	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''''Warhammer''''' [[BattleMech]] was introduced by [[StarCorps Industries]] in [[Introduction Year::2515]] to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the ''Warhammer'' proved to be a very capable 'Mech, and for centuries practically defined the entire class of [[heavy 'Mech]]s. Boasting incredible firepower and respectable armoring, the ''Warhammer'' served prominently in the [[Star League Defense Force]] and was one of the premier 'Mechs in the [[Gunslinger Program]].  Indeed, many of the greatest [[MechWarrior]]s in history were ''Warhammer'' pilots.<ref name=TRO3025p96>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 96</ref><ref name=TRO3039p297>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 297</ref>	+	The '''''Warhammer''''' was designed and built for the very specific and narrowly defined mission of "destroy or severely damage any [['Mech]] of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the ''Warhammer'' is a very capable 'Mech. The design itself centers on the concept of long-range mobile fire. Because of this, and in order to mount a large enough arsenal to carry out its mission, the ''Warhammer'' carries only ten tons of armor, which is less than most 'Mechs of its own weight class. Adding to this is the fact that, although it is based on the concept of "Fire and Maneuver," it has a top speed of 64.8 km/h, which allows faster 'Mechs to close to ranges where the ''Warhammer's'' primary weapons are ineffective and its thin armor can be exploited.
−
−	After the fall of the [[Star League]], the ''Warhammer'' continued to serve in the armies of the [[Great Houses]] during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. Its longevity was helped by the large number of ''Warhammer'' factories spread across both the [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Periphery]], despite relatively low production rates; Ronin Inc. was never able to build more than five ''Warhammer''s a year from their [[Wallis]] factory.  The recovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] would spur on the creation of many new [[Lostech]]-using ''Warhammer'' variants by Inner Sphere manufactures, while the Periphery continued to build original models for [[mercenary|mercenaries]] and black marketeers.<ref name=TRO3050p172>''Technical Readout: 3050'', p. 172</ref>
−
−	The design found a new lease on life after the [[Clan Invasion]] when StarCorps decided to revitalize the ancient 'Mech with the latest in technological improvements.  Initially the company was to build just one new variant from its [[Crofton]] plant, but as news of the plan spread other departments within StarCorps began to involve themselves in the program and descended upon Crofton for a week-long conference to hash out the particulars.  The conference ended up being more celebratory than anticipated, and at the end of the bacchanalian "negotiations" it was eventually decided four new variants would be built: one each for the [[AFFS|Federated Suns]], [[CCAF|Capellan]], [[FWLM|Free Worlds League]] and [[LAAF|Lyran]] militaries, and using technology unique to each realm.  Some examples of these new 'Mechs achieved their baptism of fire during the [[FedCom Civil War]].<ref name=TROPPp46>''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix'', p. 46</ref>
−	==Weapons and Equipment==	+	''The Warhammer is one of the [[Unseen]] Mech designs.''
−	The primary weapons on the ''Warhammer'' 6R were a pair of arm-mounted [[Donal]] [[PPC]]s, which used highly charged accelerated particles to cause significant amounts of damage to enemy 'Mechs at long ranges. Together, both PPCs provided the combined firepower of an [[Autocannon/20]] with a much longer range bracket. For close combat situations, the ''Warhammer'' carried two [[Martell (ML)|Martell]] [[medium laser]]s and two [[Magna]] [[small laser]]s, one of each in both side torsos.  To exploit any weak points in an enemy's armor, a [[Holly (SRM6)|Holly]] [[SRM-6]] was carried over the right shoulder, with one ton of reloads in the corresponding side torso.  Finally, as an effective deterrent to infantry attacks, two [[Sperry Browning]] [[Machine Gun]]s were split between the side torsos with one ton of ammunition carried in the center torso.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref name=TRO3039p297/>
−	The ''Warhammer'' was well protected by ten tons of armoring, while the use of eighteen [[heat sink]]s gave it the freedom to "fire and maneuver" without concern. The sixteen-ton [[fusion engine]] powering the 'Mech gave it a cruising speed of 43.2 km/h and top speed of 64.8 km/h, fast enough to keep pace with the action in most engagements.  The electronics on the 'Mech, though dated by the time of the [[thirty-first century]], were simple and effective, allowing it to assume command duties when needed. The targeting system in particular utilized a special [[Searchlight]] mounted over the left shoulder of the 'Mech.  The device could function as a standard searchlight or tie in directly to the O/P 1500 ARB tracking system, which made the 'Mech an effective night fighter.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref name=TRO3039p297/>	+	==Armament==

