The frozen over alien city of the Targa Plateau is home to many ancient terrors that have laid dormant for eons. Massive robotic Guardians are awakened when the city is in danger. These mechanical monstrosities pull free from their alcoves to hunt down and eliminate whatever threats are detected. Easily standing three or four times the height of a man, these Guardians are cold and calculating in the execution of their duties to defend the city against all intruders. Many explorers have found their way to the Targa Plateau... far fewer have ever returned!

This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add the ancient and massive robotic Guardian of Targa to your games of Shadows of Brimstone, including the cards, Enemy Record Sheet, and Extra Large, multi-part model for the Guardian of Targa!

Using tears in the fabric of space to pass between worlds, these interdimensional travelers cross over in search of raw materials and artifacts to collect. Wearing heavy environment suits to protect them from the hazards of our reality, the Harvesters are nearly indestructible. Often times they are connected to their own world through long hoses that stretch out behind them and extend back through a shimmering gateway, bringing whatever substances they require to sustain them in our world. Lumbering but ruthless, the Harvesters are relentless in their search for anything of interest or value to bring back to their own dimension.

This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add these terrifying, alien Harvesters to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! There are 3 large Harvester models included, as well as the large Enemy Record Sheet and all of the Threat Cards needed to add them to your games.

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.

Once simple rats, the Hell Vermin have become deformed and twisted by the raw evil of the Darkness. These beasts have grown giant, sprouting multiple heads, a ridge of nasty spikes along their back, and a massive barbed tail to lash at their enemies! Their fangs drip with shadow and hate, corrupting those that are bitten, while their bodies mend even the most grievous of wounds. Only from the pits of Hell could such fiends be spawned!

This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add the snarling mutant Hell Vermin to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! There are 3 large Hell Vermin models included, as well as the large Enemy Record Sheet and all of the Threat Cards needed to add them to your games.

Before the cataclysm that devoured Brimstone, Cowboys rode the dusty trails and canyon valleys. Once the town exploded and creatures started pouring out of the mines, many of these rough-riding, frontier Heroes rode into the fray, with their fancy trick shooting and daredevil attitude! The Cowboy is a new Hero Class that can be added to your games of Shadows of Brimstone. A well-rounded fighter that can absorb a lot of damage and dodge between foes, shooting up the place and roping Enemies with their trusty Lasso!

Far from home, this lone warrior wanders the high planes of the American frontier. Perhaps on a final mission for a dying master, a quest to reclaim fallen glory, or as the last warrior of a lost clan, the Wandering Samurai upholds their code of honor, fighting with unmatched skill and determination to their last breath. The Wandering Samurai is a new Hero Class that can be added to your games of Shadows of Brimstone. An expert swordsman nearly unmatched in both attack and Defense, building Fury as they strike down Enemies, the Wandering Samurai then unleashes that Fury in the form of powerful Battle Tactics!

The New Californian Republic rose from the ashes of the great war to rebuild and rejuvenate swathes of what as the western united states. Starting from a small trading town, it expanded and grew, and now covers tracts of land all the way up to New Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Their aims are to build and protect, but not all believe in this new system or it’s protectors.

King Pandinus only awakens once every 5000 years. He stays awake at all times until someone defeats him in a RUMBLESLAM match. So far he's been awake for... oh, he's undefeated? I bet he's really hoping for a nap!

King Pandinus is big and part scorpion. Do you really need to know more? Well he's the king of the underworld, and so held in pretty high esteem in Diamond Oasis casino, where he gets pretty much free reign. Including free drinks - nice!

If you're after a Superstar with massive damage potential and great crowd control (I mean, lots of enemy wrestlers rather than the actual crowd), then King Pandinus is your scorpion! His Giant Stinger attack causes Dazed, and if you get a Crowd Pleaser your opponent has to roll 2 dice and suffers -2AP and -2MP if they fail their roll! Add to that Bleeding on all Brawl attacks, and a Turnbuckle Ability that hits everyone in base contact and also Shoves them away and you have a recipe for a killer Superstar. Seriously, he's one of the best in the game.

Contains 1 resin miniature, 1 character card, and 1 clear acrylic base. Acrylic bases will have coloured film on that needs removing before assembly.

