Do combat familiars use the characters weapon? or are they just AP- and str 4>?
I know the daemon prince rule smash overides this. But lets say a chaos lord has a power axe... are the familiar attacks str5 ap2 or just str 4 ap -?

Smash is a rule that applies to all attacks made by the model. A power axe profile is only used when attacks are made with the axe.

Can't a model only attack with one weapon? Does the combat familiar count as a separate entity?
Looking at the black mace example... 1. Daemon prince attacks 2. black mace has ap4. 3. attacks have ap2 ule because of MC 4. the combat familiar attacks at str4 ap - 5. attacks get ap2 str 4 6. model is still attacking with weapon so are those two extra attacks fleshbane ap2 or just str4 ap2?

Combat familiars, if they follow the trend, are seperate attacks like tail attacks that do not benefit from smash.

There have been countless discussion on this and the conclusion by RAW is the attacks from Combat Familiars benefit from the ap2 of Smash because the attacks count as being done by the model with the smash rule (and doesn't make an exception like HoW does)
