T2K Cover Art

[Raellus]

I don't think we've ever had a thread devoted to Twilight 2000 cover art. What's your favorite? What do you like about it? Are there any covers that you can't stand?

I must confess that there are ulterior motives behind this thread. My Korea Sourcebook is nearing completion and I need a cover- something in the vein of the v1.0 adventure modules and/or sourcebooks. All I can offer in return is the cover art credit on the title page but, if you're interested and able, please PM me.

Going Home is just so damn evocative.

Honorable mention to the Gazetteer for Merc: 2000, though. It's got a "we're gonna go places and do stuff" vibe that I appreciate, and the tangent-sighted Hi-Power is a bonus.

The face on the Going Home cover dude was clearly modelled after Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin guitarist) c.84. Every time I see it I wonder what he's doing in the U.S. Army.

I really like Challenge #35. I think it captures the essence of Twilight 2000 better than any other piece of cover art that I've seen.

I'll never forget seeing Red Star Line Star at Hobby Haven in 1986-my first thought was "Wolverines!"

I voted "Other".

As much as I like the 1st Edition box set cover, I'm with Raellus. Challenge #35 was always my "go-to" image when I was talking to gamers about T2k. It's undoubtedly my fav image for the game.

Challenge #35

I agree Challenge 35 has the classic Twilight 2000 feel to it. A US vehicle and crew along with (based on the uniforms) West and East German and a Russian soldiers tagging along.

I went for 'Pirates'

I love boats so it was a toss-up between Pirates and the Spanish Main. I think Pirates is the better image FOR Twilight2000.

Based on the new responses on the Favorite APC/IFV poll, I thought a little more thread necromancy might be in order.

I really like the cover art for the upcoming Fria Ligan version Of the game. I’m not real keen on the melty looking interior art so hopefully for the vehicles they have color plates again.

The cover to the ver 1 box set has my vote.
There's just something about the scene that gets you thinking about what they are going through without even reading anything

I have no idea why I didn't include the v1 cover art as a poll option. It's an inexcusable lapse for which I apologize. It was my entree to T2k as an 11-year old kid and will always hold a special place in my memory.
