Fighting with multiple weapons?
You may call me ignorant to the obvious if you want, but on entries like the excecutioners, you'll notice they are equipped with both a hand weapon and a great weapon.
now to that my question is; can you choose which one of those you will fight with at the start of a comabt?
if anyone knows anything about this, post it cause i'm in the dark on it.

Note, however, that a character with a magic weapon cannot choose but has to use the magic weapon.
Unless otherwise stated in the rules of course, ie. Bretonians Characters can use a mundane lance on the charge and then switch to thier magical weapons in following rounds. That's the only exception I can think of, so don't look too shocked if a Bret character does that to you.

IE Bretonnians are smarter than all the other heroes in warhammer, because they know that situationally +2S may be better than whatever else you're using.
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Yer thats good if yr brets, but as for me with my CoK i aim to break on the first turn of charging so it doesnt matter to me.
Somwhere out there is Inquisitor Horatio Caine investigating cults of slaanesh
Caine looks around seeing bits of cultists on the ground
Inq Caine: Well it looks like these cultists
*puts on glasses*
Inq Caine: Have gone to pieces

You'll notice alot of bretonian Generals, when they do take a magic weapon, it either will be a lance itself, or they'll forgo the lance in favour of the magical weapon.
As SulverHeimdall said, no cavalry actually "swaps" its lance after the charge, the rules for the lance only take on the turn they charge. We all picture them dropping the lance to the ground and drawing swords anyway. I was actually expecting them to lower cavalry costs over the course of 7th Edition and make them only effective on the first time they charge (ie, lance is broken after that and you don't really carry around spares).

Might suck if the abilities bestowed by carrying a magical weapon aren't put into effect because you had to use a lance. But your right, the fact that they negated the ability for other characters in other books to be able to make the choice is a little bit baffling. Probably used to simplify disputes, i'm sure arguments pop up over which character is using what weapons. If you only expect it from Bretonnian's...well, there's only one set of players to watch doing it.
