Just a quick one - reading through the Autarch list, and as default he comes with a Shuriken Pistol. With the ability to also add a 2 handed weapon and a one handed weapon; am I correct in assuming the 2 handed weapon replaces the pistol? i.e. you can't have a Fusion Gun and a sword, and expect to get the +1A from the pistol and sword...

You only lose a weapon if the codex entry says "replace". If it just says "add", then you don't lose the other weapon. The old limitation on how many weapons a model could carry, from 3rd/4th edition, no longer exists.

You are incorrect. He has a pistol, the option for another 1-handed weapon, and the option for a 2-handed weapon.

He can have 3 weapons total, but that's no problem. Everyday Marines in CSM all have 3 weapons.

He can have all three.

Pistol.
one handed ccw (lance/power weapon)
two handed weapon.

Nothing says 'replaced'.

Paint his skin dark green and say that he is "Armed to da teef!"
