Lion? If you're a human in 40k you're more likely to be a mangy street cat forced to work in a factory processing other cats into fancy feast. Fuck yeah I'll be the Taus little pet over that, I can work in at a space turnip farm or something, maybe they'll give me little human treats.

Tau are afaik smaller and lighter than humans they have also have worse eyesight and reflexes than humans....which mind you doesnt matter often since Tau usually have much more powerful weaponry. But you are right that humans probably could act as shock troops within the Tau forces for city combat as an example.

I guess from their perspective it's like having a detachment of armored machine gun apes, which would be horrifying to watch clear a building
