WarLock Tiles: Expansion Pack I Review - WizKids Prepainted Miniature Terrain.

This video is brought to you by the Deck of Many and their Big Bad Booklet series Hello and welcome back to the Gallant Goblin. Today we have WarLock Tiles: Expansion Pack I! This set doesn’t include anything that wasn’t in the two base sets: Dungeon Tiles I and Town & Village I, but it does give you more of everything except floors to help give you more options when you build.

There's more doors, windows, corners, walls, pillars, and more. It has an MSRP of $49.99 and should be releasing in July 2020. Thank you to WizKids for sending us this preview set, but let's go ahead and open it up and see how it expands our building options! This set contains some pieces from both WarLock Tiles base sets: Dungeon Tiles I and Town & Village I.

From Dungeon Tiles, we get four more exterior stone walls, one outside corner, one inside corner, four stone corner pillars, four interior stone walls, two interior stone doors, one exterior double door, and one exterior single door. From the Town & Village set, you get two exterior plaster walls, one exterior plaster wall with a window, one outside corner, one inside corner, four wooden corner pillars, six interior plaster walls , two interior wooden doors, one exterior double wooden door, and one exterior single wooden door.

You also get 50 more WarLock Clips. There aren’t any pieces in this set that are unique to the set. So since you’re getting more walls, corners, and doors mostly, you aren’t really going to be able to build bigger rooms per se, but it will open up your options for building rooms that are different shapes and for making more standalone rooms and buildings.

So let’s take a look at the dungeon side first. Here we have a build I put together from the Dungeon Tiles I base set. On the left, I have my leftover pieces from the base set that I didn’t include in the build, and on the right are the extra dungeon pieces included in the Expansion Pack I.

Let’s see what I can put together when I include the new expansion pack pieces. Here’s our dungeon using almost all the dungeon pieces. As you can see, I was able to create a lot more individual rooms that are further divided with the interior walls.

I was also able to make certain sections of it jut out from the rest using the extra corner pieces. While the floor space is ultimately the same, it feels like a much larger, more intricate dungeon, and I still have a few more pieces left over. Let’s take a look at the Town and Village side.

Again, my left-over core pieces are on the left, and my new expansion pack pieces are on the right. From the base set, I was able to make two fairly interesting small buildings. Now, let’s put it all together. Again the square footage, so to speak, stays the same, but the rooms get much more interesting and functional.

I’m able to make longer hallways, more interior rooms and closets with the new interior doors, all of which is great for an inn. The Town & Village core set didn’t have quite as many floor pieces as the Dungeon Tiles I set, so it was harder to utilize all the wall pieces at my disposal here.

But what if we combine both core sets with Expansion Pack I? And maybe throw in the summoning circles because they're fun too. What could we create then? Well here we go! Here we have my general store on the right, with a summoning circle behind two locked doors.

Then to the left you have some living quarters, which hide the entrance to a big dungeon, which takes up the left side of my table. Lots of winding hallways and rooms of many sizes. And I still have pieces leftover on the right hand side of the table.

If you have both core sets and this expansion pack, you can create a dungeon that will take up a big section of your gaming table and should keep you entertained for an entire game session or two. It’s pretty incredible. But now… let’s throw in the Doors & Archways pack and the Dungeon Dressings pack and turn on that summoning circle.

Here’s everything I have: Dungeon Tiles I, Town & Village I, Expansion Pack I, Dungeon Dressings, Doors & Archways, and Summoning Circles. The only thing missing is the Stairs & Ladders set, which we don’t have just yet. Hopefully you can see what all is possible with various combinations of these sets and a good imagination.

You should also have enough raw material here to recreate important encounter rooms from your adventures. Keep in mind that you don’t necessarily have to recreate your entire dungeon on the table. For areas where encounters aren’t likely, you and your group can just use your imagination.

Then you can bring out the rooms where the combat occurs. All in all, this set gives you enough options to really create some interesting builds. The unsung heroes of the set are really the corners and the pillars. Those really help you define a space.

It’s great to get extra interior doors for the Dungeon Tiles set as well, since the base set only came with two. And keep in mind that if you’re just missing a couple of pieces to finish off your perfect build, WizKids is planning to sell individual pieces from their web store.

But this pack, plus the base sets and Doors & Archways, should give you enough for most builds. I would like to see a set of just floors at some point. I tended to run out of floors before I ran out of walls and corners. A box of like 50 floor tiles would be pretty welcome, but when you combine the new base sets, you do end up with quite a lot of space, and since the double-sided floor tiles are the same in the two base sets, you can use them in any kind of WarLock Tiles build you make.

So that’s Expansion Pack I! As I said, we don’t have Stairs & Ladders just yet, but we’ll share it with you the moment it arrives. We actually have a big shipment coming in from WizKids maybe this Wednesday the 15th, so tune in then for a big unboxing.

Maybe Stairs & Ladders will be in that box! Check out our WarLock Tiles playlist to see all our reviews of all the other sets, and let me know in the comments section down below if you have any WarLock Tiles questions.
