Battleborne Clan Wolf medium OmniMech.

Background

As Khan Vlad Ward sought to rebuild the Wolves battered Tourman during the 'quiet' after the Jihad several projects were afoot, the 70 ton Blood Reaper was one of the fruits of this rebuilding, another was a new Medium Mech to work alongside the popular Stormcrow.  Unfortunately for the Wolves, the Stormcrow was becoming rare in their Tourman due to heavy losses and a lack of production facilities.  Designed in part with assistance from Clan Hells Horses who would also produce the Mech to help restore their equally mauled Tourman the Mech was designed in the general mold of the Stormcrow although its more angular and aggressive hull and broad shouldered stance led to it being called a 'mini-Blood Reaper'.  Unfortunately Khan Ward would not see the Mech enter service as delays in its production and development due to its armour saw it delayed several times and Khan Ward was killed in battle months before the first Battleborne was produced.  The death of the Khan nearly also killed the Battleborne, but the joint production work between the Wolves and Horses had already seen the two Clans share the base design of the Mech and the Wolves had in return learned how to correctly forge Ferro-Lamellor armour from the Horses.  Plus, with all the investment sunk into the Mech's design, it would have been more expensive to simply cancel it this late in the design and construction process, and so the Battleborne survived.
