'''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|titan-class vehicles]].{{Fn|11a}} Several races are known to fit such weapons to their titans, including the [[Imperium]]{{Fn|21b}}, [[Eldar]]{{Fn|32}} and [[Orks]].{{Fn|41c}}
== 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{{Fn|32}} or are themselves extremely short-ranged energy weapons of surpassing power, such as the Imperial Laser Burner.{{Fn|53}} 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.

====Reaper Chainsword====
The '''Reaper Chainsword''' is a smaller type of Titan chainsword carried by [[Imperial Knight]]s. 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.{{Fn|97}}

====Thunderstrike Gauntlet====
The '''Thunderstrike Gauntlet''' is a smaller type of Titan power fist carried by [[Imperial Knight]]s. 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 Tank]]s through the air to land amongst the enemy and crush them beneath the vehicle's weight.{{Fn|97}}

===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 [[Starcannon]]s.
