The '''Warhammer''' is a heavily armed and moderately [[Armor|armored]] [[Inner Sphere]] [[Heavy Mechs|Heavy Mech]], possessing modest speed and maneuverability.  Able to dish it out and take it in, the Warhammer is a powerful force on the battlefield, capable of shredding [[Light Mechs]] and [[Vehicles]], as well as standing toe to toe against other Heavies.

The '''Warhammer''' is a slow, well-[[armor|armored]] heavy 'mech with a diverse set of loadouts including [[brawlers]], [[skirmishers]], [[generalist]]s, and [[sniper]]s. Generally a good choice for [[tanking]].

The Warhammer possesses a large spotlight that can be turned on with the ['''L'''] key. It functions differently than the standard Mech spotlights, as it has a much longer range. When fighting [[Battle Armor]] in the Warhammer, players can turn on the spotlight to discern the battlearmor from the surroundings. It also has a narrow vertical field of view, which may make it hard to deal with [[Aerospace]] fighters and [[VTOL]]s.

===Prime===
 
===Prime===
−
The Warhammer Prime is the signature mech of Natasha Kerensky. It is also a Knights of the Inner Sphere favorite. With its low price the Prime is a budget favorite and a well-armed mech, possessing a variety of weapons capable of inflicting damage at most any range. 2 [[PPC]]s provide the initial mid-range punch, disorienting enemy mechwarriors with cockpit shake and disabling [[night vision]]. The Prime's mid-range output is supplemented by 2 [[MBL]]s, but it reaches its full damage potential as it closes within 250m. The Prime's 2 [[SBL]]s and an [[SRM6]] allow it to step up its firepower as it closes on its foes. The [[SRM6]] provides the primary defense against [[Battle Armor]], allowing the Warhammer Prime to defend both itself and nearby allies from BA ambushes. Being primarily [[Energy Weapon]] based, the Prime sports five [[Double Heat Sinks]] allowing a disciplined mechwarrior to output fire continuously without fear of excess heat. The Prime has a major difference from all other variants. It is equipped with a standard engine which causes no bonus damage to be transferred to its center from a busted side torso. Spreading damage by torso twisting can allow a Prime ro survive far longer than its already hard to kill brethren. The Prime can often escape damaging encounters that would have destroyed many other mechs. The Warhammer Prime is dangerous mech capable of handling a variety of threats at a variety of ranges.

===Variant A===
 
===Variant A===
−
The Warhammer A is a long range support mech, equipped with weapons meant to dish out damage at extreme range. 2 [[LtGauss]], 1 [[ELRM15]], and a set of [[EOptics]] allow the A variant to sit behind the front lines, supporting its allies while staying away from any return fire. Should any missiles happen to fly its way, a [[LAMS]] helps mitigate any damage the Warhammer A or its allies might take. 2 [[MGun]]s give the Warhammer A some anti-BA punch, while a [[GECM]] suite allows it to stay off the radar of all but the closest enemies. A whopping 5 free tons for ammunition means that the A variant has tremendous staying power, and will rarely, if ever, need to leave the fight to rearm.

===Variant B===
 
===Variant B===
−
The Warhammer B packs 2 [[AC10]]s, a single [[LPL]], 2 [[ERMBL]]s, and 2 [[MG]]s. This loadout allows the B variant to shred Light and [[Medium Mechs|Medium]] Mechs as long as the mechwarrior can lead his weapons properly. The B can also stand face-to-face with most other heavies, their large size making them ideal targets. By chainfiring the 2 [[AC10]]s, the B can maintain a steady stream of cockpit shake, disorienting their enemies. The 2 [[MG]]s allow supplemental firepower against lighter assets, BA, and to a limited extent, enemy aeros. The B has an additional 2 free tons of ammo helping to make it a better mid-range fire support mech. Even with 2 free tons, the Warhammer B can be in need of a short supply line during extended engagements, as its autocannons can become very ammo hungry during intense firefights. The B suffers at long-range combat, but utilizing its [[GECM]] can prevent early detection and long-range confrontations.
+
Good [[sniper]] effective at [[screen shake|suppressing]] other snipers in open terrain. Can lead a [[push]] onto an [[objective]] if needed.

