so last time i was flipping through the rulebook i noticed the section "terrain and cover" which talks about how cover is now +1 to armor saves blah blah blah. but it only mentions units in cover and in terrain. says nothing about other models providing cover, aka shooting through an enemy.... is this true? do models really not convey cover to one another anymore?

They REALLY don't!

Please forget everything you learned in 7th, it has no bearing on 8th.

Even enemy models don't give enemy models cover from your shooting attacks?

Have a read though the rulebook and tell me if any rules mention that. If they don't, then they don't. It's that simple.

They can block LOS though

you'd need some beefy models for that and a lot of them. Not a reliable tactic
