Loading... Please wait...Shadows of Brimstone: CHALLENGE PACK #2 Beast Unleashed
A Challenge Pack is a new themed set of cards with a terrifying new Enemy and a nightmarish new Mission designed to give the Heroes an extra challenge. These cards are all used together for the included Mission; but can also be added to your card decks to increase the challenge across your normal games of Shadows of Brimstone as well. Many of these new cards are marked with a Challenge Icon, to be easily identified as extra dangerous
Challenge Pack #2 – Beast Unleashed Contents List:
Challenge Packs reward players for having a robust collection of Enemies and Expansions; and contain several Threat cards that include a mix of various Enemies from across the game. Some of these Threat cards even add new bonus ability to the Enemies on the card for thematic ways that they can work together to crush the Heroes
The following Expansions are highly recommended to get the most out of this Challenge Pack (though these sets are not required to use this Supplement, most of the Threat cards included in this Challenge Pack do use various Enemies from these other Expansions):

The extra challenge offered by this pack can come up surprisingly more often than you'd think and it's been awesome. Easily one of my favorite purchases and I hope more challenge packs are to come.

Can't say enough great things about this expansion. A great value for the money for everything you get. Resin mini has the usual assembly extra steps needed, but nothing too crazy to deal with if you've assembled resin minis before. This is just as awesome as the heretic preacher challenge pack. Hope the Frogs continue doing challenge packs as they are amazing!!!!

Well as the 1st challenge pack it includes a resin figure - much bigger and with great details, so the 10 $ on top are absolutely ok.
You get a lot more Threat cards and so you have a lot of more diversity to your games
Absolutely recommendable - even more if you own the advised expansions

I was very impressive with the first challenge pack, but this one is even better. Not only one of the most interesting monster sculpts they've made so far, but a new and unique ability we haven't seen before.
As with all the FFP resin figures, there's extra work needed to build them. They need additional work on cleanup to remove release residue,and are more difficult to build requiring sprue and flash removal. I recommend pinning the portal base as a lot of the model hangs from it supported by a small base. Also some primers don't like to stick to this resin so I use Rustoleum or Tamiya primers.
The card deck adds a ton of nice options not only for this monster but for themed encounters. And you get more options to combine various enemy groups together.
The monster's portal ability adds a whole new wrinkle to combat. As he can activate multiple times in a turn and bounces around the board, no character is safe.
All together this is a solid web exclusive expansion. I hope FFP focuses more on these challenge packs as the terrain expansions just don't have the versatility and have grown a bit stale. I'm sure these are far more involved to design but certainly more useful outside of a single mission.
