So, back in 6th/7th Ed, Carcharodons had rules for their Chapter.

Reavers of the Outer Darkness: All models with Chapter
Tactics (Carcharodons) gain the Fear special rule. In addition,
any model in a Tactical squad with the Reavers of the Outer
Darkness Chapter Tactic special rule may exchange a boltgun
they are already equipped with for a close combat weapon
(eg, chainsword/combat blade) for free or be equipped with an
additional close combat weapon for +1 point per model. Such
changes must be represented on the model.

What are people doing with their Carcharodon tactical marines in 8th ed that are carrying chainswords?

No one?

What about playing them as grey hunters?

**Infantryman**

WYSIWYG isn't a rule, so you can just keep right on using the same model.

**ChargerIIC**

They are jumpack less assault marines at this point, aren't they?

**Slayer-Fan123**

I'd say, if they got their Bolters, treat them as Sternguard, with the Chainsword representing that extra attack.

Crusaders maybe ?
