About the game
Tearing their way through the Void, these nightmare creatures are masses of writhing tentacles and ancient hate! Burrowing through realities, once manifested into a physical form, they lay dormant beneath the earth, sometimes for millennia; waiting with vile intent as they writhe in their hibernation. Most often, these Ancient Horrors are awakened from their dread repose by the smell of Dark Stone, or the call of some malign and eldritch being of great power, summoning evil to do its bidding. This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add these ancient and terrifying, creatures to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! There are 2 Extra large Ancient Horror models included, as well as the large Enemy Record Sheet and all of the Threat Cards needed to add them to your games. —description from the publisher
