Yes you can.

Nice time to kill those damn daemons.MOHAHA

If you are taking two power weapons, you might want to stick with two normal ones, or two specialist weapons. You have the choice to use either weapon, with the extra attack for having two, so might as well get some options.

i.e. If you have an axe in one hand and a sword in the other, you get to choose which one to use. Same thing with a lightning claw/powerfist.

Just something to keep in mind. Besides looks, there is no mechanical reason to take 2xswords when you have the option to take one sword and one axe/maul/spear.

I would mix up the weapons as suggested. the claw and PF is a good idea.

Remember, you only get +1 attack for have 2 CCW.

What Nevelon said: Take two different weapons that have the "Specialist" rule, or take two different weapons that do not have it.
Daemons won't care about your power weapons, since they have an innate invuln.

Also, please post your rules questions in YMDC, not in Army Lists.

I'd recommend either Lightning Claw & Power Fist/Thunder Hammer for specialist weapons (pricey but very effective) or the Power Maul & Power Axe for regular weapons (cheaper and gives you good options against all non-vehicle targets)

If you take 2 power weapons, I recommend a power sword and a power axe. You'll get +1A either way and can choose between AP3 at initiative or +1str AP2 at I1.

Another combo, a more expensive one, is a Chainfist and Lightning Claw. You also get +1A and can either be I1 AP2 with armorbane or hit at initiative with AP3 Shred.

You need to watch exactly how the models get the weapons. A lot of the time the entry in the army list will say "may swap weapon a for:" - meaning you lose the original weapon in an upgrade. Of course, you can only do this as long as you have the necessary weapons to trade in.

You'll find that while Captains can take two power weapons, most other Characters (and I'm *fairly* sure Sergeants are included) cannot.

Sergeants can in the vanilla codex. They have the "may swap their bolter and/or bolt pistol for stuff"

You'd be better off with a Power Mace against Daemons, for the most part. Probably even for Princes and Bloodthirsters, since you can wound them easier.

If you have the points to spring for it, you might be better off with a Fist or T-Hammer, since you are slower than either anyways.
