Quick question, can the sarg replace both his BP and chainsword with two hand flamers?, i know he can do that with plasma pistols right? so the dual hand flamers should be possible?

Yes, since he can replace his BP and/Or CCW, he can:

Exchange just the Bolt Pistol for a weapon listed, or exchange just the CCW for a weapon listed.

Or

Exchange the Bolt Pistol for a weapon listed and Exchange the CCW for a weapon listed.

It can be done. I'm not sure of the usefulness unless you're going with flamers in the squad as well, though. You won't get precision shots from them, and while it'll provide a lot of Overwatch fire, the squad ideally shouldn't be being charged anyway.

Combined with the Gunslinger rule, it's a lot a firepower before a charge.

It's an easy way to get yourself out of charge range...but that's delving into tactics. Ruleswise, I see nothing stopping it.

I love flamers, dude can have two, dude is getting two! ha, Yes but with deepstriking BA's if luckly on the dice roll you dont need to worry about the charge range, and if you do have to flamers probably wont be in range, combined with 2 normal flamers thats 4 d3 of auto hits per overwatch

What? Give up on precision shots?
Never.
Flamer x2 in the unit, and 2x Plasma pistols for sarg.
Resolve flamers first to clear out pesky normal guys, then apply the plasma hits.

I have been model-ing loads of WYSIWYG models today and yesterday I do have a dual plasma gunslinger and a few power sword power axes sargs and a couple of PF BP (was tempted to do bolter PF as per my DC). Thinking about it, i need dual infernus pistols now!

Cant say I have ever really used precision shots tbh, but I was thinking of having flamer squads, plasma squads and the melta guys,

With the Sergeant duel wielding the appropriate pistol for the squad?
Have to admit, that would look pretty awesome.

Yes mate, I have spent a small fourtune in bitz!. they are BA's with a different colour scheme, not that I can paint, but they have the DC or Sang guard shoulder pads, and a few helmets in there too
