IN Warhammer 40,000, Close Combat is used to describe when a target gets into melee range where shooting at them would be a waste of ammunition, so one would fight in hand to hand combat with them. There are many weapons designed for close combat, ranging from a simple Chainsword or Choppa to complex as a Power Weapon. Some armies excel at engaging in close combat, such as Orks, Blood Angels, Khorne Berserkers, and Space Wolves. Armies such as these are usually described as 'choppy', meaning they do well in close combat. Other armies, such as Imperial Guard, Tau, Necrons (and in some cases Eldar) tend to be more 'shooty', having only a few specialist units that can go into close combat without suffering as many casualties.
