So I have a Monstrous Creature. Due to Smash, all his CC attacks are AP2. What happens if he is wielding a weapon with a profile of AP3? Does Smash override the profile, or does the weapon negate the MC's special rule?

The attacks made are now both AP. 3 and 2. Therefore, all 3+s and greater are ignored. So are all 2+s and greater.

Essentially, it keeps Ap. 3. (I assume this is a Daemon Prince)

I disagree that in Smash's case the attacks have 2 AP values, Smash very clearly tells you to resolve them at AP2, and accordingly, you resolve them at that, not at 2 values simultaneously.

Either way the end result is much the same, that you get the benefits of AP2.

It doesn't matter what the AP of the melee weapon is unless it is AP1. It is resolved as AP2.

For precedent, the Chaos Space Marines FAQ tells us that Daemon Princes can attack at AP2 using the Black Mace (an AP4 weapon).
