Subject: World Eaters Army: best loadout when kit bashing a box of Bezerkers and Marines

Blood Sacrifice to Khorne

I'm building a new WE army. I have a box of Berzerkers and sprues for 10 Chaos Space Marines that came in the Start Collecting CSM box.
I want to kit bash and optimize the loadouts between these two units. I'm trying to focus on melee because it's WE.
I've come up with 2 potential loadouts based on my available options:
Loadout 1 Khorne Berzerkers:
Berzerker Champion - left hand: Power fist; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Icon of Wrath; right hand: Chainaxe; body: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Bolt pistol; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Bolt pistol; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Bolt pistol; right hand: Chainsword
Loadout 1 Chaos Space Marines:
Aspiring Champion - left hand: Power sword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol; body: Flamer
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Loadout 2 Khorne Berzerkers:
Berzerker Champion - left hand: Power fist; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Icon of Wrath; right hand: Chainsword; body: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Loadout 2 Chaos Space Marines
Aspiring Champion - left hand: Power sword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol; body: Flamer
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - both hands: Boltgun; body: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - both hands: Boltgun; body: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - both hands: Boltgun; body: Bolt pistol
I was originally going for Loadout 1, but now I'm starting to lean towards Loadout 2. Limited to those sprues, what do you think is the best loadout?

Since Berserkers can be troops again I would recommend just building all of them up as Berserkers (there's really no need for special distinctions between them). As for weapons, I usually model what is the coolest because the zerk box doesn't come with enough for outfitting the full squad with just axes or swords.
In short, as long as you don't use any of the special or heavy weapons (Power Fist, plasma guns, etc), just model whatever you want and declare them all to be berserkers. Point for point they are far more useful than CSM and visually there isn't much of a difference if you paint them all red.

Chain Axes and Chain Swords on everyone. Maybe a Power Axe/Chainsword for the Aspiring Champion. Maybe a pair of Lightning Claws.

You should try to use as many parts of the CSM box as possible. The 'Zerker sprues are ancient (iirc 2nd ed). Nearly all of the arms are 90 degrees from the chest and look totally static so it's hard to even come up with a different pose for all of the 2nd legs and as they come on sprues of 4 you get them three times...

I bought a few Chaos Space Marines left handed chainswords.
With that, I've decided on the following loadout for my two units:
Khorne Berzerkers:
Berzerker Champion - left hand: Power fist; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Chainaxe
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Chainsword
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainaxe; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Icon of Wrath; right hand: Chainsword; body: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Khorne Berzerker - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marines:
Aspiring Champion - left hand: Power sword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Plasma pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol; body: Flamer
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
Chaos Space Marine - left hand: Chainsword; right hand: Bolt pistol
I think I'll keep Berzerkers as Berzerkers and Chaos Space Marines as Chaos Space Marines, for a few different reasons, but mainly because I'm picky about the way my army looks and behaves.
