PUBLISHER: WIZKID GAMES | RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW
Wizkid’s Warlock Tiles series are pre-painted scenery pieces specifically designed to let you build your own fantasy. The core sets so far are Dungeon and Town themed, starting with a base set that provides walls and flooring, with other expansions letting you build on that.
Warlock Tiles – Town Square is a new core set and as the name suggests, introduces enough pieces to create a cobbled Town Square. Not only does this let you stick your Merchants and Town Watch it also lets you connect various buildings together, so if you’ve been happily using the Town sets to make Restaurants and Taverns, you can now have your characters roll out of one and into another, if for example, your adventure involved a Stag-Do in Baldur’s Gate.
We get single sided flagstone pieces here, the underside is smooth rather than the double-sided pieces we’ve seen in other sets. They’re pre-painted and well detailed, but they’re mostly things like flagstones, cobblestone paving, and various patterned bits of road . The example given on the box is a sort of cross roads with different coloured paving creating a please town square effect, but creative types can happily slot it all together differently.
The pieces slot together easily thanks to the specially provided clips, which are compatible with similar systems such as OpenLock and DragonLock. We also get actual little lamp posts, as in posts that you hang a tiny lamp on. The different types of sewer grates and some of these are hinged so you can indicate exactly where that horde of goblins came from when the time comes.
Overall, this is a great set, either for creating set displays for your models or as a portable way of setting up encounters. It is quite time consuming to set up, but that’s part of the fun and it’s very pretty. A good addition to a gamers cache.
