Titan Close Combat Weapon (aka Titan CCW or TCCW) is the generic name given to the oversized and extremely deadly close quarters combat weapons fitted to some titan-class vehicles.[1] Several races are known to fit such weapons to their titans, including the Imperium[2], Eldar[3] and Orks.[4]

Titan Close Combat Weapon Types

For vehicles as large as titans "close combat" is a relative term, essentially starting once the enemy has gotten within the vehicle's defensive shield perimeter. Accordingly, titan close combat weapons are often large enough to mount additional secondary ranged weapon systems, as in the case of the Eldar Phantom Titan Power Fist[3] or are themselves extremely short-ranged energy weapons of surpassing power, such as the Imperial Laser Burner.[5] Most typically, however, titan close combat weapons resemble standard close combat weapons used by the infantry of the race that built the titan, but on a stupendous scale and utilising essentially the same technologies.

Types

Titan Power Claw

Reaver Titan with Titan-class Power Fist

Titan Power Glaive

Known also as the Ashuna-Valcry'le, roughly translated as 'Sleepless Harbinger of Destruction', the Power Glave is one of the less-common weapons wielded by an Eldar Phantom Titan. In addition to its deadly close combat blades the weapon also mounts two Starcannons.

Titan Power Lance
