BLKOUT commission for a friend

My buddy who lacks painting skills commissioned me to paint some BLKOUT miniatures up for him. We started this venture back in late 2024? Anyways this will add to his growing force. 

The following are Badlands Elite Mercenaries. 

4 Szabla Units – Two disciplined riflemen armed with FB-M3B battle rifles for long-range engagements, supported by an EWAR operative to counter data attacks and a heavy marksman wielding the AM-190 Linear Gauss Rifle for high-impact strikes.

4 Banak Dust Elements – Two Banak Grunts with PM50 subguns and disposable launchers for long-distance disruption, backed by a data Specialist and a near-inorganic Djinn equipped with the armor-piercing MASX-101 rifle.

Data Handler

The following are mixture (I got them mixed up in photos) of a Manticor Bratva Team - Manticor Insertion Team - Manticor Cyka (the big dude)

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT UN Raid Force Alpha but this time for a friend

 A buddy of mine who doesn't have the skills had me paint these up for him. I didn't mind since it was a small group of figures, plus the fact I told him he had to play this game with me;)

So I painted these up a bit different from the ones I painted for myself, but I think they still do the job.

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT: Manticor Borz Group

 It's been about four or five months since I painted any BLKOUT models. So it was refreshing to come back and do something a little different from my last few projects. BLKOUT is an Ultra Modern, Science Fiction type of game. 

These models have been painted for me, just me. That always feels satisfying to say that. Not for this person, not for that person, just me. 

Here's a little extract about them.

"Manticor prides itself on physical strength, and their combat tactics mirror this. Implacable in their attack, layers of ballistic armor let the soldiers of the Manticor Borz Force shrug off hits that would incapacitate any other force. Practical and methodical, Manticor Borz may not be flashy, but they'll put you in the ground nonetheless."

You can see why I chose to paint these lads, they are my kind of boyz!!!

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT: Harlow 1st Reaction Force

The strong right arm of "The Authority", the Harlow 1st Reaction Force are the elite mercenaries of Harlow Kinetic Solutions. Equipped with jump jets, smart weapons, and combat inorganics (AI robots), the 1st Reaction Force hits hard, and they hit fast.

The above is the quick snippet for this formation for the Science Fiction game called BLKOUT. Skirmish level, which hits my sweet spot for sci-fi action game played on a 2 X 2 with lots of terrain and a couple teams on each side.

The following I have painted up for a friend who lacks the skill or interest in painting. So now I have an opponent vested at least into the figures to game with. 

As always thanks for looking.

BLKOUT UN Raid Force Alpha

 A quote from the write up....

RFA-4390

The pinnacle of UN forces on Abol, UN Raid Force Alpha are genetically augmented to be at apex warriors. These two women fireteams reap a heavy toll on the battlefield, supported by the cold logic of their 'Golem' inorganics. If you see them on the battlefield, it's already too late.

BLKOUT is a new-ish Ultra Modern Skirmish combat game. It is played on a 2 X 2 but can be larger, and reminds me a little of Infinity, but way simpler. I was really excited about this concept, different planet, earth forces colonizing another planet only for it to end up not much different conflict wise. There are three fireteams available, with a new one just released, and they all have their own little story. I picked the UN as I was fascinated with the idea of an all female force as well as AI robots stomping any opponent coming up against them. Really got the juices flowing for my imagination. I've already have terrain available for this period from several different periods that will work, but my go to has to be what Anton hand crafted for me a while back for Afghanistan. 

My buddy Al (who is a non painter) is going to go in on this with me, which means I will be painting duplicates of the fireteams, but I'll paint them up to look different and it should be a gas. The game is supposed to only last an hour or less, so I am looking forward to setting something up soon. That is as soon as I finish his fireteam so I have an opponent.

Here are a few shots of my girls for now.

As always thanks for looking.
