Although it is a really nice sprue the Escher kit only comes with a couple of autoguns and autopistols. Since it is pretty tempting to try running a 5 girl gun team I was wondering what people's thoughts were on getting autogun/pistol bits for them from elsewhere.

I think if you keep to GW parts you are limited to carving them off of DV cultists?

Until the FW weapon packs come out, your best bet for Escher would more likely be GSC Neophytes, which has IIRC 7 Autoguns on the sprue(and the same number of Shotguns). You only get one autopistol I think, the best source of those would be GSC Acolytes as they have five in a box - I'd bitz order the pistols in any case since the Acolyte bitz are less useful in general outside of GSC.

The Cultist autos I think will actually be better for Goliath conversions as I believe they're slightly chunkier - I saw someone use one in combination with Stubcannon arms and the left hand from a Catachan lasgunner to good effect.

Oh, handy tip about the Neophytes. I didn't realise they had autoguns.

I would definitely grab some from Anvil Industries Regiments range, either AR-15's or AK-47's
