Starter Box Shadows

Freebooters Fate: Starter Box Shadows

Sculpted by Werner Klocke and Justyna Bien, painted by Castle Brush and Ilya Zimin

Imagine a swirling mass of darkness. Seemingly unstoppable, it surges towards you, threatening to swallow everything! The streets of Longfall are enveloped in dark, impenetrable fog, and the entire city threatens to descend into chaos. And all because power-hungry Brotherhood members and curious Amazons opened two ancient doors a little wider than they should have. Doors to another world. A dark, formless, thoroughly evil world. Through this rift, they emerge once more, and the heroic efforts of a centuries-old secret society have been undone, for the Shadows are back! And they are not kind. Suddenly, the darkness on Leonera has become even more dangerous...
The Shadows are very weak and can't take much punishment. Most of them, however, possess two new abilities that allow them to annoy the opponent for a very, very long time:

Shadow characters dissolve into smoke!
Shadow characters are not immediately eliminated; instead, they transform into specters. These are weak and cannot attack themselves, but they can support! Later in the game, for example, two specters can merge and transform back into a complete Shadow character from the retinue.

The Shadow Power
This is a pool of Shadow Points that is available at the start and refills through certain events, such as eliminating an opponent, etc. Shadow Power can be used to improve actions, abilities of a Shadow character, or even "create" them. For this, an upgrade with Shadow Power - similar to an event card - is paid directly before part of an action. An example would be a pistol that is immediately loaded with Shadow Power, fires, and also increases its range, and then, after a hit, could also increase its RANGE.

The set contains 4 miniatures:
- Whisperer (Leader)
- Banshee (Specialist)
- Dark Pirate (Retinue)
- Stalker (Retinue)

Additionally, 3 double-sided printed sheets are included: First, there are the rules for this new faction. Then there are two identical sheets made of slightly thicker paper with the cards needed for playing.