Resin miniature supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

In Diamond Oasis, there is no end to the fight - even in death these corpses still wrestle! Whether it’s the shambling Shabti or their Withered Master, they are always up for a scrap. Anubti Doorkeepers are powerhouses of undead energy, while the Yeetle calls up the sun itself to hurl at the other team!

The Pyramid Piledrivers are slowly entering the ring! Unless the Withered Master instructs them to get a move on that is. What looks like a perfectly normal team actually plays a little weirdly. They take a fine tuned approach and heavily reward carefully thought out plays.

The WEIGHT 1 category is taken up by two Shabti. Entirely identical in stats since they're reanimated corpses who can't really do anything on their own. The good news is that Shabti are the cheapest wrestlers in the game at 100K each. The bad news is that other than a move that does -1MP, they're slow and basically useless.

That's where the Withered Master comes in. A solid performer in her own right, she works best when commanding others. Able to move the Shabti on her own, and perform her Grapple and Rope abilities through every other wrestler in the team, she can do some serious damage while staying in the comfort of her own corner. Master the Master and you'll be well on your way to victory.

The heavy hitters in the team come in the form of the Anubti Doorkeeper and the massive Yeetle. While the Shabti are some of the worst rookies in the game, the Anubti Doorkeeper is arguably the best. With stats that rival a Superstar, she is going to be feared by your opponents as much as she's loved by you! Meanwhile the Yeetle has an extremely tough outer shell and can literally throw the sun at your enemies!

Contains 5 resin miniatures with 5 clear acrylic bases, and 5 character cards. Acrylic bases will have coloured film on that needs removing before assembly.

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Queen of the underworld, Cleo is royalty like no other! She's here to wrestle, and she's brought an entire army with her! Do you dare to tustle with the trouble from under the world?

Queen Cleo is indeed a real queen. Her husband is King Pandinus. Yes, the giant scorpion guy. No, don't ask us how that works. Although Cleo is the one with all the control. Control over an army of undead souls that mindlessly follow her around, worshipping the ground she walks on - literally!

In the ring Cleo is a well balanced wrestler. Her damage output can be colossal - check out that ATTACK stat. Do a Rope Attack and she's rolling 2S 2C+1! However, that would be ignoring one of her signature moves, which is the use of Underworld Counters. These handy little tokens are included in this set, and stop anyone moving through the square they're placed in as hands claw up from the underworld. If your opponents get too close to them, you can use A Billion Souls to drag them down with Knockdown counters. Cleo really does have an answer for everything, the only tricky thing will be deciding which moves to use each round!

Contains 1 resin miniature, 1 character card, 1 clear acrylic base, and a sheet of 8 skull-shaped Underworld Counters. Acrylic bases will have coloured film on that needs removing before assembly.

Resin miniature supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Craggy Bottom and Little Skjarr have a colourful relationship, but it's more one of friendly rivalry. Indeed, in a show of good faith, Little Skjarr accepts any and all foster children from Craggy Bottom (usually when the parents can't feed them the state-required 15 meals per day). These adopted Skjarrians learn the ways of the highland forest, and are taught the customs of Little Skjarr before returning to their birthplace, vicious fighters with a taste for the wild side.

This set contains 10 Halfling Braves. There are 5 different sculpts, with a mixture in each set to provide plenty of variety. The miniatures are full of character, perfect for your fantasy armies or RPG campaigns.

Fancy a pint? There's nowhere better in all of Craggy Bottom than The Fighting Cock. Oh and the Tiny Dancer. Actually, 8 Miles From the Kitchen does a nice drink too. And The Manticore's Sting. You can't do better for cider than Big Jack's Tiny Scrumpy Medium Farm Shop. Bitters are best at Bitter Best. Oh and pub food? There's so many! Corn Croppers, The Working Man's Pie Club, The White Goat, Queen's Shilling... the list just goes on!

The wisest and smartest halflings in all the land join the Engineers Club For Big Brains. They'll make anything they're asked to... with a varying degree of success. Whether it's potions or rockets or crazy weapons, you can count on the Engineers to over-charge and under-deliver on their promises. It's always funny to watch the results though.

This set contains 3 Halfling Engineers. Whether as heroes for your army or as characters for your latest RPG campaign (bonus points if you set the campaign in the Engineers Club For Big Brains), they make great, characterful additions to your collection.

