Very glad I got my Thug and Cyclops before they discontinued the IS Force Packs. Surprised at just how many units are getting shelved, but supposedly they're bringing all the shelved units back in future releases.

I needed a Thug for my 'P(P)ea(C)e of Blake Upon Thee" Lance.
 
Fill out a Tinder profile for it and see who responds to it.

Jokes aside, is there anything you notice you're missing? Like a frontline brawler to divert shots away from the Marauder? Distraction mechs to help you get better shot angles? You using the Marauder as your frontline unit? A horde of Firestarters for some flambé fun?

Hmm probably a frontline brawler, I need something fast enough to get into the frontline but beefy enough to not immediately die when it gets there.
 
Depending on the specific timeframe (Clan era is a bit vague) some of the newer updates make for excellent partners (Shadow Hawk 5M). A Wraith would also work well as it hauls ass around the battlefield; they can shoot at the deranged pulse laser boat, or the Marauder who's casually lining up those PPC shots.
 
The proper answer is a Locust or Urbie buddy with a small laser.

You never go wrong with an emotional support small laser on your team.
I'm unironically thinking of running a Marauder II MAD-5A and an SuburbanMech UM-R100

Both painted like the Kellhounds because I like their red paint scheme
 
Sounds like you want something on the lines of a Wolverine or a Grasshopper.

If you only have 3000 BV, I would just upgrade the Mechwarrior's gunnery and piloting

Thank you, guys, for answering. I liked all of your suggestions, but after digging through my unpainted models and doing some research into the Kell Hounds, who I've kinda gravitated towards now in my painting, I've figured out what I'm going to do.

Marauder II MAD-5A and Javelin JVN-10F "Fire Javelin." According to the Master Unit List, the Kell Hounds had a Javelin, and I had an unpainted Innersphere recon lance that I had lying around.

I end up sitting at around 2893 BV
 
I replaced the ANH-5W annihilator in one of my wolf’s dragoons stars for an Amarok. I like it a lot more because it can still hit hard without waddling like a retard and being ganged up on.

Amarok is by far one of the slickest designs out there and to be fair Matt Plog does hit a lot out of the ballpark with his mech designs. I hate the OG Executioner design but his take on it makes me want to get one.