	==Variants==		==Variants==
−	*; WHM-4L : The 4L variant of the ''Warhammer'' was one of the four new variants introduced by StarCorps in [[3067]], towards the end of the FedCom Civil War. Intended for use by the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s new Shadow Lances, it completely stripped the armor, the engine, and heat sinks from the original. Instead it used an [[XL engine]] that weighed half as much as the original VOX power plant, carried [[double heat sink]]s to vent the excess from its new weapons and used [[Stealth Armor]] to aid in camouflaging it. The 4L ''Warhammer''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary weapons were two [[ER PPC]]s for long-range combat, backed up by four [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher for close range combat.<ref name=TRCIp160f /><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 189</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,321;<ref name=COp123>''Combat Operations'', p. 123</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,820<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 163</ref>	+	* WHM-4L - The 4L variant of the ''Warhammer'' is one of the newest variants of the 'Mech.

−
−	*; WHM-5L : This advanced Capellan variant of the ''Warhammer'', introduced in [[3081]], replaced the PPCs with [[plasma rifle]]s. Three [[ER medium laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-4]] provided close-in support, while five [[Improved Jump Jet]]s allowed the ''Warhammer'' to jump 150 meters at a time.<ref name=TRO85p258>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 258</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,896<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 164</ref>
−	*; WHM-6D : An alteration of the 6R model introduced in [[2835]], the 6D removed the machine guns and the SRM-6 launcher to add an additional four tons of armor to the design, increasing its leg protection, as well as two more heat sinks. The 6D was particularly favored by the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 190</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,169;<ref name=COFSp128>''Combat Operations'', p. 128</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,471<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 486</ref>	+	* WHM-5L - This Capellan variant replaces the PPC's with [[Plasma Rifle]]s.

−	*; WHM-6K : Another basic modification to the ''Warhammer'', the 6K was favored by the [[Draconis Combine]] after its introduction in [[2830]]. The 6K removed the machine guns and their volatile ammunition to make room for two heat sinks, allowing it to more easily dissipate waste heat from its PPCs.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 191</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,022;<ref name=COFSp128/> BV (2.0) = 1,305<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 487</ref>	+	* WHM-6D - An alteration of the 6R model, the 6D removed the Machine Guns and the SRM-6 launcher to add an additional four tons of armor to the design to increase its protection in case an enemy is able to close to short ranges with the ''Warhammer''.

−	*; WHM-6L : The 6L was a very basic weapons swap of the 6R model used by Capellan armed forces.  Known as the "Hot Hammer" and debuting in [[2825]], the two machine guns and their ammunition were removed in order to mount two [[Flamer]]s added for anti-infantry use.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 192</ref> BV (1.0) = 943;<ref name=COp123 /> BV (2.0) = 1,311<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 488</ref>	+	* WHM-6K - Another basic modification to the ''Warhammer'', the 6K removes the Machine Guns and their volatile ammunition and replaces them with two heat sinks to allow the 6K model to more easily dissipate waste heat from its PPCs.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 191</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,022,<ref name=COFS /> BV (2.0) = 1,305<ref name=MUL165/>
−	*; WHM-6Rb : This upgrade of the 6R was used by the [[SLDF Royal units]]. Introduced in [[2599]], the use of seventeen double heat sinks allowed an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]] to be added to the SRM-6. The standard armoring was also replaced with [[ferro-fibrous]] armor to increase protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 169</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,431<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 27</ref>	+	* WHM-6L - The 6L is a very basic weapons swap of the 6R model.

