My Boar's Head - the original design is a prime example of why I dislike IS XLs. I usually got dead shortly after contact with the enemy by losing a side torso. I made some changes that I think kept to the spirt of the mech but made it deadlier overall. I'm pretty sue I've surprised several pilots who though it was an easy kill.
BOAR'S HEAD
My Black Widow - still surprisingly effective ... has one of the better KDRs of all my heavies
BLACK WIDOW
My Grid Iron - Gauss in side torso + XL + 64.8 kph = bad for me. This design is simpler, faster and works better for me.
GRID IRON
My Enforcer's - tanky and tough. I wish the 4P had jump jets though ...

That being said, an elited STK-5M with five SRM6s, 3 ERLLs, and a STD 300 is a forced to be reckoned with.

In all seriousness the XL's speed and extra tonnage for self defense weapons well outweighs the loss in durability for a mech that can armor roll as well as the hunchy. You could try a build like this GRID IRON or this more secondline sniper build GRID IRON.
Completely unrelated, but are you a connoisseur of dakka? BLACK WIDOW is.

This is a the case for many right torsos on Marauders.

Stun your enemy when your ZombieCust Mk.II does not die on a ST explosion. You can keep going and do the same damage because your weapons are all CT mounted!
The Undead Crow relies on the RVN's ungodly massive ST hitbox to shield your CT from further damage. RVN-2X has a shield arm on the left side that can take a bit of punishment as well.

Lose a hs or down the CT LLas to 2 meds for more armour if you like, either way this can dish out and take a lot of damage.

I run a similar build with a LPL in the CT, with fewer heatsinks. I really enjoy this mech, the quirks are very good and I think most people don't expect a STD engine IS medium. Someone suggested replacing the LPL with two MPL, I think that also makes sense, but it's still a lot of fun in any case.

I wish I had the c-bills to try out every mech but these are two I bought,tried and had the most luck with.
Personally I favor the hunchback,this specific model as my favorite so far in the game.
