My reading of the rules says yes, but I want to make sure before I attach the weapon to the model!

Cheers

Yes. According to the table in the ad mech army book all 3 titans can mount it.
One of my favourite weapon combinations for a reaver at the moment is twin quake cannons and a multi launcher.

Really? I didn't think Warhounds could have a quake cannon.

Under the old rules they couldn't, but according to the AM book they can (assuming "D" refers to a Warhound). Dunno if it's a misprint or not.

Voted yes it can, but in my opinion it shouldn't!

Ooh, a pair of Warhounds each with twin quake cannons would be eeeevil!

Rules as written state the warhound can carry the Quake Cannon, though I suspect that shouldn't be the case. A pair on a warhound might be a good way of hunting down eldar titans! It is a template weapon, but not artillery.
I think Reavers carrying them are fine, it gives them an option outside the Volcano Cannon for long range firing.

Hi Jodrell, I spotted that as well which is why I was wondering if it was maybe a misprint. Someone switch on the Primarch signal! We need answers!

I know it says yes
I use only Reaver/Warhound weapons on Warhounds (VmB, PlasmaBlastgun, Rocket Launcher, Turbolaser Destructor and Flamer) it feels right to me adn if I am right it was written in the SM/TL rules.
I have seen a lot Warhounds wearing different weapons, though.

That's how I play it as well Ulrich. Quake Cannons on Warhounds seems a bit too powerful for me!

I suspect the warhound mark for the quake cannon is a misprint, it is just amusing. I always played in SM2/TL tthat reavers could carry most of the weapons, battle reports in white dwarf did feature them carrying the larger weapons so that would have been what GW wanted.
