N18 Newbie Escher Gang

[Delfrys]

Heya, I know there's a few of these threads and I've looked at a few of them, but does this sound ok as a general starter gang for Escher, hopefully to take into a campaign? I'm just trying to put together something well-rounded based on what I've picked up from reading a bunch of other lists and the Goonhammer articles, but have no idea if it works or not...

Gang Leader - Power Sword, Plasma Pistol, Mesh Armour - Spring Up
Matriarch - Plasma Gun, Stub Pistol, Mesh Armour - Dodge
Matriarch - Boltgun, Stub Pistol, Mesh Armour - Dodge
Specialist - Grenade Launcher, Frag, Krak and Smoke Grenades, Stub Pistol
3 x Sisters - Lasgun
Sister - Shotgun with Solid and Scatter Ammo

I'm not tied to this and could get add a Death Maiden instead of something else for example, might have got bit enthusiastic with the box buying! Also the skills I chose were just copy and paste, so if there are any better ones you can suggest that would be great, though will try and avoid overseer if that is the enemy of fun.

Thanks in advance!

It's a solid starting gang. The only thing I would change is to replace the stub guns with lasguns. They are much better backup weapons.

Ah thank you! Would I need to model the lasguns on as well?

Check that with your group but you should be fine saying 'this model also has a lasgun', it becomes an issue when you start saying they have a bolter or plasma as well

Unless, of course, you decide to eventually dual-kit them for close combat (ie, give them a Stiletto Sword, Flail, Chain Sword or other CC weapon) at which point a stub pistol or an auto-pistol is just fine.

Thank you, I don't really know enough about the game to work out what the next steps would be so there will be a lot of playing it by ear!
