I saw this in the The Successor States area and thought that we should have our own, for me it is the Clan Ghost Bear Ostrogoth
Federated Suns fan forever, Ghost Bear Fan since 1992, and as a Ghost Bear David Bekker star captain (in an Alt TL Loremaster)

The Hellstar is great for the Exile Wolves, and the Blood Reaper for the Wolves. (If the Night Wolf had different weapons it would be in there but it does have cool looks)

CSR: Shadow Hawk IIC 7

The other versions of the lighter Clan Shadowhawk have been lackluster at time, this version has a decent weapons package that compliments the Space Profile and gets the job done. This is a mech I would want to have out there hunting pirates, defending a moonbase, or hopping out the side of the CSRS Snow Raven. ;)

zephyros and hellstar for the horses fan in me, and the raven fan in me loves the wusun, deimos and omen
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Well, there's obviously nothing Coyote, so I'll go with the CSR Deimos.  Especially the Alpha.

The Blood Reaper, Carnivore, Warg, Nightwolf in that order.
From a 'Mech grave he rose, snarling
Ready to do battle for his vanquished Clan
Stalking the Falcon Khans, who would remake us
His actions, the Wolf incarnate

I'm honestly surprised that's the first mention of the Carnivore. It's one hell of a MBT. I know I'm jealous.  :P

You really like the Balius? Or the thought of the Balius? Have you used the thing yet?

The Balius encourages creative use, and i like the 6/9 movement and certain wacky configs, which makes it a lot of fun when fielding it. It can do much better compared to certain Quads i could name. Plus it is the Horse totem.

Fave: Karhu, obviously. The avatar says it all. The bears have been due a quick, jumping cavalry heavy, and while the primary config is more fun than useful, the alternate configs are brutal. After that, the Bruin is a nice Assault version of my favorite mech, the Grizzly. It's an Assault capable of bullying virtually anything below 80 tons, and throwing enough damage downrange with enough mobility to act as a good heavy harasser for slower assault mechs.

Well when your purpose is to be a trading token with neighboring factions, it'd be hard for the artwork to not top the fluff.

The artwork detracted from the stats to me.  It just struck me as cartoony.
