About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever wanted to play the quintessential hero of the Old West? The Cowboy Hero Pack brings that rugged spirit into the dark and twisted world of Shadows of Brimstone. You'll step into the boots of a frontier legend—tough, hearty folk who can shrug off most physical and mental damage that would break a normal person. Whether you're herding cattle, fighting off outlaws, or battling nightmarish demons on the trail, the Cowboy is the ultimate watchman of the frontier.
The Cowboy's biggest asset is their potentially endless supply of 'Grit,' a resource that represents their sheer determination and toughness. But they aren't just tanks; they bring utility to the team with their Lasso, allowing them to rope opponents and keep them tied up and under control. This combination of durability and crowd control makes them a powerhouse in any cooperative party.
Inside the box, you'll find high-detail resin miniatures (both male and female versions), two 30mm plastic bases, and a double-sided Hero Character Sheet. To get you started on your journey, the pack also includes a rulesheet, a Cowboy Upgrade Chart, starting upgrade cards, and essential starting gear. It's a complete kit to add a legendary frontier fighter to your campaign. If you love the thrill of living on the edge and fighting the supernatural with a six-shooter and a rope, this is the expansion you need. Yeehaaawwww!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this pack?
Yes! This is a hero pack, so you need the Shadows of Brimstone base game for the board, core rules, and monsters.
Are the miniatures made of standard plastic?
No, they are crafted from high-detail resin, providing much more precision and detail than standard plastic.
Is the Cowboy a good choice for solo play?
Absolutely. Being a robust and resilient character, they are a great pick to soak up damage during solo sessions.
Is there a localized version of the content?
The content is in English. Since there is a fair amount of text on cards and sheets, you'll need a translation if you aren't fluent.
What exactly is included in the box?
It includes miniatures (male and female), bases, a character sheet, rules, an upgrade chart, and starting gear.
What is the Cowboy's main advantage in combat?
The ability to immobilize enemies with the lasso and their high durability through the Grit resource.
