I think to describe how big that is requires a Scottish accent and questions in a bunch of hard to understand gibberish. I can't do that with a keyboard.
It's definitely a nice piece, I hope that it doesn't cost more than the Stormwall standing next to it. While pretty looking obstacles are nice, I'd really like to see pieces of terrain that the miniatures can interact with and not have to go around.

So that took a minute to realize that was a colossal not a heavy.
I just don't know how useful that is; I assume it's pretty much just an obstruction.

(you hope thats not what she said)

also, whoever shop'd that colossal in there, it looks like its small next to a 30mm base.
EDIT: ...maybe. or it could just be perspective playing with me

I love the idea of PP making terrain, but this piece doesn't grab me. It's too big to use in 'generic' table set-ups, and the detailing on the lower part looks more 40K than steampunk.

It's not PP themselves making the terrain, it's PP having allowed a terrain making company to use their IP for promotional purposes, right?

Could it be cardboard papercraft rather than plastic / resin? That would keep the cost down, and the top looks a bit 'boxy' or flatter than expected from something sculpted.
Would also explain the interesting 'shine' NMM effects that look great, but not quite right for a painted piece.

Looking closely it looks the same as this other terrain stuff I've gotten, can't remember name but it's like laser cut plasticy paper. Kinda just slots together.

The terrain looks massive, which is a mixed blessing. Since it dwarfs the Stormwall, it makes a feasible obstruction, adding a higher simulation value to the game.
It also blocks a lot of the table from player LoS, which impacts the camera as well. Ultimately, having in theme terrain is good, but I think the niche for this might be limited. I certainly wouldn't want to buy it if I thought I might need to transport it.
If it comes with a seam that allows the top to be lifted away, allowing for easy measurements, then I think it's size isn't excessive.

Thread Necromancy!
Will Schick has apparently been tweeting about this new water tower terrain with pictures. Apparently it comes as a sheet(s) of laser-cut board and plastic that needs to be punched out and assembled. You also need to paint it yourself apparently, so ignore the pretty colors and overdone highlighting in the original picture.
I'd say that with some pre-planning, care, and patience you could spray-paint / airbrush the different panels different colors, assemble it, and then touch up for a decent looking piece of terrain. According to Schick there is also potential to make it as 2 different pieces of terrain, you would just need to make a base for the water tower.

Meh. I dislike MDF terrain where the surface detail consists entirely of laser scoring, rather than layers of MDF. This piece is unworthy of Warsenal.
