I'm looking to add some Tzanngors to my Chaos army. I noticed on the GW webstore that there is a 40k variant that includes chainswords and pistols. The blades seem much better than CCW+pistol, but there's such a small price difference to get the extra 10 arm pairs for conversions. I've never actually seen these models in person, so it's hard for me to judge the size of the arms. Has anyone used these arms for conversions?

I'm thinking along the lines of the chainswords used on models such as clanrats, plague monks, flaggelants, gors, etc that could make cool Lost and Damned style cultists. I'd be interested in seeing some pictures if anyone has used these arms on other models.

Here I used the auto pistols of tzaangors to make Tzeentch aligned Cultists from the Kairic acolytes kit

Some of my Khorne cultists have those arms:

Nice cultist conversions, I reckon Karic acolytes with these arms would be a good basis for Slanneshi cultists as well.
