D&D General Tower of the Realms Mini Scenery Piece

ICv2 is reporting on a new tower scenery piece coming from WizKids, revealed at New York Toy Fair. It's three (mini!) stories in height. No release date or price yet.

Well, as a Forgotten Realms fan, this got me all revved up, since the last big "miniature" WizKids announced, the Falling Star ship, turned out to be an early hint for Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and the name "Tower of the Realms" (however dopey) seemed to promise an upcoming FR-themed book after three consecutive non-FR setting books. But unfortunately it's not called "Tower of the Realms"; if you follow the link you see it's just "Icons of the Realms: The Tower" ("Icons of the Realms" being a generic name for their whole miniatures line including Ravnica etc.). So, still a cool-looking bit of scenery, but doesn't imply what I had hoped.

that thing is awesome

Maybe it's a set-piece for what must surely be the upcoming World of Greyhawk setting book/boxed set?

About time I got over my fear of painting large terrain. Right?

Useful piece to put some pop on a printed map or a capstone encounter.

Looks fun, but I generally won't buy an expensive set piece that will get rare use. The ship made a lot more sense as you can base an entire campaign around it.

Maybe a more generic tower would be better than one with strange statues at the top?

 

[EthanSental]

The wizards at the top appear to just be separate pieces to put there.

hope they offer a painted one, unless I just want to gray primer it and do various black washes into the crevasses. Probably a instant purchase as I enjoy large set pieces even if my closet is full of them now!

Add some brown in the wash, it’ll look great!

Thanks, will do! I’m also looking forward to wizkids warlock tiles in May or so as well...amazing gaming stuff for us to use.
