Caesar 3D Sculpt
Added 2021-12-23 11:28:51 +0000 UTC
Here's one that's been sitting and waiting to be shown for a while. Honestly it just bores me to death doing the rendering process on these, which is why you see me bias towards posting the sketches, easier and more exciting :)
Design by Bishop, sculpt by Alan Blackwell.
[insert space here for Bishop to brag about his cool gauss rifle design]
it has the largest winsdscreen of any mech done yet not named Battlemaster.

so missed a golden oppurtunity here... "Render unto Caesar"...

Looks decent, but I miss his pistol and huge windshield. If you showed me this render two years ago I would just say it's a Cataphract. Which it more or less is, but it seems to have lost a bit of its unique Caesar-ese somewhere along the line here. The CCG art for this mech was still its most shining moment (and the first Inner Sphere mech card with a base 5 attack)!

Looks great. Not sure where it started, but gauss rifles having non-rounded barrels is the iconic look to me, so I'm all aboard for this one.

We put the grip to a management vote and the side mount win out, though it's still droppable.

Still think it’s too much glass to be practical…but this looks great in 3D.

I actually wish it retained the (totally ridiculous and unrealistic) pistol in the right hand.

I didn’t see this one coming, but it’s a great piece. The updated gauss rifle looks great.
Any chance we could see a side by side with the cataphract?

Yup, love this! My minis-to-paint queue is already super long, but if this ever gets released it’ll jump to the front.

The Caesar is a bit of a weird one. Making a "properly designed" version of the Cataphract is such a Davion flex, and doing at a smokescreen for a mech you _actually_ care about keeping secret is the kind of Clever Dickery they also go in for. Ofc, it's a BETTER mech in most circumstances than the Axeman, but that's not that hard...

Also are these "sharable", what with the design already in the semi wild?

Oh yeah! Need this in a mini form

Is that a Gauss Rifle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Also no mention of the cool Jettison Capable PPC? ;)

At first i thought, "Bishop doing a not underdog mech?" But then i realised, its an Eggmech, of course its part of bishops holy mechdesign crusade. Looks great!
