Flails; I need some help

Earlier I was trying to attach flails to my Marauders (cuz I didn't want to pay $25 for 20 great weapons) but could not get both arms to attach to the body in a normal looking way. There is hopefully a technique I'm missing to get this done without extensive conversion work, help me brothers in Chaos!

having only attached a few flails (simply because i wanted a few), all i remember is that it took me a while to find a match between a pair of arms and a body.

Not entirely certain, but i think that each set of arms only fits one body. did you try mixing/matching until you got fits?

If it doesn't fit, pinning and filling with green stuff is quick and easy to do, so don't fret :D

Ah, I hadn't considered a specific set of arms for a particular body. That makes things suck a lot more. I'll give that a try and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the tip.

Nope, all works on all. ^_^ It's just a matter of pairing the right arms together. The set of arms then work on any body.

What you do is, put glue on the arm holding the flail, put it on the shoulder, then put glue on the wrist attached to the other hand holding the flail.

Then take the right arm wich is just shoulkder-wrist, and put glue on both ends. Attach the arm to the hand holding the flail, and to the shoulder so that they line up.

Hope that makes sense? Basically glue on both arms to the body and fiddle until they line up.

A good way to tell which arms go together, is look at the bracers (that's the armor on their wrists). They'll match.

They are also located next to eachother on the sprue. ^_^

That's me assuming that he cut them all out at once and mixed them together (which I have done myself in the past :P)
