I just wanna say thanks everyone who participated in this contest.
I feel like it helped keep the pressure on PGI to work towards achieving this huge milestone!!!
Big thanks to PGI as well for settling on a design! I hope the art contest offered the inspiration you needed.

Clalling it now, the Warhammer Hero is going to be Natasha Kerensky's "The Widowmaker".

Well, I'm clearly down for $40. Bout friggin' time.

I am only mad that anyone else will get this mech other than myself! Looks over the top awsome.

[Krivvan]

Single high ballistic mount, low slung energy arms that don't shield. Large side torsos, although not much height. Giant legs. This one will be determined by quirks again. Probably will be a fun/interesting mech, but jury's out about whether it'd perform well although not looking great.

Looks good but just not like a 75 tonner to me.

The arm design is weird I like this one's arms better, looks more like MWO's style

Without any doubt. By far the most famous Mech and Pilot in Battletech.

I'm tempted to look up a meme gif for this...but I'm scared of what image results I might find.

So I'm checking out the Bounty Hunter configurations on Sarna, just to see what's what.

Looks like heavily downgraded engine - Dire Whale movement profile - but three PPCs and five medium lasers in the 3015 'Lostech' version, or three PPCs, three medium lasers, and a gauss freaking rifle in the 3044 Upgraded version.

Potentially energy hardpoins replacing ballistic in that holy-nutballs RT skyhook gun mount. Alternatively, Black Knight-level energy vomit, or Black Knight-level energy vomit that also has a cannon slot. Will be slow, though. Likely less than a 300-rated engine. 75-ton assault 'Mech.

Heh...this is going to be very interesting indeed.

Gona be released a single mech pack.
Like the urban mech
20$ pack and 40$ pack

So no c-bills variants? Well ok then...

[Madcap72]

Oh, new mech?


It'll be DOA just like people said about the urbanmech

[Alex Morgaine]

4ml between the arms and an ac20. Yay meta...

Using the regular engine formula for heavies, this would put the BH hero at a 270 engine cap. Thus, it would have a top speed of 64.2 kph, aka the same speed as the heavier Stalker or various other assault mechs.

I think that for the sake of Ze Balance™ they should raise it to 300. Having it be IS assault mech speed isn't that fair for its capabilities, and we've already seen the Cataphract 4X suffer this fate...

Read my first post, it's already confirmed to be the bounty hunter.

He said Warhammer, not Marauder...having the Bounty Hunter for both the Marauder AND Warhammer would be kinda stupid.

Thinking Ac 10 up top, standard engine, 2 LL and 2 ML. Just quickly looking at it. Although thats on the light side. I would start there though.

Pretty sure he talked about the bounty hunter before he even mentioned the warhammer. COuld be wrong, waiting on the broadcast to be loaded.
