I like list two quite a bit. A cc Nid list is unexpected ... cc tyrants for a 2+ 'look out sir' will get into combat and rip units apart. A Dima behind your lines is nasty too.
That said list one has elements that are useful in today's meta ... lots of fast ObSec, sacrificial units, plenty of AA, AT AI.

I do have a third list but it is more a 'tongue in cheek' list.

Honestly, i like list number 3 haha However, beetween the 2 first lists, go ahead and pick list 1. I like the quick pressure, especially vs necrons haha Happy gaming !

I like them both. I will vote for number two, just because running strong CC is "counter meta" and that might make the difference.

#1. Skyblight was the best Formation of the bunch in a competitive setting before Pentyrant and other lists including Forge World became normal. People still don't generally have a consistent answer to that many flyers, and Objective Secured Gargoyles are a big deal.
