Walker manning Orks retain their passion for close combat and so almost every Ork walker will feature some kind of close combat weapon. These are as varied as average [[Choppa]], taking forms on buzzing saws, giant [[chainfist]]s or bigger versions of [[Power Klaw]]s. All of them are deadly up close, ignoring any armour and striking with enormous strength, and some give some additional advantages. Bigger walkers commonly feature bigger and more deadly weapons.
Also knowh as Dreadnought Close combat weapons these are featured on [[Killa Kan]]s and [[Deff Dread]]s, sometimes by four on a single walker, allowing it to crush an enemy in a blurry of attacks.

Also knowh as Titan Close combat weapons, these monumental weapons are often surrounded by a crackling enegry field and confer the walker impossible strength, allowing it to crush super-heavy tanks like fruit.{{Fn|9}}
===Krusha Ball===
Some Stompas feature unusual weapon, known as the Krusha Ball, a huge chunk of scrap metal on a chain, which is mounted on a Stompa's arm in place of the regular close combat weapon. Its swings cause immense devastation, krushing everything in its path: soldiers, vehicles, buildings and terrain. However, it is not without its risks. If the backswing is too much, it will smash back into the Stompa, causing immense damage to the Stompa itself.{{Fn|10}}
