Was thinking of getting a Huntsman as my first clan omnimech to try out ATMs. Since I've mostly played IS I've never tried that unique clan weapon. Have seen several good examples of Huntsmen running 2x12ATMs and since I like mediums it looks like it could suit me.

However, I'm not sure what chassi to pick. Several nearly identical builds have used different chassis and Grimmechs just list them as any.

So any suggestions?

The Huntsman-C has the best overall missile quirks if you want to run missiles. Otherwise, any one will do.

And it'll keep those quirks even if you change omnipods?

With Omnimechs, there are two kinds of quirks: pod-related and set-of-eight (So8). The quirks on individual pods go away when you change the respective omnipod. The So8 quirks go away when you change ANY omnipod.
The -C is a solid So8 take for ATM play. The -prime has better quirks overall, but one launcher would be on your left arm.

was aiming for this build. hmn-c So I guess So8 might not work.

It's a variant on this:

outside of quirks and set of 8 chassis does not matter it's an omnimech.

I've seen this fit a few times and its a fairly annoying poptart.
