Project Phoenix Models

There isnt any need to list the PP models seperately from the other models as they are all varaints of the Warhammer. I changed the page back to the proper format.--CJKeys 21:11, 30 November 2006 (CST)

WHM-6D irregularities

This diff. strikes me as odd, it seems that neither the original nor the altered version are correct. Isn't the WHM-6D a 2x PPC, 2x ML, 2x SL variant? (Source: TRO of the WHM-6R and it's variants, from Solaris 7) As always, I'll bow to other's superior knowledge to canon 'Mechs. --Xoid 01:12, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Checked it through HMP, dont know how I missed that. --CJKeys 09:05, 24 January 2007 (CST)
Heh, don't worry. When you do enough of any one thing you'll eventually slip up. I've made thousands of templates yet I can still mung them up with the best of 'em. ;-) --Xoid 20:30, 26 January 2007 (CST)

Dual Cockpit variant

Where does this come from? I don't know of any canon variants of this dual cockpit variant. -- Wrangler 01:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

MechWarrior Companion pg 52. Pretty much the bulk of the Dual Cockpit page on BTW comes from the Companion. Cyc 13:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Similar imagines of Robotech/Battletech Mechs

Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the illustration of the WHM-6R and the Destroid Tomahawk of Robotech fame? [1] --OneUseOnly 16:31, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Thats because they own the copy right of the original imagine of the Tomahawk Destroid. FASA got the their license for Macross Mech from same "company" as Harmony Gold. Thus, they are one in the same 'Mech. I'm not sure if their allow to use exact picture done FASA itself, but they can use the imagines. -- Wrangler 17:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Too Many Images

IMO there are too many images on this article, too cluttered, too messy, crowding out the text which is the reason for its existence. Cyc 10:37, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree, the first image in the top left corner should go as well as the image in the armament section. It sort of ruins the format for mech pages and clogs up the page heaps. --Mop no more 11:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Concur. I hold the philosophy that pictures should only be added below the infoxbox (when displayed). If the pictures wish to be tetained, a gallery of Warhammer pictures can be created and linked to on the article. In fact, I'll be bold and do just that.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:26, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Fits just as well in their own section on the article! --Revanche (talk|contribs) 12:32, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Warhammer C

I added the details of the Warhammer C from The Battle for Twycross scenario pack. I explicitly included the details of the source for this design, as I realize these designs have not appeared often, and their canonicity could be considered questionable. The inclusion of this design is strictly informational, and can be removed if considered too controversial.--S.gage 02:54, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Anyone got info on the -10T? All I know is that it's a variant that moves 5/8/7.

Historical Turning Points mallory's world

I've removed the update needed tag for Historical Turning Points Mallory's World. The Warhammer described there is a WHM-6K variant, which is already described in the article.--Mbear 20:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

The Lich

Shouldn't the Lich receive its own page? — The preceding unsigned comment was posted by 77.0.79.194 (talkcontribs) on 2 June 2011.

Not sure about that. It *IS* the same chasis. ClanWolverine101 08:58, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Yes, but so would be the Temax Cat Ninjabolt (Thunderbolt) and the Schwerer Gustav (Annihilator). It only uses a Warhammer torso and rips everything else from other units.
I would say no to this, due to fact the Lich doesn't have much of a write up for it aside from XTRO info. The variant, WHD-10CT is basically considered a production version of it. -- Wrangler (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2015 (PDT)
The Thug and Hatamoto-Chi share the same chassis and have nearly identical design specs, yet they have separate entries. I think it is time to split the Lich off into its own page. There is enough info for a full entry.--Cache (talk) 07:40, 29 October 2015 (PDT)
I would be in favour of splitting it off.--Dmon (talk) 14:57, 29 October 2015 (PDT)
Thug and Hatamoto were intended to be separate 'Mechs, but the Litch was just a fancy name for a Warhammer variant prototype, the Litch entry shows that Starcorps was fully behind its development.Cyc (talk) 15:10, 29 October 2015 (PDT)

Classics images

Now that the first of the reimagined 'mechs have been published on the MUL (by my count, the Warhammer, Locust, Marauder, Shadow Hawk and OstScout), and they are explicitly stated to retcon out the old Unseen designs, is it time to add the new art to the article? --216.52.210.36 10:32, 26 October 2015 (PDT)

I'm not the admin, I'm only editor. However usually Sarna.net needs to wait until a published canon book (like Combat Manual: Mercenaries) comes out. Sarna needs wait until a published source comes out moratorium expires for legal reasons. Until, then old image will remain like all the rest unless admins want to make that call. -- Wrangler (talk) 13:09, 26 October 2015 (PDT)
