Shadow Starter Box from Freebooter Miniatures

Freebooters Fate: Shadow Starter Box

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

Imagine a swirling mass of darkness. Seemingly unstoppable, it surges toward you, threatening to engulf everything! The streets of Longfall are shrouded in dark, impenetrable fog, and the entire city teeters on the brink of chaos. All because power-hungry Brotherhood members and inquisitive Amazons have opened two ancient doors a little wider than necessary. Doors to another world. A dark, formless, and utterly evil world. Through this rift they emerge once more, and the heroic efforts of a centuries-old secret society have been thwarted, for the shadows have returned! And they are not kind. Suddenly, the darkness on Leonera has become even more dangerous...
The shadows are very weak and can't withstand much damage. However, most of them possess two new properties that allow them to harass the opponent for a very, very long time:

Shadow characters dissolve into smoke!
The shadow characters are not initially eliminated, but instead transform into phantoms. These are weak and cannot attack themselves – but they can provide support! Later in the game, for example, two phantoms can merge together and thus transform back into a complete shadow character from the entourage.

The shadow power
This is a pool of Shadow Points that is present at the beginning and replenishes through certain events, such as defeating an opponent. Shadow Power can be used to enhance or even create actions and attributes of a Shadow character. To do this, a Shadow Power boost—similar to an event card—is paid directly before the action. An example would be a pistol that, with Shadow Power, is immediately loaded, fires, and increases its range, and could then, after hitting a target, further increase its range.

The set contains 4 miniatures:
- Whisperer (Leader)
- Banshee (Specialist)
- Dark Pirate (entourage)
- Sneakers (entourage)

Additionally, three double-sided printed sheets are included: First, there are the rules for this new faction. Then there are two identical sheets printed on slightly thicker paper containing the cards needed to play.
