Subject: Random thought about why no Chaos Codex -- NOT trolling

Classic example:
In C:CSM 3.5 there used to be this thing called a Dark Blade. It was a +2 Str power weapon. It was also a daemon weapon so everytime you used it you'd have to pass a Ld test or suffer a wound. It was also limited to 1 per army.
Apparently even with the daemon weapon rule and 1 per army restriction a +2 Str power weapon is still just way too powerful (it strikes at Init 5 and wounds SM on a 2+ with no Sv allowed!!!) so when the 4th ed CSM codex came out they removed it. Then they immediately turned around and gave SM relic blades.
In all fairness.... It was a dark angel weapon first
