Another brainchild of Khan Alaric Ward, the Grimnir was actually developed to be a cheaper and ‘safe’ option should the Warwolf design not be able to perform as needed.  At 65 tons the Grimnir is smaller, lighter and consumes less resources but is built to be heavily armed and flexible.

As it used more commonly available resources like endo-steel and normal ferro-fibrous plate armour the Mech was easier to produce in bulk at the mobile factories the Wolves depended on as they were establishing the Wolf Empire. 

Its ease of production ensured that the Grimnir was available in large numbers during Operation HAMMERFALL and the foundation of the Wolf Empire.  The Germanic sounding name was also a very deliberate choice by Khan Ward, initially seen as a name chosen to please the Lyran’s who they would be fighting alongside, it became an insult or threat when Khan Ward’s genetic heritage was revealed. 
Faster than the popular Blood Reaper and Tundra Wolf, the Grimnir was a successful Mech if not quite as popular with the Warrior Caste as other machines. Despite being viewed as a 'workman-like' design the Grimnir performed well and was liked by Warriors assigned to them.

this is a weird comparison. but somehow due to the left arm i am reminder of the old SLDF Rifleman mechs if you marged it with a marauder or catapult.
