Basically a friend wants to test his 800 points of Tau before a doubles tournament so asked for a game which I want to run the Cohort Cybernetica formation.
Details of both lists (not 100% on his list but know some things).

CM
Dominus
-Serpenta
-Eradication ray
-Conversion field
-Relic that gives IWND

Kastellan maniple
-Phosphor and TL Phosphor

Kastellan maniple
-Phosphor and TL Phosphor

Tau
Ghostkeel x 3
-Fusion blasters
-Ion Raker
-EWO (only 1 has this but may just be asthetics)
-Stealth drones x 2 per Ghostkeel

Stealth team
-3 burst cannons
-Fusion blaster

Stealth team
-4 burst cannons
-Fusion blaster

I suck at being competitive and haven't used CM before so please help me try cheese the cheese!

EDIT* Forgot the drones!

this is gonna be a weird matchup. what's the mission? You can only contest one objective, and he can grab a Relic before you. The robots are sure to win King of the Hill or simple Kill Points, but in any other mission the Tau can sit on more objectives than you.

Found out it's for the Battle Brothers at Warhammer World so it may be any Maelstrom of War missions.

then the bots will probably walk 6 inches a turn and be sad.

if it's for a doubles tournament then you should both add 800 points of um tactical squads or something generic. or as many points as you can scrounge up of a different faction you're familiar with.

^ because neither of those 800 point armies will be very good by themselves, but they both have lots of potential in the right doubles matchup
