    Everything is sexy. Except the weapons in the arms. I realize it has to be done to differentiate it enough so that Harmony Old won't try and litigate a yearly salary for their people. But damn those guns throw me off.

    Wow finally!!! While the Marauder was/is Michael's and many other's Baby... Mine was always the Warhammer. ^_^

    Ok now let's compare this new PGI Version with the Classic Designs:

    Hmm, it's very close to the original's Badassness. But only close (don't like those ugly Arms). Not perfect, just like the PGI Marauder is compared to the Original Design(s).

    Let's compare with the Original Design from PGI, which we saw 6 yrs ago:



    Check. I like the new one more (even though i am a bit disappointed again)! ^_^

    Damn, @PGI don't you dare to throw out another Unseen Pack before Dec - i gave you enuff Money this yr! :dead:

    And yet they just did.

    Looks very XL friendly and dual gauss is possible, the Hero Variant is actually a nice ballistic variant plus the cammo and the name "widowmaker"^_^.

    I am not as much into the WHM as I am into the MAD, but nevertheless this is a classic. So while MAD was an instant buy for me I am not sure about the WHM at the moment.

    Normally it would be instabuy for me too. C'mon it's my very favorite from the pre-clan Era... But..but somehow Idk, something's in my head saying the direction PGI is going now isn't right.

    You know what i mean? Look at the last weeks of contents announcements. What real game contents instead new Mech Packs, Map/UI Updates do we get till End of the yr? I mean something that brings a new Game Mode alive (e.g. Only IS or only Clan Mechs allowed Mode) or the next step for CW?

    I mean, yes it's the Unseen! Wow. Awesome, Finally! But really, so many weeks gone and we only get Mech Packs every month. This is all that can be done?

    Well, i have to consider this latest Package. Even though it breaks my Heart.

    Exactly Blagg, thinking the same way. The pace of packs had increased since summer by a huge factor.

    Popped back into the game for Wobby Wednesday this week with the Beer Warriors. It was a lot of fun. I missed the game. But, it's still chock full of the same flaws and aside from some new mechs (same boating, just a different body) the game still feels very stagnant. Updated maps are cool and look great, but more mech packs aren't really pulling my wallet strings.

    I'm with @Blagg Zear PGI hasn't done much to advance the game and push anything new besides adding new body styles to load up with energy weapons. I mean, hell, we haven't received a single new weapon system besides Clan tech. IS has plenty of useful tech that could add to the game... We'll see how this BV stuff and infotech works out, meh.

    I might have to curse you all out again.. damnit!

    It does look like a clan mech though, not complaining, just responding about the arms.
    Looks like an awesome and a thunderbolt had a baby...

    It's a bad month to be my wallet.

    Infotech thing is shit and it will never work out as we know it.
    People will not play like a team that way unless it is a premade group.

    The BV stuff maybe a good idea though. In fact, it should be that way since day one.

    After that they would most likely push the timeline and get the new weapons in. I think they are moving the quirk system so they can do that actually. But they should have known that the way they do the whole infotech thing would not generate interest even without the playtest.

    Hmmmph. I'll wait for some good content news till End of the month. Let's see where PGI wanna take us until Xmas.

    In the meantime i throw my money on steam due to the recent sale - Pillars of Eternity (Baldur's Gate 3?!!) That game has epic contents for now little money. Don't miss it ^_^

    Nearly 4k of tax returns incoming later this month... so maybe that'll help my decision a bit, especially as I think the Widowmaker is a very fine variant. :arghh:

    For me it looks like a Variant of the Hellbringer, also hardpoints-wise (okok, the Warhammer was the template for the Loki)

    [​IMG]

    So, as I already have the Loki with Clan-Tech i think the Warhammer is good for Nostalgia and more flexible Configurations (No fixed engine!)

    Well, using the grasshopper for a stand-in, here's my first thought on the Whammy WHM-6D:


    Not sure what the quirks will bring, but I didn't want to make this guy XL.

    OMG @Blagg Zear you killed the Warhammer. I do see what you mean though. I'm gonna stay with my Marauder. Although I have memories of Warhammer awesomeness (no pun intended) from the early books I don't want a clan mech sullying my stable!

    For some reason everytime I hear "Warhammer" and "mech" placed together I am thinking of little mech like this:
