Where did you get that picture?

Oh, and this isn't how a MW:O-fied Warhammer would look like. If it was official and not a fan art, then it would be Loki with Clan weaponry (SSRM 6 on both STs and so on)... probably. Or Warhammer IIC with ATM-6s.

Whammy is basically star league tech...

I know, but you can look at this mech and easily see it's not using the same weapons we see on other mechs we're using.

If official (and if not, then some mad props to you or whoever made it, mgto), it would probably be using some sort of different tech as they are quite keen on keeping the same weapon meshes across all mechs, plus there is no warhammer carrying around SRM6s on both shoulders. Thus the closest I can get to is Warhammer IIC 4 or something of that sort.

Well yea thats like when they made the Vulture MK III i think it was, still 65 tons but somehow magically has this.... Armament
Prime Configuration

• 4 x LRM-20s
  
• 6 x ER Medium Lasers

but anyway I'd be happy if they threw in the Warhammer and Marauder

Ahhh ok I gotcha. No, I don't think this is official I think it's a request

No, it's an L1 3025 much. It's a pretty common chassis and one of the première mechs of the timeline. One of my all time favorites along side the marauder and stalker

TT-wise you're right. Canon-wise:

The Warhammer BattleMech was introduced in 2515 to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower."

It's not what I thought you meant but if you go by original design date then most of your L1 mechs would fall into that category. Even the Hunchback was designed in 2572. Those mechs are still in production in 3025 though. Star league type mechs are more long the lines of Lancelot, Merlins, etc. Mechs that were lost in time due to the wars. Whammy is still a common chassis come 3025. All of the mechs in the 3025 (IIRC) are star league mechs because at this time most production and designs were ravaged, reduced, crippled, or just completely lost due to the succession wars.

Don't play with my heart like this!

With most other games, I could just check the main site and figure out whether this picture is actually official. Unfortunately, they don't appear to like updating it all that frequently with new media, so...oh well. I'm leaning more towards the unofficial side, simply because they said we wouldn't be getting any concept art for a few months while they catch up with the already announced (and unannounced ) 'Mechs. Props to whoever made it though, putting in the Lunar map. Very clever.

Weird...I thought I saw something, but then all I can see is our next map and a couple of ERLL beams coming out of nowhere. My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
I guess I'll move this to fan art.

Ha I see what you did there, 'unseen."

PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL... The Warhammer was always my favorite mech. PGI if you want more money from me you will do this. I think this is real because I seen twitch the other day when Bryan Ekman showing off UI 2.0 and he did a run on a moon map that looks a lot like the background of this picture.

Yeah... I'm surprised the guy didn't even pull out the actual weapon assets we use. Would be far more convincing then because it's otherwise a decent model.

Is that a Borg Cube on the right?!
