BATTLETECH WARHAMMER SERIES

A single ER Small Laser rounds out the armament. Warhammer IIC 10 Introduced in the Dark Age era, this version carries four ER Large Lasers supported by twin SRM-6 launchers.In addition to the ferro-fibrous armor, an ECM Suite in the head disrupts enemy electronics. The RACs are backed up by a pair of ER Medium Lasers and ER Small Lasers, and the missile launcher is now an LRM-10. An XXL fusion engine provides enough power for a top speed of 86 km/h. Warhammer IIC 9 This version drops the ER PPCs and replaces them with experimental Rotary AC/5s.Shark engineers used Endo Steel and ferro-fibrous armor to maximize weight savings. The 'Mech's top speed is increased to 85 km/h by using a huge 400XL engine. Nineteen double heat sinks are installed to keep things cool. These are supported by two ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6. Warhammer IIC 8 This Diamond Shark-produced variant uses arm mounted Plasma Cannons and Heavy Large Lasers as its main armament.A single ATM-6 launcher provides additional long or short range firepower. The weapons are a mix of pulse and extended range lasers but the main firepower comes from the arm mounted ER PPCs. To this end it carries two Fuel Tanks to carry the additional reaction mass it requires. Warhammer IIC 7 Developed by Clan Snow Raven this variant is unique in that it's intended for vacuum operations.Warhammer IIC 6 This variant of the IIC 4 replaces five heat sinks and the missile launchers with a Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 30 and four tons of ammunition.

A pair of Series 2D-2 Heavy Medium Lasers are mounted on each side of the body, while a Streak SRM-4 is in the head. In their place is a pair of arm-mounted Type 0 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 20s. Warhammer IIC 5 This variant removes all of the weapons, six heat sinks, and a half ton of armor.This variant is also the Reseen Warhammer IIC. They were replaced by a pair of System 4 ATM-6 launchers and a Series 1 Mk. The old ER PPCs were swapped out for a pair of new Type DDS 'Kingston' models, while the secondary weapons were stripped out. Almost completely reworked from the ground up, the IIC 4 has a different aesthetic from the original, but its communication systems and weapons have been upgraded to top-of-the-line models, unlike the traditional view of second-line 'Mechs. Warhammer IIC 4 The IIC 3 was not well-received by the Clan's buyers, so they went back to the drawing board and devoted a significant amount of energy and resources to this variant.An advanced Targeting Computer was also added to help ensure that the hard-to-use heavy lasers hit. Warhammer IIC 3 Designed by Clan Diamond Shark, this variant replaces the PPCs and missile launcher of the original design with a pair of arm-mounted Heavy Large Lasers, two additional heat sinks, and a half ton of armor.Clan scientists replaced the Medium Pulse Lasers with a pair of LRM-15s and four tons of ammunition. Warhammer IIC 2 This variant turns the Warhammer IIC into a fire support 'Mech.Twenty double heat sinks keep the design relatively cool. Added to an SRM-6 launcher and five Medium Pulse Lasers, this firepower overwhelms most 'Mechs of equal or lesser tonnage. XVII ER PPCs allow the Warhammer IIC to inflict fifty percent more damage than the regular Successor States' PPCs. After the Jihad, production of the Warhammer IIC continued for the Spheroid Clans at Clan Sea Fox's Trellshire Heavy Industries plant and Clan Snow Raven's Industrial Complex Alpha.

Also note that the armor was the primary concern when designing the IIC version rivaling even 100 ton assault 'Mechs in durability and protection.

The result is a dangerous 'Mech, able to hold its own in any battle against the Inner Sphere. The Warhammer IIC is built on an Endo Steel frame and is protected by twelve tons of ferro-fibrous armor. Thanks to their technological expertise, they were able to add ten tons with the same speed and firepower and nearly double the armor of the original. The Clans wisely maintained and built on this solid frame a real assault 'Mech, the Warhammer IIC. However, it had been superseded by later and heavier 'Mech designs, though it remained a powerful weapons platform. The original Warhammer was designed as an assault BattleMech.
