Default Single close combat weapon and monstrous creatures?

I see that all of Chaos' Daemons are equipped with a single close combat weapon and nothing else (or any options)...

Is it just me, or should a close combat weapon wield by a monstrous creature (especially a daemonic one) be treated as a power weapon rather than a weak stick?

Good! That's what I wanted to hear! I was looking all over the digital codex to find something that said that, but it must be in the main rule book or something. Fantastic.

Thanks for the response!

The DP also can reroll Difficult Terrain tests, and automatically passes the Leadership test required to target enemy units other than the closest, are Fearless, and immune to Instant Death!

and yet i still hear so many local chaos players calling the new prince a load of poo...

okay, so maybe they're nowhere near as insane as they used to be with things like +D6 attack & the 'beasts' rule letting them potentially assault 18" in one turn combined with infiltrate...
still though, they're dead cheap pts-wise and you can still get them flying.

cheers!

Hey, I'm not griping! I love the DP, hehe. Especially one dedicated to Tzeencth, armed with Warptime and Bolt of Change. Add wings and it's still only 200pts. Not to metion a +4 Invunerable!
