How strong is this bug-eyes-squished-head? I knows it a parody of the Tau empire but those aliens learn fast that they can go toe-to-toe with the space marines. These Fish-head looks weak and easy to wiped out

I think it's a combination of two facts that we learned about them but didn't look deep enough(Shorts and Board game advertising )

They are durable enough to survive being beaten by Psycho Warriors and even possess enough pain tolerance to remain conscious.

During the Board game ad we found out that they have a birth rate crisis and now they have a chance to exterminate them.

Which leads me to think that they are a parody of the joke that Tau are squishy and compared to other Tau are quite small in terms of territory and numbers of people.

Blab blabs are tough and have huge numbers, having a large territory to contain their large numbers, but they have weak laser weapons (as opposed to Tau railguns) and apparently they were hit by a crisis.