===Variant C===
 
===Variant C===
−
Nothing reaches beyond 500 meters on this one - [[GECM]] suite ensures not even radar microwaves. With the least of an firing discipline the four [[LPPC]] can be fired indefinitely and in short succession - rendering any opponent blind at night, out to 440m. This sole property renders this variant an night hunter of supreme potential. The two [[MPL]], reaching out to 400m really add more damage over time than the four PPCs do.<br>
+
Very high [[alpha strike]], excellent at [[poking]]. Works best as a [[skirmisher]].
−
While the main trump card of this variant, however, is the persuading potential of the [[LBX20]] cannon and it is backed up by the usual ton of spare ammunition. Utmost care is to be taken that each hit counts as the LBX20 cannon does the majority of the C variant's damage.<br>
 
−
The selling points of this top priced Warhammer unit are its night hunting potential backed up by the [[GECM]] suite's stealth, alto note that the stealth can be too easily broken by any stray enemy missile flying by, by the treacherous [[LAMS]].
 
  
 
===Variant D===
 
===Variant D===
−
The Warhammer D is the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing of the Warhammer line. 2 [[ERLBL]]s and 2 [[Tbolt5]]s will lure your targets in for an easy kill of an long ranged helpless low DPS sniper. Brawlers will weather the storm, closing on you with the intent of scoring a quick kill. Once they arrive, however, they'll be in for a nasty surprise as the D variant's main weapon, a single [[UAC20]], roars into life. This weapon is capable of immense burst damage, and will quickly tear into any dents the enemy took from their approach, coring smaller enemy mechs in a few seconds of fire. 4 [[DHS]] give the D variant acceptable heat management, and an extra ton of free space ensures that its autocannon has more ammo should the enemy prove tougher than expected.<br>
+
Excellent [[Brawler]]. It's two [[PPC]]s give it some [[skirmishing]] ability, too.

The selling point of this Variant is to have a foot in both of the worlds - snipers and brute brawlers.

===Variant E===
 
===Variant E===
−
The E is a superb sniper mech. Armed with 2 [[ERPPC]]s and a single [[Gauss]] rifle, it is able to quickly deal crippling damage to enemies before they can get into the range necessary to return fire. The gauss rifle's cool nature gives you a good weapon to use while the 2 [[DHS]] tries to dissipate the heat produced by the two ERPPCs. Most pilots chain fire their ERPPCs to prevent overheating. 2 [[ERMBL]]s mounted in the torsos give the Warhammer E a not-insubstantial tertiary punch that can be used to hasten the destruction of any mech that survives the salvos from its primary weapon systems. [[EOptics]] and a single free ton allow the E variant to accurately maintain its full firepower for a decent amount of time.
+
Operates best as a [[skirmisher]]. [[Burst damage]]-focused with [[damage spreading]] capabilities. Good at targeting individual [[component]]s like [[arming|arms]].

===Variant F===
 
===Variant F===
−
The Warhammer F excels at close combat and can provide modest mid-range support. 2 [[RAC5]]s, the F's primary weapon systems, are able to dish out serious damage allowing the F to engage other heavies as well as strip the armor from assaults at close range. A single [[MRM30]] supplements the already great damage provided by the rotary autocannons, and 3 [[flamers]] give the Warhammer F the ability to punish any energy-focused mechs that are foolish enough to get close. 3 [[DHS]] help dump the waste heat flamers will saddle you with, while 3 free tons give you the staying power to handle a good amount of engagements before returning to rearm.

Terrifying [[brawler]], highly effective at [[overheating]] or distracting enemies and eliminating [[BA]]. Four [[Free Tons]] support the ammo-hungry [[RAC5]]s.

