YOU CALLED?
Oddly enough I had started working on this one and let myself get distracted with the newest
Treme ...
FWIW I like the first list better, as Throgg & crew are more interesting than yet another unit of knights. I suppose the other list is 'better' but it's also pretty boring. And anyway, were you going for cut-throat competitive? I guess 'tournament' infers that, though some of us go for the fun and mayhem of tournies too
Here's my shot at #1:
L: Sorcerer Lord -
MoT, level 4, enchanted shield, golden eye, puppet, scroll, roar, disc = 430
H: Throgg = 175
C: 18 Warriors -
MoK, full command, halberds, shields = 366
C: 18 Warriors -
MoK, full command, halberds, shields = 366
C: 5 Horsemen - musician, flails = 81
C: 5 Warhounds = 30
C: 5 Warhounds = 30
S: 7 Trolls = 270
S: 5 Knights -
MoN, standard, musician = 260
S: 5 Knights -
MoK, musician = 240

ftw too, man that thing is beautiful.
Throgg > Score!
Warriors > I think these are huge overkill, and I also don't think you need the halberds but I figure maybe it's a modeling thing. There's no way you need rapturous on them, you're pretty boned if they aren't winning! Though maybe it was for holding a flank charge or something? Let's try to avoid that, eh? Also champs are cheap and pretty decent at this size, and 'full command' rolls off the tongue so well.
Horsemen > Yep, musician is a good idea. Light armor too but no points.
Warhounds > Moar puppies! For all those frenzy dudes, as well as puppy duties.
Trolls > Check, trollstar needs trolls.
Knights > Raging nurgle knights are a cheap trick
IMO, avoid the comp hit and flat out go kr0n with some controllable backup.
So no, not huge changes. List has potential with some serious heavy hitters, though the hard part will be convincing anybody to tango with either uber block or the trollstar ...

. It's works almost like the bat symbol!! Did you mean to leave one of the units of knights as nurgle? I'm betting they're all supposed to be mark of khorne.
. I'd also wonder what in this list could handle big, nasty characters (I'm assuming the knights?)
except for the sorcerer, but I suppose that can't be helped...
