Need advice on my list
Queen — Mesh Armor, Plasma Pistol, Shock Whip, - Spring Up,
Death Maiden — Mesh Armor, 2x Stiletto Sword, Chem-synth - Combat Virtuoso
Matriach — Stiletto Knife, Needle Rifle - Dont know what talent
Sister (Specialist) — Chem thrower
Sister — Lasgun
Sister — Lasgun
Little Sister — Stiletto Knife, Stub Gun
Little Sister — Stiletto Knife, Stub Gun
Little Sister — Las pistol, las pistol (rule of cool )

queen:
be mindful you can't use the pistol in versatile range: perhaps 2 whips or a non-versatile combination could be more optimized?

deathmaiden
the talent is good but spring up is possibly better?

matriarch
1-2 grenade launchers could upgrade to gasammo with chems and you use smoke ammo,
a mobile plasma gun could also be usefull (+2 to hit at short range)

specialist chem thrower,
I would avoid this weapon till later in the campaign
(or possible switch the chemthrower to the matriarch and one of the above choices to the specialist)

If you switch the Chem thrower, sprint is interesting to position then hit them the next turn.

Ok i will drop chem on matriarch with spring! mbdowngrade specialist for regular sister with lasun drop one Juve, and add clan chymist ?

I like to do a shock whip and a bolter on my Queen. I play her as a long range fighter that will whip you if you get too close.

I think you have too many little sisters, maybe drop one of the mirrors and the chem thrower and pick up a grenade launcher and some more sisters and/or a wyld runner (if you like the idea of building towards swarms of cats).

Starting with a chemyst is usually a good idea, she come with Fixer and eventually pays for herself. She also gives you realistic access to their chem mechanic.

There is no need to "downgrade" your specialist. Definitely take one regardless of the weapon you give them.
