WizKids Warlock Tiles: Dungeon Tiles I

What you see in the photos is three sets of tiles, plus various bits and bobs (Icons of the Realms Wall of Fire, Yawning Portal Beds & Bottles; Bars & Tables, a cusom sculpted gingerbread golem)Once you graduate from mats and paper maps to the realm of 3D tiles, there are three big contenders: 3D Printing/crafting, Dwarven Forge, and Warlock.- 3D printing has the greatest potential, but will also take you the most time. Depending on how you value your dollar, crafting your own tiles can be the most expensive of the three.- Dwarven Forge is amazing. It's also amazingly expensive, and rarely in stock. It is a luxury item for people with an unlimited wallet.- Warlock comes in at the perfect price point and level of ease. It is an attractive, durable, (semi-)affordable product that allows you to build dungeons in almost any shape you want. I say almost because some tight turns don't quite fit the way you want, and sometimes a slight edit is needed to tweak a published setting for the sake of ease of use. This is rare, however, and you can almost always find a workaround that still looks polished and attractive. The redesigned clips are a breeze to use, and the terrain holds together for any number of uses.There is a bit of "grey box syndrome" until you start adding furnishings - every dungeon will look the same: a series of grey rectangles. I highly reccomend that you rely on scatter terrain, either crafted or purchased, to liven up the rooms. My next purchase will likely be either the curves or the angles expansion to add a littl more variation to my grey rectangles.Overall, I cannot recommend these, and other wizkids dungeon products, highly enough. These are a homerun, and I encourage everyone to stock up, in case these ever leave the market like so many mini products of the past.

I love miniature painting, but with a full time job, home remodeling and a 7 mo old there's no time to paint. Enter Warlock tiles! They're beautiful, sturdy (I was surprised at the weight), and they lock together nice and snug. This box definitely provides enough on its own for a couple of good sized rooms. I do think that practically speaking you will want two or three of these if you have an efficient group in a dungeon crawl. Still, $240 (at the time of review) for an entire decent sized dungeon that's pre-painted with working doors is a steal in my book.I would say these are 4.5 stars. However I'm rounding up to help offset the already very negative reviews for something I believe to not be deserving.Pros: - Beautiful. Obviously a professional painter could do it better, but set it on the table and sit normal and there's no difference. Color is great, detail is great, and the tiles aren't all the same. The box comes with two 4x4 tiles and surprisingly I found they were not the same mold! - Efficient. No space is wasted. All walls are on the exterior or slotted between two interior tiles. You get 100% of the floor space here. - Sturdy. Build your rooms ahead of time and drop them in place as your players discover them. I connected about 10 tiles in a strip and picked them up by 1 on the end. It of course bent A LOT and I was scared, but nothing was damaged. And there's more than 1 place to put clips, so if you're very concerned you can use 2 clips per side (8 clips on a tile, excessive, but solid)Cons - My fingers were a little sore after pulling out all the clips. I may looks for a storage alternative where I can leave the clips in, or just keep pliers handy while building (per the manufacturer's recommendation anyway). -- I do want to address the negativity around these clips. 1) they're optional. Just like dwarven forge you can just set these on the table next to each other and it will work fine. You might want to toss a clip between tiles that have interior walls, but otherwise no issue. Also if you rock the tiles back and forth while manipulating them they pop in and out very easily. Also keep in mind they WILL wear down. They're plastic. Straight out of the box they're stiff but they'll wear down with time. - The wall length is a hair longer than the floor length. This can be remedied with clips and everything stretches and fits nicely in place. But while doing a dry fit you'll notice things don't line up exactly, which was odd at first. Ended up not being an issue in the end, but still worth mentioning. - Some of the pieces are not aligned well with each other. Something was off in the gluing process. However these still end up working fine as the plastic is malleable.So all of these cons are more quality concerns than practical ones. At the end of the day they work exactly like I want them too and I'm very happy with the product. I'm sure future iterations will be even better. I can't wait for angled and curved walls, and CAVES!

I love these. As a DM who preps possible encounters, they work fine. Yes the clips are tough to use, but snap them in one side at a time, using a pliers or the flat edge of a screwdriver, and you're good to go. The trade off for tougher assembly is a very sturdy build. They look great on the table and enhance our game. Looking forward to more.

1 - Since everyone's talking about the clips, I'll go over those first - yes, they're a little on the stiff side, but they work okay. If I keep the set I'll get the softer clips when they come out, but the current clips are fine.2 - Quality. Very good, the pieces all feel solid and they look nice.3 - Variety. This is decent, but there are only two "interior" doors, all the rest of the doors only work on the outside edges. If you're doing an extensive build you probably need interior doors more than the others. Also, if you're building out a dungeon with these you probably don't really care about outer walls, it's just a waste of time to add them. I do think outer walls are good if you want to make any structures you'll reuse, such as an important house or tavern, but using them isn't practical for "on-the-fly" builds.4 - Playability. This is more a critique of using 1" squares - for ease of moving minis, interior walls and doors taking up space, etc, I find it much better to use 1.25" squares. Unfortunately this is not yet a wide standard, so this is not a problem created by this set.5 - Expansion. This is where WizKids can help themselves and the consumers. I don't think most users will need that many exterior walls and doors, but what you will most certainly want (if you like the product) are more floor and interior wall/door tiles. It would be incredibly easy for WizKids to make small expansion sets that are just specific types of pieces, so you can get what you need - floors, interior walls, interior doors, exterior doors, outer walls, etc. It's not worth it to me to buy a second set like this, way too many pieces in the second set would go unused. However, I would grab up floors and interior pieces instantly.

Perfect product and great seller. Definitely recommend

Realmente es una marca muy buena, sellan los suelos y los muros perfectamente y son de un realismo increíble.Encuentro que es un poco caro por la cantidad que trae, es necesario tener varios packs de cada para tener libertad de creación, pero la calidad es muy buena.

Incredible quality! I always wanted to invest in one of these tiles systems and there're so many out there, but this one seems to hit the mark, the price per tile is decent, the quality and sturdiness are great, and the clipping system was improved(current sets already come with the new clips).You might end up buying more xD be careful

The box arrived broken and soaked but the Amazon box was dry and undamaged so it was damaged before shipping... Very disappointed.Got a new one the next day, will be sending this one back great kit and great service. Great for fans of D&D.

Los warlock tiles son un 10/10 no se puede equivocar uno con esta compra. Se optímeme bastante por el precio haciendo escenarios que solo veía en videos o gente que se dedica a pintar y diseñar piezas de escenario. Estupendo para alguien con poco tiempo que quiere una partida en otro nivel.
