Well, that is hard to say.

Different players like different 'Mechs. Some players like light 'Mechs, other players like assault 'Mechs. Some people prioritize speed and mobility, other people are interested in firepower.

What about you?:

• Could you list Clan 'Mechs that you already own?
  
• What weight class are you interesting in?
  
• What do you expect from a new 'Mech(s)?

And of course, the most important question: How many dollars are you willing to spend?

Not a bad 'Mech.

Thank you. You have got a nice selection of Clan 'Mechs. Many of them are still useful.

The Warhammer IIC "Bludgeon" was a free Christmas 'Mech gifted by PGI three years ago.

'Mechs that I would recommend to your attention:

Medium:

• Stormcrow
  
• Huntsman

There are other good Clan medium 'Mechs, but they are more suitable for hit-and-run tactics and similar things.



Heavy:

• Orion IIC - very solid Clan heavy 'Mech, if you are into the short range brawling. However, I should warn you that the current meta has moved towards medium- and long-range combat. On the other hand, I guess you are in some lower Tier, where it does not matter it so much. And you can design some ranged loadout for it too.
  
• Nova Cat or Night Gyr - both 'Mechs are slow, but they can pack a lot of firepower. NC is more versatile. NG has hardwired Jump jets (sometimes advantage, sometimes disadvantage), but it can be equipped with ECM

Assault:

• Blood Asp - versatile OmniMech. Some variants can be equipped with ECM.
  
• Marauder IIC - if you like being in the thick of the battle, Hero "Scorch" could be the right 'Mech for you. I suggest that you claim the free Christmas 'Mech Marauder IIC-A and if you like the chassis, you could buy "Scorch" later.

'Mechs that I would probably recommend:

• Huntsman basic package + Hero "Pakhet" - $20+15 (or you can buy the "Pakhet" for $18.99 alone and then buy standard C-Bills variants later in the game, if you like the 'Mech)
  
• Nova Cat package - basic package $20
  
• (Orion IIC - a la carte $35. Personally I would buy if for C-Bills earned in the game.)
  
• Blood Asp - basic package $20 (some players would possibly add Hero "Rancor")

TOTAL: $75

Of course, you can buy those 'Mechs (minus Hero 'Mechs) in the game for C-Bills. Spending cash is an easier, but costlier solution.

Naturally, other players will suggest buying different 'Mechs.

Yes, if you’re going to buy a Huntsman, get the clan medium pack under the bundles section, you get an INSANE amount of swag for that 18 bucks.

That Clan Medium pack is worth buying because it includes Hero 'Mech and 3000 MCs. However, I do not know for how long this special package will stay up. The MWO Store always confuses me.
