  M87 is the first extragalactic source detected in the TeV range that is not a
blazar. The large scale jet of M87 is not aligned with the line of sight.
Modification of standard emission models of TeV blazars appears necessary to
account for the gamma-ray observations made by H.E.S.S. despite this
misalignment.
  We present a new multi-blob synchrotron self-Compton model that deals
explicitly with large viewing angles and moderate values of the Lorentz factor
inferred from MHD simulations of jet formation.
