Nicely done!

Nice camo, but I think you overdid the shade of mech shapes a bit (mainly the legs), because it looks too stealthy for a mech.

Looks good

IH, would you mind sharing that template once you've finished cleaning it up etc, the last one you cleaned up for the cicada was ace

Judging by his post, I'd say we'll have to wait for Garth to post a picture of Cataphract in better quality.

Yeah I saw that, but I don't recall Garth having said that though?

Neither do I, but even if he didn't, I'd love him to post a more refined version of it.

Well, I haven't found that message lxxxl is talking about. Did he find it on the Russian forum? Anyway, I am back to template work. Question: can this official variant support JJ's or does its setup have max'd out tonnage?

My attempt on Cataphract CTF-3D


I stepped away from canonical design by moving Ultra Autocannon-5 to left torso - that would allow
to balance centre of mass which is very helpful when you are hopping on jump jets.

Great piece of montage. You scooped me on that idea of using the template in the new desert concept.

I think there's an anti-repaint lobby at PGI these days. Latest 3 'Mechs, though amazingly well designed by FD, are a pain to clean up for overpaint jobs. Alright I'll admit this does not fix anything... but it felt good to say it.

After I faced massive problems with cleaning Cataphract art (which I kind of fell in love with, tbh ), I've addressed Garth for help (in PM) with fine quality picture in order to help entire our community to see better repaints. He said, that PGI knows about the issue and that they are working to resolve it. Image is changed somehow after/during upload, if I got it right from his words.
So we have two options: wait for updated art or clean up blurry one (what is real pain, at least for me). I still hope for Kyle's and Garth's help on that; everybody loves repaints topic, quiaff ?

The official picture is our Cataphract with AC/10, PPC, 4MLs and no JJ.

The one I "wanted to start a holy war" over is attempt to make the crappy Davion variant with UAC/5, LBX-AC/10, 4MLs and JJs.


Speaking of teh difference, the JJs are the only thing that is good about it, really, rest is a completely broken mech.

Actually, as long as you can keep the main guns from falling silent ( ie; pack a lot of ammo ) it's not a half bad variant, with the dual ACs you can do some pretty serious damage from any range, and the MLs can help you fall back to rearm and resupply. Just my two C-bills ;P

Why did you make the Caesar based on the original loadout, then?
