I'm currently working on mastering the Cataphract chassis. I've done the 1X, 3D, and now the 2X. I decided against the 4X because dakka really isn't my thing. The 2X is pretty interesting. It's the one 'Phract that really requires three weapon systems to be integrated together, which is both frustrating and rewarding.

This was my first build on the 2X. I've since dropped the XL 300 for a STD 280, and have reduced the Gauss to an AC10. They were both too fragile, and for some reason I just can't help but charge into the fray with the thing. Still, it has such a large Alpha that I seem to melt through people if I can get them to stand still. I may end up eschewing long range combat entirely and seeing if I can get an AC20 on the thing..

Side note: I added music because I was listening to music in the last two clips. It's pretty much guaranteed when I solo. I didn't want to lose the first game's audio, though, so I picked something with a long build up.
