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]
Contents
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 Chainfist
Titan Chainsword
Reaper Chainsword
The Reaper Chainsword is a smaller type of Titan chainsword carried by Imperial Knights. Though only the height of three men, the Reaper's adamantine teeth are no less deadly: swung with all the power of the Knight's servo-motors, the Reaper is capable of cleaving through practically anything, from the thick ferrocrete walls of a defensive bunker to a Super-Heavy Vehicle. The very sound of this chainsword has been known to cause enemies to flee.[9]
Titan Power Claw
Titan Power Fist
Thunderstrike Gauntlet
The Thunderstrike Gauntlet is a smaller type of Titan power fist carried by Imperial Knights. Crackling with destructive energies, the Thunderstrike Gauntlet allows the Knight to rip apart its enemy, even tearing limbs off of Titans. When used as a bludgeon instrument the gauntlet releases a deafening thunderclap upon impact, so powerful it is capable of hurling Battle Tanks through the air to land amongst the enemy and crush them beneath the vehicle's weight.[9]
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
Types of Titan Power Lances include the Cerastus Shock Lance.
Hekaton Siege Claw
This close-range weapon can smash vehicles and buildings asunder.
