Armoured units of A.D. 2085

Armoured units of A.D. 2085, by Winchell Chung

Superheavy

I've always loved the SHVY, both conceptually and in the game. I guess because its the spiritual successor to the King Tiguier, JS-3, Centurion and the opther big tanks that emerged at the end of WW2. 

This is Graham Chaffee’s original art for it's introduction in GEV, and which was reprinted in The Ogre Book, 2nd edition

It also appeared in a Shockwave review article in the The Space Gamer 71 but mirror imaged

Apologies for the low res scan

Angry OGRE!

Super fun original artwork by Lee Madison, circa 2017:

"Angry OGRE!! The MK V Ogre runs amok and really, really wants to get that pesky GEV!! A fun cartoony version of the mighty cybertank from the famous and classic Steve Jackson game. I admit to being a big fan of OGRE, and have loads of the miniatures in my 6mm Grand Army."