−	*; WHM-6Rk : A [[Star League era]] variant produced by the [[Draconis Combine]], this ''Warhammer'' used an XL engine to both increase speed and free weight. The replacement of eighteen standard with fifteen double heat sinks helped deal with the heat generated by the weapons, while the rest of the free weight was dedicated to increasing its armor.<ref>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 129</ref> It possesses the standard weapons of the WHM-6R, but moves at a top speed of 86 km/h and carries thirteen tons of armor.

The use of seventeen double heat sinks allows an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]] to be added to the SRM-6. [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor increases protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 169</ref>
−	*; WHM-7A : The 7A variant was an upgrade of the 6Rb variant used by SLDF Royal regiments.  First fielded in [[2761]], this variant used an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure and sixteen double heat sinks. The PPCs were upgraded to [[ER PPC]]s and an Artemis IV fire control system was added to the SRM launcher. The machine guns and small lasers of the standard version were replaced with a pair of [[Small Pulse Laser]]s, while the medium lasers in the side torsos were supplemented by two more medium lasers in the center torso.

The PPCs are replaced with [[Large Pulse Laser]]s, the [[SRM-6]] is upgraded to a [[Streak SRM-6]], and all of the lasers are upgraded to [[ER Medium Laser|ER Medium]] and [[ER Small Laser|ER Small]] Lasers.  The [[Machine Guns]] remain the Inner Sphere variety. <ref name=BFT>''[[The Battle for Twycross]]'', pp. 46 & 49</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,668<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 175</ref>
−	*; WHM-7CS : This variant was developed by [[ComStar]] to more easily traverse the difficult terrain and engage in the ambush tactics intended for the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]]. The PPCs are replaced by [[Fusigon Longtooth]] [[Extended-Range PPC|extended-range models]] and the heat sinks are traded for double strength models. The secondary weapons of the WHM-6R are removed. Two Martel medium lasers are in each side torso, and the SRM-6 has been replaced by three [[Hovertec (SSRM-2)|Hovertec]] [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers. A ton of Streak ammo is carried in the [[CASE]]-protected right torso. Finally four [[Leviathon Plus]] jump jets are installed in the legs, allowing this ''Warhammer'' to quickly reposition itself within 120 meters. To make room for all these modifications, the WHM-7CS uses a VOX 280 XL engine.<ref name=BoTp168>''BattleTech: Battle of Tukayyid'', p. 168: "Warhammer WHM-7CS"</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,751<ref name="MUL_whn_7cs">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7599/warhammer-whm-7cs Warhammer WHM-7CS entry on the MUL]</ref>	+	* WHM-7A - This variant uses an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure and sixteen double heat sinks.

−	*; WHM-8K : A field refit undertaken by the Combine during the [[Jihad]], the 8K is an upgrade of the ''Warhammer'' that strips out the weaponry of the 8D.  First used in [[3073]], it was protected by Valiant Ringmail [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, giving it slightly more protection than the 8D and additional mass to use. It put this free weight to work with paired [[Lord's Light 3]] [[Heavy PPC|Heavy Particle Beam Weapons]]. The only backup weapon was a [[Guided Technologies]] [[Streak SRM-4]], which had a CASE-protected ammunition bin. Sixteen double heat sinks provide adequate heat dissipation capabilities, while a C3 slave Unit enable the 8K to share targeting telemetry with other like-equipped units.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 197</ref><ref>"Old Made New Again"</ref><ref name=TRO85p258/> BV (2.0) = 1,748<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 169</ref>	+	* WHM-9D - Taking the concept of the 6D even further, the 9D is built on an Endo Steel chassis and uses an [[XL Engine]] to upgrade the maximum speed to 86 km/h.

−	*; WHM-8R : The -8R is a return to the tried and true formula of the ''Warhammer''. An [[ER PPC]] resides in each arm, much like other variants. Each side torso carries one ER medium laser, one [[ER small laser]], and a [[machine gun]]. While the right also carries a [[Streak SRM-6]] up on the shoulder mount. The important addition to the -8R is [[CASE II]] to protect both the single ton of machine gun ammo, and the ton of streak ammo held in the right torso. This variant uses and endo steel structure, 13 tons of standard armor, 16 double heat sinks, and a conventional 280 fusion engine.