Contains 3 resin miniatures with bases. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Craggy Bottom's annual Hunt For The Sausage is the talk of the town. Riders will ride the beast of their choice (mostly goats, but sometimes pigs or giant spiders) and try to skewer as many sausages with their spears as possible. The prize? You get to eat all the sausages. It's a fierce competition that makes for fierce cavalry!

This set contains a regiment of 10 Goat Riders armed with spears, including a full command of Champion, Musician, and Standard Bearer. There are several different designs of Goat and Rider, and you'll get a random selection to give plenty of variation to your regiments.

Contains 10 resin miniatures with bases. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

The very best Halfling fighters in Craggy Bottom are recruited to the Goat Riders. Not only are they fantastic in combat, but they can also drink more ale than any other Halflings. It's a requirement of recruitment: the goat and the rider must outdrink everyone else in the pub. Otherwise they aren't recruited and also have to pick up the tab for everyone.

This set contains a regiment of 10 Goat Riders armed with swords, including a full command of Champion, Musician, and Standard Bearer. There are several different designs of Goat and Rider, and you'll get a random selection to give plenty of variation to your regiments.

It's not just the men who take up arms in Craggy Bottom, no sir! When their backs are up to the wall and their pies are in jeopardy, the Ladyfolk will take up arms (and forks and pans) to fight off their attackers.

This set contains 20 Halfling Ladyfolk. There are 10 different sculpts, with a mixture in each set to provide plenty of variety.

Contains 20 resin miniatures with bases. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

The law enforcement in Craggy Bottom is a little different to law enforcement elsewhere. For a start, 90% of the crimes reported to the Craggy Bottom Sheriffs Department (CBSD) are food related. One of the most infamous cases was the Pie Murderer. Not a murderer who leaves pies at the scene, no. This case involved a string of pies being gouged, huge bites taken of innocent pies left helplessly on windowsills to cool. The culprit was never found. But the CBSD made sure to sample a lot of pies - strangely that's actually their main investigative tactic in most incidents.

This set contains 10 Halfling Sheriffs. There are 5 different sculpts, with a mixture in each set to provide plenty of variety.

Contains 10 resin miniatures with bases. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

The secret cabal of the 2.3km of Shadows is whispered about all through Craggy Bottom. Few know whether it actually exists, or whether it's simply a legend. The truth is that what started off as a group of friends sneaking out at night to have a midnight snack quickly blew out of control and became the premiere guild for thievery in the hamlet. The headquarters of the 2.3km of Shadows is in Creaky Frames, one of the oldest parts of Craggy Bottom. There the group meetup in secret to plan elaborate heists and even on rare occasions plan the most dastardly of assassinations.

This set contains 10 Halfling Thieves. There are 5 different sculpts, with a mixture in each set to provide plenty of variety. The miniatures are full of character, perfect for your fantasy armies or RPG campaigns.

It's certainly a hard knock life for the kids of Craggy Bottom. These junior Halflings struggle everyday to be fed. All they get is first breakfast, second breakfast, brunch, elevensies, pre-lunch, lunch, lunch 2.0, afternoon snacks, afternoon tea, cake, early evening pick-me-up, tea, dinner, supper, pudding, dessert, after-dinner snack, nightcap, and midnight snack. No wonder they're always out on the streets causing mischief!

This set contains 4 bases of Halfling Urchins, with 3 different kids on each base.

Contains 12 resin miniatures with bases. Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled.

Corner ruins are a quintessential sight on the battlefields of the far future and the Hallowed Ruins set contains the finest hand picked corner ruins. With 7 of them, you can use a single set of Hallowed Ruins to fill up a board for one of those smaller team based killy games, or combine multiple for a whole board full of ruins!

The 3 different sizes of ruins provide great variety in terrain. With plenty of windows to shoot out of (or into) as well as multiple storeys there's no shortage of tactical options available with this kit.

This set contains a whole battlefield in one package:

• 1 large cathedral ruin
• 2 large office ruins
• 4 small ruins

This kit is made from 3mm MDF and has been designed for 28-32mm gothic sci-fi games, though would work well in any gothic fantasy setting as well.

Model supplied unpainted and requires assembly. We advise using PVA glue for the best results. Any miniatures are for scale only and not included.
