As the title says, when does the condition end? The implication is that it lasts until you are next activated, but if you don't have a Ready marker you don't activate.
The way its worded a Blind model can never gain a Ready marker as they will always meet the criteria of 'if they do not have a Ready marker at the start of the following round...'.
That just cannot be intentional, and it feels like Blind should be removed as soon as it has done whatever it's going to do to your Ready marker, but it doesn't say anything of the sort. And if it was removed at that point the second sentence is meaningless because you wouldn't be Blind then so it would never apply.
Feels like there's two separate timings here: The close combat thing has a very clearly defined end point, and the Ready marker thing cannot be using the same end point.
This was also an issue in the previous edition that I never got an answer to from the FAQ team. I ended up house ruling Blind to 'A Blind model cannot perform any actions. If the model makes Reaction Attacks they only hit on rolls of a Natural 6. The Blind condition is removed at the end of the model's next activation', which helped get around some bizarre edge cases like Blind models being activated with Overseer or not taking damage from Blaze that round.
