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.

Warhammer's large spotlight 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. The Mech also has a narrow vertical field of view, which may make it hard to deal with [[Aerospace]] fighters and [[VTOL]]s.

===Variant A===
−
The Warhammer A operates a bit [[heat|hot]], but is a formidable asset with robust [[pinpoint]] accuracy and [[screen shake]] backup weapons - an excellent medium range mech that can turn into a [[brawler]] in a pinch. The A, however, has no [[spare ammo]] for its pair of [[SSRM6]]s. The A should focus on being sustainable medium range firepower when in long engagements and avoid close combat unless [[resupply]] is near. Players should utilize [[group fire]] for the A's impressive array of three [[LPL|Large Pulse Lasers]] and [[chain fire]] for its SSRM6s to maximize screen shake. If more than two mouse buttons are available, a third, chain fired group containing the three pulse lasers will help when trying to even out heat or shoot at pesky [[BA]].

===Variant B===
−
Many famous warriors where seduced by beauty, several by that of weapons yet only few came to know the [[HVAC10]]. If there ever where warriors guided by the beauty of the weapon, then the admirers of the HVAC10 certainly are some of those.<br>
+
Good [[sniper]] effective at [[screen shake|suppressing]] other snipers in open terrain. Can lead a [[push]] onto an [[objective]] if needed.
−
This War Hammer puts its stakes on the fact that the two HVAC10 deliver more damage than two [[AC10|heavy Auto Cannons]] would all the while still reaching beyond even the nimbler [[AC5|standard Auto Cannon]], rivaling the Gauss and ERPPC. In contrast to all but ERPPC it also induces heavy screen shake to the target.<br>

Besides the 4 tons for spare reloads, most certainly reserved for the HVAC10s, the Mech also carries an somewhat disparate array of tertiary (in the sense of weapons grouping) backup weapons:<br>
+
| Writer1= - Warlord Kentax}}
−
Once we realize the bulk of that arrays damage reaches out up to between 350 and 200m, we can see the group is less unfortunate but rather a dissonant one. Just fire it all and at once - to your hearts content, or until the two "Beauties" come to wake again.<br>

===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 4 [[LPPC]] can be fired indefinitely and in short succession - rendering any opponent blind at night, out to 450m. This sole property renders this variant an night hunter of supreme potential. The 2 [[SPL]], reaching out to 250m bring on the hurt at close range. 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. The selling points of this top priced Warhammer is its night hunting potential backed up by the [[GECM]] suite's stealth and extended sensor range provided by [[BAP]], although note that the stealth can be too easily broken by any stray enemy missile on a fly-by, by the treacherous [[LAMS]]. This only applies if the radar is held in the active mode. 5 [[DHS]] and 13t [[Armor]] round out this Whammy that has all the toys. God help the fool that gets in your way!
+
Very high [[alpha strike]], excellent at [[poking]]. Works best as a [[skirmisher]].
  
 
===Variant D===
 
===Variant D===
−
The Warhammer D is the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing of the Warhammer line. 2 [[LL]]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. Furthermore, it is also placed high on the mech's shoulder, allowing the mechwarrior to fire double AC rounds at enemies while in partial cover. 4 [[DHS]] give the D variant acceptable heat management, and an extra ton of [[free tons|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 Warhammer E is a medium range [[poking]] mech. All of its main weapons deal high [[burst damage]] with a relatively low [[DPS]]. Because of this, the E's two [[AC5]], two [[ERLL]]s, and one [[LBX10]] should be fired optimally at their combined maximum [[range]] of 700m. The E is a good low-[[heat]] option for hot maps since it has three [[DHS]], more than enough to deal with its weapons' heat. Once the E is in [[brawler|brawling]] range, all of its weapons, with the exception of its two [[SL]]s, are best suited towards a damage spreading [[twist fight]], and [[staring]] should be avoided.
+
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 some staying power 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.

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.
