N18 Critique my Chaos Corrupted, Genestealer Infected Escher list please 🙏

I think your roster is looking pretty good now.
Taking the Chain Sword from the Aberrant to upgrade a Ganger to a Shotgun wouldn't be a bad move; the Aberrant still has adequate punch without it and a Shotgun is a good starter weapon. This also allows you some room to grow with ammo upgrades for the Shotgun (Executioner and Acid, specifically) and a nice weapon for the Aberrant. I prefer a Power Pick; +1S and -3 AP makes an Abberant's pretty dangerous.
Looking ahead, you'll want to add some fighters and upgrade a few of your existing fighters. Definitely get undersuits for your Death Maiden and your Queen. Another Death Maiden or a Matriarch is a very good idea, as soon as you can afford it. If you get a Matriarch, I'd save up for a Plasma Gun. Your Queen should also get some melee upgrades. A Shock Whip and Plasma Pistol are my usual favorites, but Power Swords/Axes/Hammers also work great, although they're a bit more expensive and risky without Versatile. Your Juves can get Stiletto Knives to go with their pistols. More Sisters with Lasguns (eventually, Hotshot Lasguns) is also a great idea.

I liked your suggestion to drop the chainsword for a shotgun on one of my Sisters because I like a variety of weapons, so I did that, thanks!

Emperor bless you!
Spam load outs are boring. Leave that grox dung for 40k.

Sadly it's hard to really vary Esher Sisters without a lot of Discipline. 5 credit lasguns are just too tempting. I suppose you could vary multiple lasgun sisters with different sights.

You could later branch out and pick up a wyld runner. It's bow and various arrows are interesting variety and you could add a pack of pets for demonic cats or other stand ins just to add to the monster vibe you have.

Regarding Aberrant weapons, my preference is + to hit rather than +S

Pushing the Aberrant into S6 is nice for the 2+ to wound against T3 models, but there are plenty of T4 models in Necromunda against which S6 is no better than S5, and as a campaign progresses you'll be running up against T4+ more.

+1 to hit from the likes of a chainsword works against everything, regardless of toughness and is therefore more universally useful and more of an overall upgrade to the melee prowess of an Aberrant, IMO

I just like ignoring armor saves. Mesh and an Undersuit? No save for you!

This is a nice, thematic modeling opportunity. You could go genestealer or chaos type pets.

Or both! I really, really, like this idea. I've heard Wyld Runners are terrible mechanically. Is that not true?

They aren't terrible, they have ganger stats but their weapon selection is bad.

While I like the bows, the -1 at long range gimps them hard.

You are buying them to field the cats, who are also very pricey and just "ok".

That said I find them quite fun and I love how the bow models look.

I assembled the gang! Here's a picture of the crew all together with some close-ups of the kitbashes I did. I don't know what to put in the hand of my boltgun leader in place of the shock whip yet (pictured).

Get yourself a nice Genestealer claw hand for that Escher leader, sure she hasn't got the "extra hand" rule but she is 3 attacks base

You are just full of good ideas: behold!
