The tau are more slimy than pure. Every single race that has subject themselves to their rule has been somwhat enslaved and ensnared into a treaty they can't get out of eternally subjecting them to the ethereals' wills. Think of modern diplomacy and politics and how countries subvert each other through treaties and deals that make them more dependant on a higher power bit by bit through subversion and influence until they can't get out of it. It's pretty safe to assume anything a water caste diplomat is saying at any point to an inferior race is either a outright lie or somewhat cleverly arranged half truth. That type of conversation implies the other side is actually willing to listen. They are naive in the sense they can't expect what's coming to them because when you send spies and students on a cultural exchange program too leech off another country's technological resources I really doubt them coming back as a folding fan is in your list of worries.
>Ok we shall grant them further industrial infraestructure with earth caste engineers in exchange for help in defeating the greenskins next door but little do they know this will destabilise their national market with our competition leading to their own economy becoming reliant on my products and technology over theirs. I will also promote my own culture subtly as a superior way of life to theirs sk they adopt the greater good and demand their ruling class does so too
>YOUR KIND SHALL NOT STEP FOOT ON THIS PLANET FOR YOUR VILE MACHINATIONS ARE TECH HERESY AND INSULT THE OMNISSIAH WE SHALL BANISH YOU BACK
What the fuck are you even supposed to do.
It's that early Better Call Saul shtick of someone lying or sneaking their way into a situation that gets increasingly worst for them as they dont expect the consequences for it while trying to come out as the smartass and suddenly having adapting to everything at a fast pace

Just kitbash them man it's literally the easiest most basic kitbash anyone can humanly come up with and at least half of all serious tau players have done 1 or 2

This is what we should get new models for

I actually hate covenant tau. Tau should be neoimperialist dipshits abusing the everloving fuck out of their auxilliary allies who do so out of necessity rather than brotherhood (or outright brainwashing like the vespids or SOME gue'las), they should by all means be second class citizens in an already caste based society, the lowest of the low designated to do the dirty work that drones are too expensive for and no other caste is resignated to do, like mining and bullet sponging. So far GW has done a stellar job at this because warhammer fans are too retarded to notice it being subtler like in the older codexes.
However... Battlesuit wank can get really repetitive. I believe adding some new auxilliaries to spice things up tabletop-wise is absolutely the correct choice for their faction moving forward, alongside giving us some much needed updated battlesuits. Vespids and kroot hounds are an absolute joy to fight with and they really do feel like they patch the holes the tau themselves don't fill, which just compliments the fluff-tabletop dynamic oh so nicely. It's more of a gameplay issue than a fluff issue im fine with them being second place specially since the tau themselves are way more interesting as a society and culture than any other of their second hands.
