what makes you think that the gene-tech would only be human-compatible?

the tyranids have a unit that is based on space marine genome.. (something pretty big that guards the queens)

it is merely a question wether f.e.e certain dna sequences are shared and wether an organ would have to be altered to fit the tau specifications and physognomy

next sidenote: cut him open, check the extra organs  and take out his gene-seed, if they knew what to look for, they'd have enough material to work with it.
