Im thinking of making a Rogue Trooper videogame mockup for the art competition, but i dont have any reference material for what Nu-Earth really looks like! I remember lots of vague wasteland from stories in 2000ad but I would love to see some vistas in colour that show the landscape and terrain to try and nail it down. If anyone could help me find some such images id be very grateful!

Great game! got it on my ps2. Was thinking of comics reference though, wouldnt want my videogame interpretation of the comics to be based on someone else's videogame interpretation :)

Tatooine by way of The Somme, with Rogue's feet hidden in chem cloud is the standard depiction. Bio-wire is a must, and it doesn't look like Nu Earth to me unless there's one of Cam Kennedy's radial sun bursts in there somewhere:

Not the best examples, but I don't have a scanner.

thanks very much sauchie, I looked at covers but i missed that one with the rocks in the background. I like the two rocks that are slanted, I think ill use that. plenty of chem mist everywhere too. Ill see what i can do about the sun, it definitely calls to mind arid deserts! Ill see if i can get some bio wire in there too, but itll probably be static in the background.. though saying that maybe it could be an obstacle to avoid..
