Battlelords - Celebrating 20 Years was created by AVPIbattlelords

Hi guys.

I'm starting this thread as a general catch-all to talk about our own sci-fi Franchise 'Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century®'

Now in its 20th year of print, Battlelords started out as a tabletop RPG book and game series of supplements. In the mid-nineties there were also miniatures and a collectible card game produced. SSDC continues to put out new books and reprints of the RPG series. They are currently working on the 7th printing of the main rulebook and a new spaceship supplement.

We at Athena Virtual Productions, Inc. (AVPI) currently have a lot of plans for the Franchise in the works. Soon we will be releasing a free casual game on Facebook to introduce a lot more people to this vibrant universe. I will update this thread in the weeks and months to come.

You can learn more about Battlelords here .


If you know anyone who is a sci-fi fan I hope you will help us spread the word about our Universe.

Sincerely, Andrew Bator
COO, AVPI

Thanks for your interest Lobizon,

The creation of this piece has come a long way. The artist is indeed Nenad Petrović. Ultra Armor are more commonly known on the battlefield as 'Humpty Dumpties' because of their shape. They were originally designed by Mike Osadciw for the first edition of Battlelords in 1990. Nenad has been reviewing all our art assets and actually used parts of different models made three years ago from different modelers on our team, Carsten Holtmann and Richard Jeferies.

Richard Jeferies was the main artist of 2007 Battlelords book supplement 'Engines of War' which features statistics and art for 23rd century ground vehicles, 'flying cars' & Hover Tanks (called Skimmers) and a whole line of Walkers, Crawlers, and Ultra Armor. When I showed Nenad the original art from the 90s, he agreed it had a very unique look so we began tweaking the designs that appeared in Engines of War for our online games here at AVPI.
