Quick answer. Use Army 2 because unless I'm missing something Army 1 is only 1222 points.

Longer answer.  Either list looks weak in the tank-busting department. At 1500 points seeing multiple Land Raider lists is very likely.  I would suggest Heavy Destroyers.  Tomb Spyders, a Lord with a warscyth or a C'Tan can mangle AV pretty good as well, but lack the mobility of the Heavy Destroyers.  And of course a Monolith (or two at the very most) at the 1500 point level is an option.  In 5th edition, mobility is king… and as Sun Tzu said, “Rapidity is the essence of war.” 
I didn't get where I am today by worrying about how I was going to feel tomorrow.

take a D-lord with a warscythe for the second list.

dropping a single destroyer+making one unit of 5 will give you points to turn the orb lord into a D-lord /w/warscythe, orb
personally i would also drop a 2nd destroyer to get the first lord a ressurection orb

with these changes this list will be much tougher to kill and will have a warscythe
