[Archive] Table/playing mat lava theme

Yodrin:

I recall that someone posted some links to some very fine table mats, but i can’t find the thread/s.

Anyone? :cheers

Any lava themed gaming mats anywhere?

Bloodbeard:

PM RedSkullz he has one.

Skink:

I guess you are talking about this one. I bought it the day it was released, and it is pretty cool. One thing though, these mats are basically massive rubber prints. I mean, the battlefield is just a “photo”, and there is no texture whatsoever (unlike the excellent Zuzzy mats, which however require painting).

Yodrin:

Updated with the lava question;)

Skink:

I still vouch for the ones I posted above :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yodrin:

They are great mats Skink, but needs painting. I hoped to find some ready ones, and I think I have seen lava one in earlier thread:)

DAGabriel:

Did you refer to this thread?

Yodrin:

Don’t think so DAGabriel, but it could have been a BB mat when I think of it…

Skink:

How about this one?

Yodrin:

Yodrin:

Btw, any preference on pvc mat or cloth mat?

Skink:

Well, depends of what uses you have for it. Is it something that’s only going to see your kitchen table for the odd game? Or you plan to ferry it around all the warhammer clubs in Norway? You just want to take glamour shots of your dwarfs? Or you want to cut it up to make a display board for your army? On the top of my head I’d say that:

PVC: Cheaper. But Heavier, bulkier (you can only roll it up for storage purposes, and trust me, it 'uge), more difficult to clean.

CLOTH: Slightly more expensive and holds dust like hell. But is foldable (you can store it in your wardrobe or carry it in a backback), and easy to wash. You can even iron or hoover it.

From a gaming perspective neither should give you any trouble… Although I suspect that if you want to take some glamour shots of your minis then cloth has a certain texture that might (or might not) alter your photos.

Yodrin:

The is the pvc one the same material as they use on the Fat Mat? http://eustore.frontlinegaming.org

Yodrin:

No it can’t be i guess.

Its pretty much going to be on the table, not dragging it around

Skink:

You know the carpets that were used a decade ago on cars’ floors? The PVC mat is basically the same thing (without the furry part on top obviously).

It’s literally a massive sheet of spongy rubber with lava and rocks stamped on it.

Abecedar:

They look enticing. Ive seen some for wings of war etc and they did look great.

Yodrin:

Anyone have any exp with these ones
