Overview:
    The Warhammer is a legendary machine, one that has been the chosen ride of many of the best
    pilots the Inner Sphere has ever seen. The Hellbringer, one of the harbingers of the wrath
    of the Jade Falcons during the early days of the Clan Invasion. It was only natural someone
    would eventually try to merge the two together into a terrifying new omnimech. As such, the
    Nidhogg (designed as Vidofnir for the Inner Sphere market) was born, ready to wade into the
    32nd century.
    
    The Nidhogg was the brainchild of the collaboration between the new Falcons, D&K Creation
    Studios, and a certain four mercenary companies. Designed as a reliable, cost effective
    omnimech that could pack one hell of a punch, the Nidhogg uses elements from both the
    Hellbringer and Warhammer for ease of repair. Keeping to a very simple construction it uses
    only using endo steel as a weight saving measure, with 11.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor
    provide maximum protection for its size. While it may not be the fastest 'Mech on the field,
    moving at a stable 64 km/h, its reliability coupled with 32 pods of open space ensure it has
    a very good niche as an anchor on the battlefield.

Capabilities:
    The personal configuration of Modi "Herakles" Thorman, test pilot of the initial prototypes
    of the chassis, and one built with the intent to brawl at all ranges using a mixture of clan
    and inner sphere technologies. In this case, in the words of the pilot himself "I shall
    replace the history of thunder and lightning with the wrath and steel of hell."
    
    Armed with twin Hyper-Assault Gauss 20s that are protected with CASE II, each fed with two
    tons of ammunition, as well as an Multi-Missile Launcher 5 fed with two tons of ammunition
    for maximum flexibility, it certainly lives up to its pilot's intent. Not satisfied with the
    mounted weaponry and with tonnage left over, two small x-pulse lasers are mounted in the
    central torso to both deter infantry and to allow the 'mech to continue fighting on until
    either the engine dies, or he does.
