Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the CC weapon is Subjugator
only.

I'm unfamiliar with the fluff, why is the hellslicer weapon given the
"causes catastrophic damage in CC" rule while all other close combat
weapons are "causes catastrophic damage if the titan wins CC"? Is this
just a typo? If not, can someone point me towards the dwarf issue where
these were first detailed?

Oh, and why would it get 2 rolls?
