". . . we call it the Last War, not because it was mankind's final battle, but because the world which started the war no longer existed by its close. It lasted forty years, and it saw the destruction of four mighty empires. Two generations never knew a world without conflict; few were not personally touched by its ravages, and fewer still remembered a world without Ogres . . ." – from "After the Long Winter: Roots of the New World" University of Melbourne, 2250

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

GEV-PC

Note sure where this first appeared - probably in B&W and later colourised like some of other works - but it is dated 1985. 

Artist: Graham Chaffee

Combine LGEV

An iconic piece: Graham Chaffee's original Light Ground Effect Vehicle (LGEV).

I'm not sure where this was first published but I've always found it an inspiring image.


An inverted version was published with the "Riding the Shockwave" article in The Space Gamer 71

apologies for the low res scan



A later coloured version
