Easily identified by its squat torso, jutting head and broad chest, the Masakari has become notorious among Inner Sphere MechWarriors for its deadly accuracy. The 'Mech carries an advanced targeting computer, which apparently comes as standard equipment in all configurations. Though the computer must be modified for different weapons arrays, the basic computing boards appear to be built into the OmniMech's frame.

Alright boys n' girls! I'm back with another build.

After setting up a group render of my latest collection of Omnimechs, I figured I'd finally get to one model I'd been meaning to build for a number of years now. Especially since it shares the same legs as my first Omnimech - The Dire Wolf.

So now I bring you what will become the Warhawk. First identified by House Kurita as the Masakari.

Like always, I start with the basic shape and minor details.





Every single rendition of the Warhawk is missing what would be a vital component to the cockpit detail: The door! So I stuck one on (Will fix it later with one less awkward)..

[Mighty Spike]

Yeah, Hana is back

[kesuga7]

;Holy shazam nice renderings including the one in the deviant art page (Especially that robot/elemental thing ****)
but at that point in the process it looks like it has a sun visor ( or maybe all warhawks look like they have a sun visor )


but very good work!

The Warhawk is my all time favorite mech in the whole BT universe. A masterpiece of Jaguar technology!
Can't wait to see the final artwork. Keep up the good work!

[Fury9er]

Can't wait to see how this progresses I love what you've done with the assault omni legs, they look a bit more substantial than the TRO art.

That Elemental/Robot thing contains a 2 meter tall, genetically enhanced, lab created infantryman. One of the three Warrior classes of the Clans: MechWarrior, Elemental, and Aerospace Pilot.

I've been told elsewhere that my Warhawk model looks like a Scout Trooper helmet.

Another one of my unfinished projects.

Warhawk C is as munchy as anything out there. Two ERPPCs and two Large Pulse Lasers. Plus a targeting computer comes standard with every variant. On the tabletop game combining the LPL and TC gives you a -3 target number. Plus an uncanny ability to target a specific area on an opposing target that isn't available to most other units.

I like to add more detailing to all of my models. Especially more than the TRO art.


This model is shaping up rather quickly as I haven't had trouble figuring out shape or form with this design.

As you can see, I rebuilt the cockpit hatch, detailed the nose with a sensor suite, and built what I think is a rather large heatsink. I placed the LRM10 near the shoulder for scaling purposes.

​More to come.

You re welcome. Your work is awesome as always

[Iqfish]

Holy crap, the Scout Trooper is my favourite clone from star wars, and it looks awesome!

But that's not all, the cockpit looks great, you are so talented in turning 80's scrap into gold!
I mean, this:

Vs this:


Well:

YUP!!!

[HanaYuriko]

Side and top torso details have been added.



Not too happy with what I have on the rear. I'll work on it some more later on. It just doesn't look...right somehow.


Ah well, I'll figure it out.

Most impressive!

S! Nicely done Sir.

Love it so far!

wow, the Warhawk has been my second favorite mech ever, and this rendering.....just wow! ...really, just wow!

[a rabid chihuahua]

I've always love'd the Warhawk for the brute ability and firepower. The look is pretty decent ,but you have made a great defining look to the entire assembly no other painting have really hit. the detail really gives it more justice.Can't wait for your finished version.

[ROJ]

This is looks Awesome! I love your work!

Even though the Maskari is probably the ugliest most dis-proportioned mech out there besides the Jenner; the amount of detail in this model brings it to life..

[Capp]

I'm liking it.

[HanaYuriko]

Plenty of replies this time. I'll skip over the "Sir/Ma'am" bit since you fine folks seem to have it handled. *laughs*

Thank you all! I'm surprised at how quickly I'm getting through this one. The Warhawk is a pretty ugly 'mech. Though I think it looks better than the Gargoyle/Man O' War (hmm...There's another one I haven't done yet). At least for the most part some of its variants are symmetrical in design.


OK, just a quickie for now since I was short on time. The 2x ERPPC arm mount. I used the ERPPC model from my other Omnimech builds. I also replaced the right-hand panel on the rear of the torso that I'll show off in my next set of renders.



Basically all I have left is the upper arm and some final assembly and adjustments.
