Blood Reaver Quicksilver BattleMech
« on: August 20, 2018, 03:50:15 PM »
Helping Takiro flush out some of the fluff for some designs expedited by Quicksilver while he's on the beaches of Kauai (lucky bastard  ;) ). The Blood Reaver is the inspiration from a miniature ordered by our mutual friend Gus of the Blood Reaper which the guys fell in love with. Wanting to make use of it, it was chosen to be moved forward with production changed to a Smoke Jaguar design instead.

I'll include Takiro's original design that I tweaked. Let us know which you like best.

Description
The Blood Reaver is a design only recently completed by the Smoke Jaguars. The Jaguar leadership is looking to improve production on an already impressive array of heavy ‘Mechs consisting of the Warhawk, Mad Dog and the Ebon Jaguar. While the Jaguars are able to mix in the occasional Timber Wolf gained as isorla many of their warriors disliked having to utilize their rivals design. With the success of their scientist caste reverse engineering the Timber Wolf they chose to drop the tonnage of the design down to 70 tons in an effort to save on resources. The success of the design can be contributed to a successful raid of a minor Wolf facility on Tranquil that netted the Jaguars some of the Wolves scientist caste that helped put the finishing touches on the design.

The designs original intent was to be an OmniMech but with the lack of resources currently facing the Clan leadership chose instead on an static design. While not an OmniMech the partial modularization of the design allows for repairs and refits to be an estimated 50% quicker than most other static designs. This also has allowed for many variations of the design in a short period of time. No Blood Reavers have yet been fielded by other Clans allowing the Smoke Jaguars to surprise many of its foes that have attempted to take advantage of the Clan’s believed weaknesses following their losses in the Inner Sphere.

Deployment
Being issued to both Frontline and PGC clusters to fill the void left from the losses on Luthien and Tukyyaid Smoke Jaguar has been issuing many Trials of Possession in an effort to gain resources and bondsman. Notably the new Blood Knight design has already had a few contests between the two new 70 ton heavy ‘Mechs. Some Jaguar warriors have specifically chosen crusader leaning warriors from such Clans as Diamond Shark,-Snow Raven and Goliath Scorpion piloting the new Blood Knight for Trials of Possession to help fill the Touman.

Weapons and Equipment
Designed originally as an OmniMech with its inherit versatile nature. When the design was converted to static frame the design incorporated that philosophy into its weapon layout. Armed with twin hard hitting ER PPC’s, one in each arm, these weapons are able to remove nearly a ton of armor apiece at nearly 700 meters. Complementing the main armament are an LRM-15 supported with the Artemis IV Fire Control System for increased missiles accuracy and the accurate and hard hitting Streak SRM 6 system. With these systems to exploit any weaknesses left by the PPC’s the design also features twin Medium Pulse Lasers to target specific weaknesses at shorter ranges. Learning from the stravags faced in their battles a single ER Small is mounted in the rear for any opponents that attempt to flank the ‘Mech.

Variants
With the ease of switching out weapon systems on this design a few variants have been sited so far in their limited engagements. Spotted in a Trial of Grievance between a Snow Raven and Smoke Jaguar warrior this variant utilized twin Large Pulses in the arms backed by a duo of LRM 15s. In a duel on Strana Mechty between the Jaguars and Goliath Scorpion a variant was spotted with a Gauss ER PPC combo in its arms backed by a twin Streak SRM 6 pack. Rumors have been circulating on Chatterweb while there is some versatility with the design, missile systems seem to be limited to the designs torsos and ballistic and energy weapons are limited to the arms. Whether this is true or not is in doubt as while the Jaguars have been having a streak of failures in recent engagements one must always remember the cunning of their Totem.

Shaka brotha!  8)

Yeah a couple of new age Mechs caught Chris (Gus) eye and we decided to downgrade to our current era. Please let us know what you think. Here is the original Blood Reaper from Battletech wiki

really nice work, you've made a 'down tier' Blood Reaper from TRO3085, the main difference being the lack of ATM's, nice designs and very nice background data :D

Thanks, yea the reason I switched from Taks twin Streak SRM 6 idea to the LRM15 Streak combo was the versatility of those missiles which can be upgraded in the future to the ATMs of canon.

