X25, X38 and X52 might be of interest to you. They have a US distributor

As for Chainsaws, the only ones I can think of are on GW Bloodbowl
figures.

There is a much better example on an older Goblin BB player, which
should still be available through mail order; I can't find a picture on
the Stuff of Legends website, but the reference number in the old
Citadel catalogue (which I conveniently had on my desk !) is 073387/24.
There's also a human chainsaw wielder, 073387/1. Assuming you can get
hold of either model, it shouldn't be too hard to separate them from
their chainsaws.
