Power makes no difference, and isn't very likely to scare someone. Think of it this way, the Chaos Demons look more badass (Except Slaneesh) there is no exceptions on that. BUT the Flood is more like Body Horror re-incarnate, and the Flood isn't rotten Fungi.

Pound for pound it is actually more terrifying to see your friends and families reduced into a horrified mockery of themselves, all the while mimicking their pains and screams while their body is quickly turned into monstrosities. The Chaos Demons and Spawn on the other hand, is at-least Identifiable to a degree, the flood however is just a mass of tentacles and impossible body design. They are essentially the ultimate shape-shifters, with one disguising himself as the Primordial with complete mimicry.
