I have this idea of making a counts as space marine army of bounty hunters and pirates.

My idea was to use SM bodies but use alternate heads and strip down the power backpack from the Armour.

I was thinking of using catachan arms instead of armored arms as well as catachan legs.

Is there any other cheap alternative for bulky arms and legs around?

Chaos Marauders from AoS line would make good alternatives.

Space Pirate?...

Had nearlly the exact same plan for a goofy chaos space marine pirate warband using the arganought ironclad as a void vessel.

for powerful arms use fantasy chaos guys.
bloodreavers? blood something something?

I went as far as using Ogre kingdom arms for my Space Leopards. They do come out a bit large, and I had to shave the shoulders of the ogre arms into the top pauldron of the armor, but they look decent, and I found the arms cheap on bitz sites. Pictures in my gallery, or here, in particular the vanguard veterans:
