Greetings all - I need advice!

I've a Swarmlord I'm building and I've got a set of Hydracast's blades to use. I'm not sure if I want to go all out and just have them or use a pair of them and a pair of the regular swords for the Swarmlord - below are photos of the two options and I need help choosing!

I like that the plastic swords have more angles than just up/down. Can you shift the angle of the resin ones? The longer hooked swords feel they might be better suited to the upper arms? Not one of the options you made.

IMHO the swarmlord should be using 4x of the same weapon, it’s one of his defining characteristics. To me, he looks off with a mixed load.

(If you do go with plastic, don’t forget the hand guards)

Yeah I've tried the bioblades in the upper arm sockets, but its not a look I favour. And yes blades can move with the socket design so I can try a few different poses, but I do agree they are a slightly bit more limited in pose style compared to the blades.

I think that's why I'm starting to learn more toward using both rather than going all bioswords
