Can Chimera join Manticore forces?

To my understanding, in the lore, Chimera is part of Manticore. But when I looked into listbuilding, it seemed like they were treated like a separate faction.

Can you use Chimera units in a Manticore force?

Terrain useful for this game?

I posted this pic on another subreddit of a new set of printable terrain I've been working on. I got some feedback that it would be useful for BLKOUT. I've looked into the game and seems very cool and i like the reaction and the lean mechanic. Unfortunately I can't get the starter set or the printed rulebook/cards over here in Ireland so I can't test it out just yet.

I made this set primarily for my own games of Five Parsecs From Home as I'm a solo player. This pic is a few of the buildings and printable rock formations on a 2x2 layout.

Buildings are modular with OpenLock walls and corners, drop in place roofs with options for slot in windows and doors and optional internal floors. Smallest building size will be 4x4 and largest at 10x10, and all at 3" tall. Scaled for 28mm - 32mm. Second pic has some Stargrave minis for scale from my 5PFH game yesterday.

So, do you think the style will work for BLKOUT in particular or is too scifi to fit?

All robot team?

I've been looking at getting into this game from killteam and I have noticed just how cool some of the machines are. Who should I play if I wanted an all machine team?

Container city for BLKOUT

A week's worth of 3d printing and priming. Need to do weathering and oil wash etc. This is container city, bought from the recent kickstarter, on a 3'ish by 2'ish.

Any advice for better placement? There's a final print bed coming along.

How do you pick models for units?

Explain it to me like I'm 5. I just can't seem to understand how models/units go together. Do you just pick what you want? I'm lost.

Battle of Iskander City

Martian Armed forces - ODA 667, 1st Special Forces Group attached to Boone invasion Fleet, were to conduct their routine meeting with Impisi local leaders to discuss further operations and training of additional Guerrilla fighters.

Lookouts posted around the slums perimeter detected a sudden mass maneuver of UN Forces.

The ODA and Impisi leadership knew they had to exfil quickly or risk getting caught in a RAID Team slaughter.

However the UN Forces didn't realize they were stiring up a Hornets nest full of Impisi fighters. Their quick mission would then escalate to "The battle of Iskander City".

Boone Force Card and group building question

Hello all, just bought into the game and have a group building question related to the two Boone groups and the Force Cards. In the Boone Strikeforce box there was no Force Card but I did get two Markemen Team cards. Was there supposed to be a Strikeforce specific Force Card and the 2nd Marksmen Team card was a mis-pack? If not can I freely swap units between the Recon and Strikeforce groups with all units retaining the ability to benifit from the Boone Force Card I got in the Recon box?

Am I playing Boone wrong?

I was just playing a game against my friend. I was Boone he was Black Pact. And I was able to hobble him by using my force rule every round and keep one of units on the back foot.

As far as I can tell, I’m playing the rule correctly, but it seems OP, is this a balance thing? I know other teams can counter the data attack more effectively. But it seems like having no requirement on LoS and pinning a whole unit is too powerful.

am I missing something?

Lore Reasons for Harlow to fight UN units?

A friend and I are gonna pick up the game soon (him UN and myself Harlow)and we want to run narratives but I can’t find any lore on reasons why they would be in conflict. They are treated as separate factions but they seem like the their would be no real reason they be in combat with each other. Am I missing something? Or should I just make my own faction using Harlow units?

Chimera: Lance of the Embraced

[The following lore is custom and not canon in the slightest. My ‘tism just knows no bounds]

The Technocracy is one of many characters, but none are as strange as Liam Steele and her lance, The Embrace. Their motto: “Show others the pleasure of embracing technology.” Prosthetics and cybernetics often have feeling sensors installed. However they tend to be uncanny, with the sense being just off to be noticeably false. Liam Steele is not one of those people. Instead of being perturbed by the false sensation, she loved it. The euphoria it brought her made some believe she may have been experiencing psychosis, but she was lucid and skilled enough to prove them wrong. She genuinely thought it felt that amazing. Rising up through the ranks, she eventually became a Rytsari and formed her lance. She recruited as any other would, but the volume of volunteers made it difficult to parse. Apparently she wasn't the only one who loved this sensation.

They are an effective force, but most other lances stay away from them due to their perverted nature. Some Voyi of other lances have even caught their Voyi and Besrovny moaning when they get shot or stabbed, specifically through areas with cybernetics laced through. Some lances have even stated they are a disgrace to the crusade and have tried to kill them. None have succeeded. Their level of cybernetic installation is above most others all for pleasure. Extra weapons. Increased strength. Doesn't matter. They just need more.

Strong Resin Smell

Hello I just got the Starter Kit from Amazon and the sprues have a very strong smell, I assume from the resin, is this normal? Is there a process I should follow to remove the odor?
Thanks in advance for the help, I have never handled 3d printed miniatures before.
