what happened to gw battlemat????

Have a look at http://www.ainsty-castings.co.uk/

Ebay search on felt, 6x5, 20 available colours about a tenner.

Yes, but felt isn't nearly as realistic as the GW mats (we, too, have four at our club). And the railway stuff is paper-backed and flimsy. The jury's out on the fleece throws.

I went ahead and bought one of the larger throw fleeces and am very pleased especially with the way it can be laid over books, foam etc to form slopes. My C19th stuff on 60mm frontage bases has no problem standing on it and it also forms different shades owing to the nature of the material. It definitely looks a lot better than felt. Quite chuffed really for the price, which was lower than the GW mat and it's also a bit bigger, but there again, different strokes for different folks.

Try Hobbycraft, they often have them.

My local Hobbycraft had loads in stock last week so worth a look (would have posted sooner but forgot where I had seen this post) Listed on their website as a store only item.

Heard a rumour on Sunday that GW are going to put more battlemats on sale - but at twice the price. Blow that for a game of marbles!

To be honest it wouldn't be GW if they didn't find some way of raising the price.

Yes....But to be fair, they're probably going to be made out of synthetic cashmeremore......A highly prized and valuable material.

And I'd feel cheeky buying in a load of those Asda cloths for £5 each and selling them at £8...

I've looked into hotz mats before, but i was unsure 

I have looked around a bit and read about very varying shipping times, with some of them being exceptionally long
