Inaugural global campaign. Which side (Maureens or Tyranids) will get their next wave of releases shown off first.
Tyranids - you get to eat a whole world! No Chaos tricks, no hidden marine reserves, no plot armour, no shining hero that will stand firm and save them. The whole world for the eating!!
Catch - there's WAY more marine players than Tyranid. It's going to be one hard slog to eat them all!

This sounds like a perfect reason to use AI to write an essay.
The Tyranids, within the vast universe of Warhammer 40K, are undeniably awesome for several reasons. Firstly, their concept is utterly terrifying. They represent a ravenous and all-consuming alien swarm that travels through space, devouring entire worlds in their path. This relentless hunger and the sheer scale of their existence make them a formidable force.
Secondly, the Tyranids possess an incredibly diverse range of bio-engineered creatures. From towering Hive Tyrants to the numerous ranks of Gaunts, each unit showcases a unique blend of alien biology and deadly adaptations. The intricate designs and attention to detail in their models make them visually captivating.
Furthermore, the Tyranids offer a distinct playstyle on the tabletop. Their focus on close combat and overwhelming numbers provides an exhilarating and dynamic gaming experience. The ability to adapt and evolve during battles, as depicted in the lore, adds an extra layer of depth and unpredictability to their gameplay.
Ultimately, the Tyranids captivate Warhammer 40K enthusiasts with their horrifying concept, stunning miniature designs, and engaging playstyle. They stand as an awe-inspiring faction that embodies the sheer terror and alien menace within the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.
Oh yea I'm winning that prize!

I notice that Tyranid Warriors With Melee Bio-Weapons and Tyranid Warriors with Ranged Bio-Weapons are now two separate units, according to the Winged Prime's valid attached units.

An abominable intelligence wrote that? Maybe it should rip off a raging fanboy instead of GW's soulless marketing texts. Might actually be interesting and fun to read.

Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
Oh boy, let me tell you why Space Marines are so much cooler than Tyranids! First of all, Space Marines are super tough and heroic. They are genetically enhanced super-soldiers, with amazing strength and power. They wear these awesome suits of armor that make them look like walking tanks! They have these massive guns and cool futuristic weapons that can blast away any enemy.
But wait, there's more! Space Marines are not just strong, they are also really smart. They have these strategic minds and can come up with awesome battle plans to defeat the enemies. They fight for the Emperor and defend humanity from all the evil threats in the galaxy. They are the ultimate defenders of justice!
Now, let's talk about Tyranids. Sure, they might be big and scary, but they are just mindless bugs. They don't have any cool armor or weapons like the Space Marines. They are just a swarm of creatures looking to devour everything in their path. Boring!
So there you have it, Space Marines are way cooler than Tyranids. They are the epitome of bravery, strength, and awesomeness in the Warhammer 40,000 universe!

Maybe I can trim this down to size:

Spehss Mahrens, todeh the enemeh is at oua doar! We know oua duteh and we will do eet. We fight for our honor as Blud Rehvens,

We are the spehss mahrens! WE ARE THE EMPRA'S FUREH!
Of course this is the edited version taught to young cultists to disgrace the honourable captain. This is the handy work of chaos. This was the original version found at his desk next to a pile of red and black crayons.
There is at our honor, as Blood Ravens, as space marines, and so foolish.
We are the emperor!
If we fight in glory.
We will descend upon the name of our headquarters.
We will descend upon the emperor's fury There is at our door.
We have placed numerous beacons, allowing for our honor, as Blood Ravens, as Blood Ravens, as Blood Ravens, as space marines, and devastating defensive deep strike!
Our perimeter has been prepared in the event that our enemies should be lost!
Battle brothers; space prepared to deep strike!
Our perimeter has been prepared in the emperor!
If we fight in space, prepared to deep strikes.
The Codex Astartes names this maneuver steel rain.
We fight for multiple simultaneous and we fight for our door.
We are the emperor!
If we will overwhelm them, we shall not die.
No, We fight for our honor, as space marines, and we fight for our battle brothers are stationed in the name of the emperor!

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.
Please report to your nearest GW store for attitude readjustment. Take your wallet.

And no mention of Shrikes. Unfortunate.
It's to do with how 10th does 2 sets of close combat weapons, since you can only swing with one. That means Warriors will either need to be given <extra attacks> or something else with the double melee weapon loadout.
As for no Shrikes, that unit doesn't exist yet. This would not be updated until the codex release with the new models.

Exactly. Nothing in these sheets or the coming 'Nid sheets on the 8th will give us anything new.
They'll all be for existing units + the units revealed in Leviathan. We won't see the rules for the new stuff until they start previewing the new Codex.

It might also be ranged get a defensive ability on objectives or something where the melee get a speed boost. Or something like that.

Marine captains swinging with relic weapon and thunderhammer would get silly boost.
Whv in 9e you didn't attack # of A with every weapon and had to choose?
They didn't want to double melee power vs 9e
I mean you could just give guilliman a combined weapon profile, or halve the attacks on each weapon, but yeah I do agree it's not something that needs to happen imo.
I wonder how they will separate cc weapons options for the Warriors? My bet would be that Swords and Claws will be cc Warriors only, and Talons for both. I also think that Spinefists and Hooks will be cc only. If I am right, the most popular build - Swords and Deathspitters - will be turned illegal.
