Double post, sorry.

Nothing?

There seems to be no unit capable of summoning the daemons in the 2nd list.
I think both lists lack a little assault elements, and I would go for another unit of mutants instead of the DP.

Army builder format sucks

Sorry if I am reading this incorrectly. Do you have the required 2 max troop units in list A & B (I'm not up on my gibbering hordes unit size so that could be it)? Also is the Dark Apostle an arch heretic stand in or is that an ally (if ally do you have therequired HQ).

Enough of that though. I prefer list A. Both have excellent ordnance firepower. A has a nice slew of mutant baddies for HTH and the demonettes can be summoned by the infiltrating troopers.
List B's use of word bearer's is fine and this is actually styled how I feel a "real" chaos marine list would look like, but I have a personal preference for non 3+ save in an LATD list unless its in the form of bloodletters of course (just to be different from the standard marine).

In both lists, the Gibbering Hordes are the second compulsiary Troop choice. Also the Aspiring Champions are the required Troop choice.

I am leaning towards list "A" myself.
