This fortnight, we will look at the FrankenMech that made it big, the
Cataphract. The 'Mech is a mainstay of the CCAF and can be found in the AFFS and LAAF as well (at least until the end of the Jihad). More background information and information on using it in game can be found in its
'Mech of the Week article.
There are three metal minis for the
Cataphract:
- The first sculpt (20-771), for the CTF-3D, released initially by Ral Partha and still available through IWM.
- The slightly modified sculpt for Cataphract CTF-2X (George) variant in the Fox's Teeth set (10-033) to go with Starterbook: Sword and Dragon.
- The sculpt for the CTF-0X (20-5120), a variant shown in XTRO: Succession Wars I.
CGL's Command Lance Pack includes a plastic sculpt of the
Cataphract, which is based on (if not identical to) the CTF-3D sculpt.
Please post any miniatures you'd like to share with us. We'd love to see them!
As always, thank you for reading and a special thank you to those who post!
Our next fortnights will be:
- Clan (10/22): Ice Ferret (Fenris)
- Inner Sphere (11/5): Banshee