A [[Heavy PPC]] is carried in both arms, while a large [[MML-9]] resides in the right torso and provides some short range bite if an opponent gets within the PPCs' minimum range. Its two tons of ammo are mounted alongside in a [[CASE II]] magazine. 16 double heat sinks keep the design fairly cool, though overtaxing them isn’t difficult. A light engine and endo steel are utilized.

−	*; WHM-10K : The -10K sticks to the traditional formula of the ''Warhammer'', but includes a slew of advanced components including some Clan weaponry and heat sinks. An Inner Sphere [[ER PPC]] resides in each arm, while each side torso carries one ER medium laser, one [[ER small laser]], and a Clan [[machine gun]]. The right torso also carries a Clan [[Streak SRM-6]] in the shoulder mount. Clan grade [[CASE II]] protects both the ton of streak ammo and the half ton of MG ammo held in the right torso. This variant uses an Endo-Composite structure, 16 Clan double heat sinks, and a 280 light fusion engine. An impressive 18 tons of ballistic reinforced armor protects the -10K, especially against the Combine’s Davion foes. BV (2.0) = 2,033<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 7'', p. 9</ref>

−
−	*; ''Warhammer'' C : A [[Clan]]-tech retrofit of the venerable ''Warhammer'' intended for second-line and ''[[solahma]]'' troops, this variant replaced most of the Inner Sphere-tech weaponry of the original WHM-6R with Clan equivalents and used the weight savings to add two more heat sinks. The PPCs were replaced with [[Large Pulse Laser]]s, the [[SRM-6]] was upgraded to a [[Streak SRM-6]], and all of the lasers were upgraded to [[ER medium laser|ER medium]] and [[ER small laser|ER small]] lasers.  Only the machine guns were not replaced with Clan-tech models. BV (2.0) = 1,728<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 7'', p. 44</ref>
−
−	*; ''Warhammer'' C 2 : The C2 is a further upgrade of previously upgraded Inner Sphere ''Warhammer''s. Retaining its Inner Sphere engine, internal structure, armor, and 18 double heat sinks the C2 completely upgrades the weaponry to Clan standards. Clan [[ER PPC]]s sit in the arms. Each side torso houses a Clan [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and both a pulse and [[ER Small Laser]]. A [[Streak SRM-6]] replaces the typical shoulder-mounted SRMs; its one ton of ammo is in the right torso. Both the lack of CASE and low amount of armor makes this Warhammer a bit of a glass cannon. BV (2.0) = 2,157<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 7'', p. 45</ref>
−
−	*; ''Warhammer'' C 3 : A Golden Century refit popular with Wolf's Dragoons, this ''Warhammer'' was rebuilt from the ground up with Clan technology. Built using an endo steel internal structure and XL engine, the C 3 has plenty of space for weapons and heat sinks. An [[ER PPC]] is carried in each arm. Both side torsos carry an [[ER Medium Laser]], a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and a [[Streak SRM-6]]. An [[ECM Suite]] protects this variant, while a [[Targeting Computer]] makes the already fearsome weaponry even more dangerous. 17 double heat sinks cannot keep the 'Mech cool unless the pilot fires either its long range or short range weapons. BV (2.0) = 2,772<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 7'', p. 46</ref>

	===Custom Variants===		===Custom Variants===
−	*; WHM-X7 "The Lich" : Piloted by [[Francis Indigo]], this custom version used [[Experimental Technology]] to make a fearsome arena fighter. Using a [[Hybrid Internal Structure]] and light ferro-fibrous armor for baseline protection, ''The Lich'' also uses [[Armored Components|Armored Sensors]], an [[Armored Components|Armored Engine]] and a [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]] to stay in the fight a lot longer. The arm-mounted weapons were replaced with ''[[Marauder]]''-style weapons pods carrying a Snub-Nose PPC with [[PPC Capacitor]] and an ER medium laser. The standard SRM-6 was replaced with a [[Clan]]-tech Streak SRM-6 and the medium lasers upgraded to extended-range models. The small lasers were removed, along with the machine guns and their ammunition, while [[CASE II]] protected the Streak ammunition.

