Hi all

I have a question, which kind of mechs uses generally te Kell Hounds?

Specially heavy and assault mechs.

Thaks for your help!

Since the founder and commander of the Hounds, Morgan Kell, is a Lyran Grand Duke and friends with the Steiner family, the Mechs are primarily of Lyran design. When Arc-Royal, Kell's Duchy, became a factory world the Hounds got some unique designs too. Lastly, being filthy rich and eager to get the best there is, the Kells make sure that their unit have access to most of the hottest IS stuff.

To make a long story short: it is actually easier to name the heavy and assault Mechs the Kell Hounds did not have access to... Of those heavy and assault Mechs in game, only the Cataphract and Black Knight are not found in the Hounds' ranks regularily. (Technically non of the in-game KGC variants were used by the Hounds, because they had the more modern -001s...).
See here for the full list:

Iconic would be the Archer (Morgan Kell's Mech), Victor (Patrick Kell), and Thunderbolt (Patrick again, and Christian Kell). Generally, the Kell Hounds are more mobile than the typical Lyran unit, and favour Davion style fire and maneuver. Daniel Allard, who suceeded Morgan Kell, actually piloted a Wolfhound - a light Mech.

As FLG said: The most iconic Kell Hound 'Mechs available ingame should be the Archer Tempest (Hero variant and the 'Mech Morgan Kell pilots) and the Wolfhound as a 'Mech of Kell Hound's design that was first piloted by Daniel Allard.

Funny, if I'm remembering TRO 3050 correctly, the Wolfhound was actually designed to be a Light-slayer. Odd that.
