Too many eggs in one basket syndrome. First list is good for surgical strikes but terrible at holding objectives. Second list is more balanced but still too much emphasis on the hammer, not enough on the anvil.

Are liberators that bad? My 10 man unit took on 60 ghouls with ghoul king and necromancer (attack twice in a phase, 4 attacks each ghoul, about 30+ attacks coming in per activation) and stood their ground for 3 turns, albeit with help from the lord relictor's lightning storm (-1 to hit), being in cover (+1 save), and having the re-roll 1s on shields. I always take 10 of them, and every time I see a list that has less than 10 I wonder how're you going to hold the line at all, especially against high mobility armies like stormcasts, anything destruction, or FEC.