===Variant G===
 
===Variant G===
−
The Warhammer G is not for the faint of heart. Often called the "Schizo-hammer", the G is a conglomeration of vastly disparate weapons systems, comprising a total of 4 distinct weapon groups. The G is a jack of all trades in the long-range department. At 1000m the G brings in some real firepower with a single [[LRM15]]. At 900m the G has an [[ERPPC]] for sniping and an [[HVAC10]] for persistent supressing fire. As point defense, at 400m, the G has two [[ERSBL]]s and a pair of [[MPL]]s that will strain the G's heat dissipation. Except for the [[HVAC]], every weapons system on the G produces a moderate amount of heat. While at long range its three [[DHS]] can manage to dissipate waste heat between volleys, its close range lasers are more heat intensive. In prolonged short range combat, an engagement range that the Warhammer G has no job seeking, pilots will find themselves reluctant to strain their heat levels with their PPC's heats spike, although they should be able to afford a last volley of missiles against an enemy about to close into its minimum range. In such situations the G's heat capacity would be better spent on its [[HVAC10]]. Though it sports 2 free tons, enough to carry a single reload for its autocannon and LRMs, mechwarriors should fire conservatively to avoid running out of ammo too quickly. The Warhammer G is an excellent mech to learn about how to manage many weapons systems simultaneously.
+
Dedicated [[sniper]]. Poor performance at [[close-range]]. Good choice for wide-open [[maps]].

The Warhammer BattleMech was introduced by StarCorps Industries in 2515 to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the Warhammer proved to be a very capable 'Mech, and for centuries practically defined the entire class of heavy 'Mechs. Boasting incredible firepower and respectable armoring, the Warhammer served prominently in the Star League Defense Force and was one of the premier 'Mechs in the Gunslinger Program. Indeed, many of the greatest MechWarriors in history were Warhammer pilots.

In BattleTech, the Warhammer was designed to "''destroy or severely damage any 'mech of the same weight class or lower''".  Being more lightly armored then other mechs of its class, the Warhammer preferred to stay at range where its weaponry was most effective. In addition to PPCs, SRMs, and Lasers, it had two machine guns for defense against infantry.

The Warhammer Armor:
 +
Durallex Ballistic-Reinforced Armor, was developed by the Draconis Combine in 3131 as a response to autocannon and missile weapons. The armor is a combination of Hardened and Reactive Armor that reduce damage taken from ballistic and missile weapons. The armor is also known as "reinforced" armor, but many techs use the term "hardened light" to describe it. A thinner version of hardened armor is backed by cable mesh that warps and traps missile and ballistic ammunition.

Date Introduced 2515 during the Era known as "Age of War" (2005 - 2570) - Unit Role: Brawler
  
 
Amongst BT fans, the Warhammer, along with other Mechs designed for the ''Macross'' Anime series, is referred as the ''Unseen''. Another ''Unseen'' Mech (which was originally planned to appear in MWLL) is the [[Marauder]].

Terrifying brawler, highly effective at overheating or distracting enemies and eliminating BA. Four Free Tons support the ammo-hungry RAC5s.

Player Comments:
Works best between 60-150m. Watch out for enemies coming within the MRM20's minimum range.
- Warlord Kentax


Variant G

Dedicated sniper. Poor performance at close-range. Good choice for wide-open maps.

Player Comments:
Chain-fire the ERPPCs to prevent overheating. Prepare a second button for chain-firing the AC2s for fighting BA.

Canon

The Warhammer BattleMech was introduced by StarCorps Industries in 2515 to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the Warhammer proved to be a very capable 'Mech, and for centuries practically defined the entire class of heavy 'Mechs. Boasting incredible firepower and respectable armoring, the Warhammer served prominently in the Star League Defense Force and was one of the premier 'Mechs in the Gunslinger Program. Indeed, many of the greatest MechWarriors in history were Warhammer pilots. Being more lightly armored then other mechs of its class, the Warhammer preferred to stay at range where its weaponry was most effective. In addition to PPCs, SRMs, and Lasers, it had two machine guns for defense against infantry.

The Warhammer Armor: Durallex Ballistic-Reinforced Armor, was developed by the Draconis Combine in 3131 as a response to autocannon and missile weapons. The armor is a combination of Hardened and Reactive Armor that reduce damage taken from ballistic and missile weapons. The armor is also known as "reinforced" armor, but many techs use the term "hardened light" to describe it. A thinner version of hardened armor is backed by cable mesh that warps and traps missile and ballistic ammunition.

Date Introduced 2515 during the Era known as "Age of War" (2005 - 2570) - Unit Role: Brawler

Amongst BT fans, the Warhammer, along with other Mechs designed for the Macross Anime series, is referred as the Unseen. Another Unseen Mech (which was originally planned to appear in MWLL) is the Marauder.
