The '''''Balius''''' is a quadrupedal, front-line [[OmniMech]] produced by [[Clan Hell's Horses]]. As of [[3075]], few details were available about the [['Mech]]. It is a [[totem 'Mech]], resembling a horse, that is meant to improve morale as much as to be an effective combat unit. There is apparently no factory producing this design. Instead, it is hand-crafted by a crew of technicians specifically selected for the task by the [[Khan]]. This has led to few ''Balius''' being produced, so the 'Mech is only in the hands of select [[Bloodname]]d warriors.<ref name=TRO142 />

Truly a frontline Omni, the ''Balius'' makes use of weight-saving technologies in the form of an [[Endo Steel]] chassis, eleven tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, and an [[XL engine]]. However, on a quad, this leaves little room for other components. It does allow for great speed, though, and the ''Balius'' maxes out at 97 km/h, quite fast for a 'Mech its size.<ref name=TRO142 />

The ''Balius'' has a [[Creosote Special-H]] [[Flamer]] hard-mounted in its head that is useful both against [[infantry]] and as a psychological weapon. The primary configuration mounts two [[ER Large Laser]]s. These are supplemented by a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s for close range work. Every configuration of the ''Balius'' mounts rear-facing weapons to counter the inability of a quad to torso-twist. The prime carries another pair of Medium Pulse Lasers for this job. Four extra [[double heat sink]]s keep heat levels in check.<ref name=TRO142 />
