I have not yet played a game with my CD, they are in the making. But I have made and played around with many list in AB, and ofc read many lists here in the forum.
It seems to me that CD are more competitive at 2500+.
I love them at 1600 points, but they are also very awesome at 1800 (in both cases i played a list without a destroyer (duh)). On so low points they become very, very effective.
I’ve also found them to be very competitive at 1600. I’ve played them a few times at 2K with a K’daii, and in that scenario it seems to be that if they can deal with Mr. FieryDoom then I’m hard-pressed, otherwise I’m golden. I’m looking forward to trying out a dual Iron Daemon list though, which just isn’t feasible until 2400 at least.

I’d say we’re close to a tier 1 army at 1,300 points because that’s when we can field a K’daii Destroyer. And he’s quite capable of wiping out an army that small all by his lonesome.
