Ok so after looking at the Nid kill team how does the BSLW (Bone Sword Lash Whip) work as a H2H Wep?

Say for example I have a Nid Alpha with a Pair or Scything Talons and a BSLW and I charge a guy and I go to pick a weapon to use do I pick from my 3 options?
And if I say pick the Bone Sword does my enemy still lose an attack from the lash whip?
And because the Bone Sword and Lash whip have separate weapon profiles does that mean I have 3 H2H weapons and I'm at 5 attack dice instead of 4?
And if the BSLW counts as one weapon does that mean I get -3 save from the BS and then get to add another -1 from the lash whip?

As it stands I'm leaning to the 3 weapon profiles so 3 H2H weapons, and the Lash Whip rules don't say you have to attack with it so t think it still works.

Ok, so per the rules for the Tyranid Warrior kill team.

1. If a fighter has more than two pairs of arms... This only applies to the Ravener. All Warriors have exactly two pairs of arms and therefore do not get an extra Attack dice.

2. Per the rules for multiple close combat weapons (pages 41-42), each hit is divided up amongst the used weapons.

In your example, you would roll 4 Attack dice (base 3 +1 for two weapons). Your opponent would roll -1 Attack dice (to a minimum if 1).

Assuming you win, with for example 4 hits, 1 hit would be with the Bonesword, 1 with the Lash Whit, 1 with the Scything Talons, and 1 with your choice of the three profiles.
