A colossal sailing ship for use with miniatures in your D&D Game. Sounds like something all D&D groups must own?

Yeah, it is pretty pricey. And you need two if you're gonna have some boarding action!night_druid wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 11:35 amAt $250, I doubt its a "must own" for most DMs
Looks neat, though.![]()
It's called "Icons of the Realms", but I don't think I've ever heard of the Falling Star before. And I can't find an article for it on Forgotten Realms Wiki.
There are a bunch of pictures over there too.Icons of the Realms: The Falling Star Sailing Ship at the WizKidz website wrote:Coming Soon!

The fact that this ship doesn't just look good, but can also be taken apart for miniatures combat adds value over something that looks awesome, but that you can't actually open (like Lazerrus Laslonin's amazing Spelljammer Nautiloid).ICv2 wrote:“The decks of the ship are going to be removable. You can have things going on below decks, whether it's stored treasure, surprise encounters, or if it's even just a place that people end up moving to, to have some combat interactions.”
“One side of the decks are going to have a grid for combat, and the other side of the deck is going to be plain,” he continued. “Whether people are doing gridded games of Dungeons & Dragons, or theater of mind, it's going to be the right layout for them.” The design is not final. WizKids did hint that an unpainted version of the boat may be available after the painted version is released.
Seems to me this type of products are mainly made for the high end collectors.Dread Delgath wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 1:49 amHrmm. These won't sell like hot-cakes at $250. That means my store will get several of these in, they'll sit on the shelf forever, and the store owner will refuse to get any other D&D minis in until these are all gone.
Is that game to scale for 28mm minis?Besides, I have a Milton Bradley game called "Broadsides & Boarding Parties" that I've never played, but could use the ships for boarding actions on the D&D high seas.