In the mission it was designed for, the ''Warhammer'' is a very capable 'Mech. The design itself centers on the concept of long-range mobile fire. Because of this, and in order to mount a large enough arsenal to carry out its mission, the ''Warhammer'' carries only ten tons of armor, which is less than most 'Mechs of its own weight class. Adding to this is the fact that, although it is based on the concept of "Fire and Maneuver," it has a top speed of 64.8 km/h, which allows faster 'Mechs to close to ranges where the ''Warhammer's'' primary weapons are ineffective and its thin armor can be exploited. ''The Warhammer is one of the [[Unseen]] Mech designs.'' ==Armament== The primary weapons on the ''Warhammer'' 6R are a pair of arm-mounted Donal [[PPC]]s, which use highly charged accelerated particles to cause significant amounts of damage to enemy 'Mechs at long ranges. Together, both PPCs provide the combined firepower of an [[Autocannon/20]] with a much longer range bracket. For close combat situations, the ''Warhammer'' carries two Martell [[Medium Laser]]s and two Magna [[Small Laser]]s, which provide respectable close range firepower. To exploit any weak points in an enemy's armor, a Holly [[SRM-6]] is also carried and two Sperry Browning [[Machine Gun]]s act as an effective deterrent to infantry attacks. ==Variants== * WHM-4L - The 4L variant of the ''Warhammer'' is one of the newest variants of the 'Mech. It completely strips the armor, the engine, and [[heat sink]]s from the 'Mech. The 'Mech is powered by an [[XL Engine]] that weighs half as much as the original VOX power plant. The 'Mech also carries [[double heat sink]]s to vent the excess from its new weapons and its [[Stealth Armor]]. The 4L ''Warhammer''s primary weapons are two [[ER PPC]]s for long-range combat. These are backed up by four [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher for close range combat.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 189</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,321,<ref name=COCC>''Combat Operations'', p. 123</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,820<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 163</ref> * WHM-5L - This Capellan variant replaces the PPC's with [[Plasma Rifle]]s. Three [[ER Medium Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-4]] provide close-in support. Five jump jets allow the ''Warhammer'' to jump 150 meters.<ref name="tro85">''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 258</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,896<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 164</ref> * WHM-6D - An alteration of the 6R model, the 6D removed the Machine Guns and the SRM-6 launcher to add an additional four tons of armor to the design to increase its protection in case an enemy is able to close to short ranges with the ''Warhammer''. It also adds a pair of heat sinks.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 190</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,169,<ref name=COFS>''Combat Operations'', p. 128</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,471<ref name=MUL165>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 165</ref> * WHM-6K - Another basic modification to the ''Warhammer'', the 6K removes the Machine Guns and their volatile ammunition and replaces them with two heat sinks to allow the 6K model to more easily dissipate waste heat from its PPCs.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 191</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,022,<ref name=COFS /> BV (2.0) = 1,305<ref name=MUL165/> * WHM-6L - The 6L is a very basic weapons swap of the 6R model. The two Machine Guns have been removed and in their place there have been two [[Flamer]]s added for anti-infantry use. There are no other modifications or alterations on the 6R.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 192</ref> BV (1.0) = 943,<ref name=COCC /> BV (2.0) = 1,311<ref name=MUL165/> * WHM-6Rb - This upgrade of the 6R was used by the [[SLDF Royal units]]. The use of seventeen double heat sinks allows an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]] to be added to the SRM-6. [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor increases protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 169</ref> * WHM-6R (C) - A [[Clan]]-tech retrofit of the venerable ''Warhammer'' intended for second-line and [[solahma]] troops does not alter the 'Mechs structural components but replaces most of the [[Inner Sphere]]-tech weaponry of the original WHM-6R with Clan equivalents. The PPCs are replaced with [[Large Pulse