It is so good to have a computer back. Typing is so much easier and now I have access to all my ramblings for you to see. Nice job Bradshaw with this while I was away. Gonna repost my original here for you to see and talk finish product soon. A lot of my stuff is in note form and incomplete. I will no doubt draw on yours and Bradshaws thoughts to complete it. The [] are unfilled component names which I have to research for the Jaguars still to fill out the design.

BLOOD REAVER
Mass: 70 tons
Chassis: [] EndoSteel
Power Plant: [] 280 XL
Cruising Speed: 43 kph
Maximum Speed: 64 kph
Jump Jets: [4]
   Jump Capacity: 120 meters
Armor: [] Standard
Armament: 2 [] Extended Range Particle Projection Cannons
2 [] Extended Range Medium Lasers
2 [] Streak SRM-6s
Manufacturer: Abysmal Manufacturing Complex
   Primary Factory: Huntress
Communications System: []
Targeting and Tracking System: []

OVERVIEW

Development of the Blood Knight
Smoke Jaguar still smarting from a defeat inflicted by Diamond Shark Blood Knights led by Star Captain Lionel on Vinton has yet to express any interest.
This incident set the rebuilding Clan on a mission to build the anti-Blood Knight

Originally developers of the Blood Reaver were Mechwarrior Gustav and Technician Jayson

A cheaper alternative to the Blood Knight
A destroyer instead of a protector
Commissioning this high end BattleMech

Khan Lincoln Osis and saKhan Nahuel Montizima


1. 70 tons over 75 tons due to cost or resource concerns. Failing the Quicksilver Industrial Stress Test and the lack of resources the Clan is dealing with. One reason the Jags think this Mech is better than the Blood Knight is lower price tag

2. While reverse engineering or studies of the Timber Wolf have gone on for a while this design was going to be a later Quicksilver design begun in 3053

3. Possible stealth challenger for the Hellcat or the Summoner. Near modular design which could be upgraded for that reason. Like many Quicksilver Mechs this is another stealth omni and if you read up on the Blood Reaper another variant uses a 350XL, if u can switch power plants easily enough u could eventually challenge the Summoner or the Hellcat

4. Your absolutely right about the Jags holding onto exclusive possession thus far but i am think Wolf maybe the chief challenger to that, more bitter rivalry

5. Take a look at Reaving in context to the Clans and Bloodnames. I get the picture this Mech might frequently square off against Blood Knights in Reavings

6. Rivalry with the Blood Knight and Hellcat both Nova Cat designs plays into this design and is especially pronounced

7. Wolf Angle. Do you want to add something about capturing Wolf designers as a nod to canon creation story? The Wolves are certainly happy to jettison Crusaders, especially medicore ones, to other Clans while incorporating Wardens. Of course, Nahuel Montizima and his Supremacists hate any none Jaguar.

CAPABILITIES
The design was inspired by the Timber Wolf    

Cost – 14,687,434 C-bills compared to the more expensive Blood Knight


DEPLOYMENT
Jaguar Knights and other frontline units have received this premier BattleMech well

Light Clusters will now be known as the Smoke Reavers and they will concentrate in Delta Galaxy fighting the InnerSphere. Equipped with Light OmniMechs (Mist Lynx, Arctic Cheetah, etc), Naval Elementals and Naval Aerospace Pilots they will mercilessly attack House Kurita. While the Reavers get a full trinary of aerospace fighters other clusters in the touman will likely get a star or maybe two which is a big cause not too many units had integral fighter support.

VARIANTS
You can swap ER Mediums for ER Smalls and swap Streaks for LRM-15s

a lot of good ones here to choose from but I expect this pocket front line Mech which is near modular like other Quicksilver BattleMechs to have a few right from the start, also don't underestimate the idea of this high end BattleMech which several Clans denied a manufacturing place in the Trials have turned to increasingly
