_Echelon introduces Black Powder Red Earth 28mm — a brand-new close combat skirmish wargame built on a fast and fluid ruleset pitting player vs player in tabletop miniatures battles. Built around a responsive combat system players direct their customized small unit kill teams in pitched battles through war-torn sprawls on the border between two failing states.
Drawn from the best selling graphic novel series, Black Powder Red Earth 28mm is set in a near-future, detailed with both a conflict bible in the core rules and in the pages of the ongoing graphic novel — Black Powder Red Earth Awbari.
To ensure the highest quality every game component, playing card, miniature, and the core rules book are all made in the USA — with materials sourced in the US or other western nations.

Love it, now let’s see how that SOF fire team does against a 3,000 point army of WH40K Imperial Guards #unleashyourinnernerd
This post made my month. I knew you were a 40K nerd.
Cadian or Catachan?
My analog gaming nerd side dates back to the 80s.
My collection is a mix, I created a hybrid Army: Cadian, Catachan, with figurines from Battleground WW2 (Easy Eight Enterprises, now defunct), RLI, Portuguese Angola (Eureka Miniatures UK). I don’t have time to play, I used to play WH fantasy decades ago. Right now I collect for that rainy day I can start painting. I might play again, just gotta figure out rules for a Rhodie K-Car helo, haha! The rest will just be catachan irregulars.
I grew up painting models, and I love the caricature type form of the 28mm figurines, it takes away the implied necessity for actual realism of historic uniforms. I also do 1/35 scale, and larger single figures. Anything from WW2 to 1999.
Dumb question, are the figurines already painted?
They do not. These are model kits 🙂
Not likely.
Putting this on my xmas list. Cool as shit.
That’s awesome. Definitely going to pick this up and do some kitbashing.
I received the game a couple days ago. The minis are exquisite. I love the simplicity of the rules. They make you focus on tactics rather than army lists. Fire and movement. All components are quality. Just waiting for OpFor models. Using generic models in the meantime.
