WarLock Tiles: Accessory - Marketplace

This review is specifically for the Tiles III - Curves expansion set. I have many of the warlock tile sets, and have to say this one disappointed me the most. Several small marketing and design choices really hurt this set. From the design side of things, a high percentage of the parts in this set are extremely limited in the ways they can be connected to each other or to other pieces. For example, an exterior outside curved wall connected to a inside curved floor tile has no means of being connected to anything else.(in my picture there are 4 of these, they make the hole in the center of the castle). Another example is 4 outside curved floor tiles connected to 4 inside curved floor tiles (second picture). The other design issue I see is the direction of the wooden floor planking on the 2 types of floor tiles are facing different directions. This means if you want to be consistent with your flooring design, all of your locations with these tiles will need to be Parquet style. From a marketing/product side of things, the first (minor) issue is the picture on the front of the box. Unlike other expansions, this one does not call out that you cannot make the setup shown on the cover without additional sets. But the real issue is the piece mix inside the box. Each of the curved pieces represents 1/4 of a full circle. Since you need 4 pieces to make a circle, any curved parts should be provided in multiples of 4. In this set, every part is a curved part, of which 4 part types include quantities that are NOT multiples of 4. In my picture you will see a simple 4-tower castle/outpost. You will also notice I am 2 pieces short of completing it. That is because you would need 12 exterior outside walls, and this set includes only 10. So, to make a simple castle layout, you would need a starter set, and TWO curves expansions to do so. Some positives I want to point out are that the box is the same size/type as the other suitcase-style boxes in other sets (although this one is pretty empty inside), and these pieces in your layout really do add a wow factor. This set should have been a home run, instead I am left wanting to see if a revised expansion comes out.

The product was obviously damaged/opened as there was additional tape on the package that shouldnt have been there. Further, a piece was missing; namely one(1) 2 Stone Outside Curved Edge Cap (there should have been twelve). Instead, I had an extra 2 Stone Inside Curved Edge Cap (there should have been 6). Ive added a photo to show the amount of those pieces that were in the box. Strangely enough, there were also two additional Warlock clips in the set (52 total). Annoyed by the missing piece and the set being sold as New when it definitely wasnt.

These aren’t Dwarven Forge but in my mind these are next in quality of pre-painted dungeon terrain. A bit pricey and wish there were more pieces but these will be sufficient for most games. These are several steps above Dirt Cheap Dungeons but I don’t think there is much else out there that it’s better than.

Somehow this one never received the gallows piece, maybe the largest piece that should be included and it just didnt make it.. otherwise its amazing like all the rest of the sets just not sure how such a large piece never made it

This adds more versatility to my base set. Every room is no longer required to be the same square shape. Blends in seamlessly with the start set. Ill probably buy another set to make larger dungeons.

Excellent product. Great packaging. Good price.

Great product . A nice addition for your table top game . Who can ever have enough scatter terrain ?
