Prop Dusting - Icons of the Realms The Tower

Another big purchase recently is the Wizkids Icons of the Realms The Tower. It's one of those colossal terrain sets that look impressive as a play space on your gaming table. At a size of 30 x 5.3 x 24 inches, it will take center stage.

The Tower has three levels, each 100mm tall leaving height for your miniatures to stand up and not look larger than the room. The levels are separate pieces needing assembly, and once together can be stacked up to construct the full tower. Floors are heavy cardstock and are removable. 

If you don't care for the fitted plastic trays the pieces are in when it arrives you can always ditch those trays and have a ton of area within the box for the tower (with levels assembled, but not stacked) and gobs of other things.

There is more interior floor space in this tower than in the larger of the Dwarven Forge Castle towers. While Dwarven Forge pieces to expand the tower can be purchased as separate levels, to make this one taller than three levels, you need to buy more complete sets since only the middle floor can be used to stack a higher tower.

This one also has the drawback of cost. It comes in at about $250 suggested retail unless you happen to catch it on sale in which case you can sometimes find it at just a buck or two below $200. 


Have fun storming the castle!
