WHM-6R (C) A Clan-tech retrofit of the venerable Warhammer intended for second-line and solahma troops does not alter the 'Mechs structural components but replaces most of the Inner Sphere-tech weaponry of the original WHM-6R with Clan equivalents. The PPCs are replaced with Large Pulse Lasers, the SRM-6 is upgraded to a Streak SRM-6, and all of the lasers are upgraded to ER Medium and ER Small Lasers. The Machine Guns remain the Inner Sphere variety. This should have been made available for purchase for the Claners at the same time.

LOVE this one! Especially the cockpit looks nice and mean

I don't understand why didn't they make just a pack of four like until now. This way I would probably buy all of them. But as it is, the Marauder basic pack will likely be the only one I'll be getting. Sure, they might get up to 55$ per single chassis instead of 20$, but for me the unseen might end with the Marauder. I'd really prefer a classic collection pack, instead, to get all the goodies in one nice shiny package. Paying double (40$ or the hero) to get special variant for each of them is the turn off I think, this way it really doesn't have much collector or bonus value if you're just buying the standard 20$ packs, might as well wait for c-bills.

Thing is though, that is mix-tech. We may not see that (mix-tech) in this game any time soon.

All they have to do is rid this variant of the machine gun hard points.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the big deal with this mech, is it just pure nostalgia and history?

It's _the_ iconic Battletech mech. Not the Timberwolf. Not the Atlas. The Warhammer is _IT_!

yep. in my eyes, box with 2 tubes. not interesting design.

Another nice mech - Another Mech pack with a TBD date for Cbills release.

Its going to be paywall after paywall now.

Going by the trend... maybe it will be released for MC in 2017 and Cbills in 2019.

FYI - Urbie is still not available for Cbills .... now the "TBD" its FAQ page has been changed to:

A: We don't have any information on future in-game availability at this time.

When will PGI "get" that "information"? What's the hold up PGI?
~1 year to get that information for the Urbie? Really???

Or is it that the pack has not hit its $$ grab target yet?

Had to edit the above - These Mech Packs are now available for C-Bills and MC - Well done PGI

Not smoking.
Getting drunk once a week on average.
Keeping the sports car.
Coffee addict.
Single.
So.. in my case, should I get a woman, or the Hammer?

My interest for this mech is it's hardpoint potential. it has the Trinity of weapon groups, (almost) perfectly symmetrical and it's 70 tons.

Will depend on how well these Classic sales go.

Want a IIC, support their arrival with a Classic purchase or two!

I am getting these Classics because;

1. Classics from when I started tabletop
2. FUN
3. I want a Rifleman IIC!

When we started playing tabletop Battletech/Mechwarrior, the mech on the cover was a Warhammer.

It is THE mech that we saw every time we opened the box and sat down to play.

When we think of Battletech/Mechwarrior it is that image of the Warhammer on the cover that we think of.

Yes, a great deal is nostalgia and our time playing around a table with friends. For me, having that feeling again and each time I drop in a Warhammer is something that cannot have a price put upon it.

Hmmm should i go for it? Or should i?

Hard to decide.
