{{OrksPortal}}
Orks manning Walkers walker vehicles 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 the average [[Choppa]], taking forms on the form of buzzing saws, giant [[chainfist]]s, huge drills, bigger versions of [[Power Klaw]]s or anything in between. 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.
==[[Killa Kan]] and [[Deff Dread]] sized==
Also known as '''[[Dreadnought close combat weapons''' ]] (also reffered referred to as Power Shears, Buzz Saws, Drillas and Crushas) these are featured on [[Killa Kan]]s and [[Deff Dread]]s, sometimes by up to four on a single walker, allowing it to crush an enemy in a blurry flurry of attacks.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|11}}

These weapons are mounted on [[Mega Dread]]s and [[Meka Dread]]s.
===Rippa Klaw===
As well as more common weapons, Mega Dreads often feature '''Rippa Klaws''', a set of huge metal claws that are especially handy in ripping vehicles apart and destroying buildings.{{Fn|2}}

==[[Stompa]] and [[Gargant]] sized==
Also known as '''Titan close combat weapons''', these monumental weapons are often surrounded by a crackling enegry energy field and confer the walker impossible strength, allowing it to crush super-heavy tanks like fruit.{{Fn|8}}
===Krusha Ball===
Some Stompas feature an 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|9}}
