WizKids Craft Massive Tower For Dungeons & Dragons Players
November 23, 2020 by brennon
WizKids has been producing a lot of both unpainted and painted options for Dungeons & Dragons players over the last year. A lot of their collection has focused on options for players and their characters with Dungeon Masters getting access to a suite of monsters. They have also been producing terrain too and one of the latest pieces is The Tower.
The Tower // WizKids
The tower is a massive painted kit which comes in three different sections for ease of play on the tabletop. It has an eight-inch diametre which should hold all of your heroes plus the monsters they're facing and reaches up to an impressive 100mm in height.

As well as the different floors of the tower you also get stairs which wind their way up from level to level, walkways to perch precariously on and a removable skylight so you can see down into the middle of the tower. So, if you're looking to battle your way up this tower to stop a powerful cultist or mage you've got quite a dramatic option!
The floor tiles are double-sided as well, meaning that you can present your party with a grid or no grid if you prefer and the doors and buttress sections of the tower can also be changed out to suit future expansions which are on the way.
There is no doubt that this is an impressive piece but it comes at a price. $250 is the asking price for The Tower and that could well be pretty steep for some people. However, with folks spending hundreds on Dwarven Forge, miniatures and more, maybe this could be the prime piece of terrain that your Dungeon Master collection has been missing.

Those are some impressive terrain pieces.
Cool, is huge… great idea the cristal domme
$250
It’s not cheap then would be a fantastic centre piece on the table but!?!?
At that price i’m thinking it would be better to spend the money on buying a 3D printer.
? It’s well worth considering the number of programs out nowadays.
Cool looking piece but, at that price, they can “keep” it!
Wow the tower is stunning looking an the detailing fabulous.
I’m just seeing a wash here. Towers are impressive and find as outdoor terrain for battlefields. But, for rpgs, they can be a miss if they don’t have enough room inside for mini’s and furniture. At $250, you’re on your way towards a 3D printer, where you can find the right terrain model, not to mention the additional terrain you can make.
They have announced the tavern model for $350 https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/47023/wizkids-reveals-massive-349-99-inn-miniatures-set-d-d-icons-realms
Nice — I guess let the Dwarven Forgers know! They like prepainted stuff and have the money. Archon announced Dungeons and Lasers 3 will have villager game tiles, so I’m going to go that route. AT $350, a 3d printer might still be a better choice, though!
At that price it is going to have to be use in every session. How long before the players get fed up of yet another fight in a tower 🙂