Laser]]s, the [[SRM-6]] is upgraded to a [[Streak SRM-6]], and all of the lasers are upgraded to [[ER Medium Laser|ER Medium]] and [[ER Small Laser|ER Small]] Lasers. The [[Machine Guns]] remain the Inner Sphere variety. <ref name=BFT>''[[The Battle for Twycross]]'', pp. 46 & 49</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,668<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 175</ref> * WHM-7A - This variant uses an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure and sixteen double heat sinks. The PPCs are upgraded to [[ER PPC]]s and an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system is added to the SRM launcher. The Machine Guns and Small Lasers of the standard version are replaced with a pair of [[Small Pulse Laser]]s. The Medium Lasers in the side torsos are supplemented by two more medium lasers in the center torso. BV (2.0) = 1,679<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 47</ref> * WHM-7K - This variant is based on an [[Endo Steel]] skeleton. It carries ER PPCs, two Medium Lasers, and two Small Pulse Lasers. The SRM-6 is replaced by a pair of [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers, and a [[TAG]] system allows the 7K to spot for friendly artillery units. BV (2.0) = 1,651<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 165</ref> * WHM-7M - The 7M variant of the ''Warhammer'' removes the two Small Lasers and one of the Machine Guns and replaces them with an [[Anti-Missile System]]. Additionally, the 7M upgrades the heat sinks to double heat sinks and replaces the PPCs with [[ER PPC]]s.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 194</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,238,<ref name=COGen /> BV (2.0) = 1,487<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 166</ref> * WHM-7S - The 7S ''Warhammer'' upgrades most of the 'Mechs weapons and also upgrades the cooling system to double heat sinks. The 'Mech carries two ER PPCs, two Small Lasers, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and two [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 195</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,236,<ref name=COFS /><ref name=COLA>''Combat Operations'', p. 132</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,477<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 167</ref> * WHM-8D - The 8D shows some of the weapons exchanges that have taken place during the period of relative peace on the [[Federated Commonwealth]] and [[Draconis Combine]] border. The 'Mech is built using an [[Endo Steel]] chassis and has eighteen double heat sinks to dissipate its massive amounts of heat. The 'Mech carries two ER PPCs in traditional ''Warhammer'' fashion. For close range work, the 'Mech has two [[ER Medium Laser]]s, two [[ER Small Laser]]s, and a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher. Finally, to allow it to share targeting telemetry with other friendly units, the 8D carries a [[C3 Slave]].<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 196</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,396 (C3: 247),<ref name=COFS /> BV (2.0) = 1,744<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 168</ref> * WHM-8K - A field refit undertaken by the Combine during the [[Jihad]], the 8K is an upgrade of the ''Warhammer'' that strips out the weaponry of the 8D. It is protected by Valiant Ringmail [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, giving it slightly more protection than the 8D and additional mass to use. It puts this to work with paired Lord's Light 3 [[Heavy PPC|Heavy Particle Beam Weapons]]. The only backup weapon is a Guided Technologies [[Streak SRM-4]], which has a [[CASE]]-protected ammunition bin. Sixteen [[double heat sink]]s provide adequate heat-dissipation capabilities, while a C3 Slave Unit enable the 8K to share targeting telemetry with other like-equipped units.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 197</ref><ref>"Old Made New Again"</ref><ref name="tro85"/> BV (2.0) = 1,748<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 169</ref> * WHM-8M - The ''Warhammer'' 8M focuses on long range combat. The 'Mech has two ER PPCs, giving it a powerful long range punch, as well as a [[Light Gauss Rifle]] that allows the 'Mech to engage an enemy at extreme ranges. For close combat, the 'Mech has two [[ER Medium Laser]]s. For heat dissipation, the 8M has a meager twelve double heat sinks and carries thirteen tons of armor protection.