The subject pretty much says it all. I might be buying my first primaris kits and I was wondering how much interchangeability there is between the two arms. I know the rest of the armor is different (chest, legs, heads) but I was curious about the arms. If anyone has any pics as well, please post/link them as my google fu is weak and didn't turn up anything.

Yup. Swapping the arms is fine but there’s a couple of caveats though.

One shoulder pad of the Reivers is built in as it is smaller than the normal shoulder pad so unless you were happy with the odd smaller shoulder pad you would need to carve those down. Also, some primaris models (easy build) have built in shoulder pads or funny joins so they might need a bit of work. If you have the main kits you should see a lot of compatibility though.

Thanks. I looked at the sprues but didn't notice the smaller shoulder pad although I did obviously notice that one arm has a pad. I just assumed it was a separate piece. I was just interested in using some fo the Reiver arms on Intercessors and vice versa to get a bit more variety in the poses. I wasn't sure if the lengths matched up though as well as maybe even the overall girth.
