I'm new to Blkout and enjoying the game. So far my biggest hang up has been with when I can use Battle Drills. Are these abilities I activate per unit, or do I use them at the beginning of the turn and everyone can use them that turn?
Also how often can I use them? Can I use them every turn for every unit or is there some kind of limit on them?
Thanks for the help!
Looking to add dusters into my game but I would like to see their unit/armory cards to try some proxy games before investing into the models. Is there anyway to access these cards without buying the models themselves?
I decided to do my Manticore group a little different. Overall I really like them with the metallic visors painted over with red speed paint.
Not sure if this is supposed to be a glass sensor array, but it's getting the same treatment as my Battletech Mechs. Anything I should add?
Miniatures were primed with black, then painted with Vallejo acrylic, Nuln oil, and dry-brushed with pale sand color, but they turned out more white. It is difficult to paint white; it kept on pooling. Any tips or processes are welcome
This is the first miniature I've painted since 40k 8th edition started, painted one of the Boone Strikeforce models to test out colorschemes before I get the rest of them going.
Just wanted to take a second to praise Rob at ESS, the company that makes Blkout. My starter set had a broken/missing bit from the boone robot sprue. They made it right with a replacement sprue and logged the batch number to make sure it was just a fluke occurrence. Good customer service goes a long way. Can't wait to get everything painted now.
Super excited to play my fully painted Manticore team!
I haven't had the chance to check out their rules yet, but besides the primary squad, what other units can they field? Dusters, specialists, etc? I've been trying to see what other models they can bring typically.
Completed my first test mini from Manticor group! Loving the near future tacticool design. Decided on green fatigues to give it more color. The helmet color will serve as color code for different units to stand out on the table. Critiques welcomed
Please be patient with me: I'm sure this has been asked before, but a quick search didn't find results. I also subscribe to Tabletop Minions' motto: "every game is miniatures agnostic if you wish it hard enough".
How feasible is it to play BLKOUT with other miniatures? I like the official minis but I'm heavily invested in my existing collection (I own an unhealthy number of minis from all periods and settings, and in particular, my Wargames Atlantic Death Fields collection is in danger of reaching "black hole" levels of critical mass). So I don't want to buy more minis.
I also own some STL of mechs from Electi Studio's Arsenal game, which I think could double as Dusters? (No infantry though, again: Wargames Atlantic!).
So how feasible is it to play BLKOUT with my existing collection? Would I be going too much against the grain?

Mostly finished my task force Boone models. Just have to do some touch ups on spots I missed. I tried going for a plain cloths look on my recon team. Next week I play my first game against my buddy who has the other half of the starter box. Can’t wait to try out the game!
Hey guys, i’ve been trying to find information about the availability of BLKOUT miniatures in Brazil, but haven’t had much luck so far.
Does anyone know if they are officially distributed here or if there are any local stores/importers that carry them? If not, what’s the best way to get them shipped to Brazil without absurd costs or issues with customs?
Any help or shared experience would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
The U.N may be awful in the Blkout world but I gotta love how they apparently issue the robots some trousers.
