Snow Tiger Ogre Mark IV

In 2074, the Combine was flush with the success of the largest cybertank to date, the Ogre Mk. III. Designers were tasked with building a bigger, better Ogre. Rather than build one unit to do everything, they designed two: the Mk. V for short-range, high-intensity exchanges, and the Mk. IV for fast strike, long-range power.

The Ogre Mk. IV carries a single main gun, and a pair of secondaries. However, its primary weapons are the three missile racks mounted in the rear, loaded with 5 missiles each. In addition, it moves faster than any other unit, short of a GEV – a full 4 hexes (8") per turn. A certain amount of durability was sacrificed to achieve such speeds though; this cybertank has only 56 tread units. The Ogre Mk. IV adds 150 points to your army.

The Mark IV cybertank was a part of a multiple objective program to out-do the Paneuropean Fencer design. This model was designed as a fast raider type Ogre, with the next mark being a heavier type for assault operations.

Getting something the size of a city block to move quickly proved difficult and the Mark IV was not produced until 2086. The Mark IV is a missile flinging sports tank but not designed to stand up and fight.