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 198</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,326, BV (2.0) = 1,631<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 170</ref> * WHM-9D - Taking the concept of the 6D even further, the 9D is built on an Endo Steel chassis and uses an [[XL Engine]] to upgrade the maximum speed to 86 km/h. The 'Mech carries thirteen and a half tons of armor and is armed with two ER PPCs and two ER Medium Lasers. The 'Mech's weapons are all linked to an advanced [[Targeting Computer]], allowing the ''Warhammer'' to direct its firepower with uncanny accuracy. The 9D also has the additional advantage of being able to jump up to ninety meters with three [[jump jet]]s added to the 'Mech.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 199</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,841,<ref name=COFS /> BV (2.0) = 2,152<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 171</ref> * WHM-9S - The 9S ''Warhammer'' utilizes one of the latest pieces of technology from the [[Lyran Alliance]]. The 'Mech is built using a [[Light Fusion Engine]], which weighs seventy five percent of the weight of a normal fusion engine. The 'Mech uses this saved weight to add two additional heat sinks and upgrades the heat sinks to double heat sinks. The 'Mech carries two ER PPCs and two ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6 launcher. The 'Mech is also clad in thirteen tons of armor.<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 200</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,433,<ref name=COLA /> BV (2.0) = 1,653<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 172</ref> * WHD-10CT - A mass-produced factory model based on the successful arena custom known as the ''The Lich'', its altered model name referred to 'Mechs to which it owes lineage, the D for the ''[[Marauder]]'' and CT for the [[Nova Cat (BattleMech)|''Nova Cat'']]. While lacking ''The Lich''s more exotic experimental and Clan-tech components, it does retain the Heavy Gyro, Endo steel chassis, Light Fusion Engine and twelve and half tons of Light Ferro-Fibrous armor. The weapons themselves are relatively unchanged, mounting a Ceres Arms Thrasher Snub-Nose PPC in each arm, and a pair of [[Diverse Optics]] Sunfire ER Medium Lasers and Ceres Arms Model W Medium Pulse Lasers supported by a Sian/Ceres Stalking Cougar Streak SRM-6 Rack in its torsos. Thirteen double heat sinks and a Targeting Computer round out the variant<ref name=TRO3085S-32>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 32</ref>. BV (2.0) = 1,758 <ref name=TRO3085S-33>''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 33</ref> * WHM-10T - A refit of the 9D replaces the Targeting Computer and jump jets with Improved Jump Jets for a jump range of 210 meters. The ER PPCs are traded for standard PPCs.<ref name="tro85"/> BV (2.0) = 1,891<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 173</ref> * WHM-11T - This [[Taurian Concordat]] variant replaces all the standard weapons with two [[Snub-Nose PPC]]s, two [[Light PPC]]s, two [[ER Medium Laser]]s, and an [[MML-5]]. [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor and [[CASE]] protect the 'Mech. The most interesting part is the inclusion of five [[Improved Jump Jet]]s. Thirteen double heat sinks and an XL Engine complete the 'Mech. BV (2.0) = 1,698<ref name="tro85"/> *[[Dual Cockpit]] refits: In the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Capellan Confederation]], the ''Warhammer'' is one of the preferred 'Mechs to install Dual Cockpits on. Standard refits usually install the Dual Cockpit on a WHM-6R (Draconis Combine, removing two small lasers), a WHM-6L (Capellan Confederation, removing a flamer), or a WHM-7M (both, removing a medium laser). ===Custom Variants=== * WHM-X7 "The Lich" - This custom version uses [[Experimental Technology]] to make a fearsome arena fighter. Using a [[Hybrid Internal Structure]] and [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor for baseline protection, ''The Lich'' also uses an [[Armored Components|Armored Sensors]], [[Armored Components|Armored Engine]] and a [[Heavy Duty Gyro]] to stay in the fight a lot longer. The arm-mounted weapons were replaced with ''[[Marauder]]''-style weapons pods carrying a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] with [[PPC Capacitor]] and an [[ER Medium Laser]]. The standard SRM-6 has been replaced with a [[Clan]] Streak SRM-6 and the Medium Lasers upgraded to [[ER Medium Laser|extended range]] models. The small lasers have been removed, along with the Machine Guns and their ammunition. [[CASE II]] protects the Streak ammunition. ''The Lich'' would prove so successful, it resulted in the WHD-10CT a mass-produced factory variant heavily based upon it.
