I went with http://www.hotzmats.com/ they were fast, the mats were custom sized for exactly what I wanted and theyre beautiful. I just used them for the tournament we ran for warmachine at the trumpeter salute in Vancouver.

we bought 3 for our store too :D

Thanks for the suggestions, but warzone aren’t mats and difficult to transport. It’s kind of weird that there are a lot of games that are played on 4 x4 but no one makes normal flocked mats for them.

Zuzzy mats are not flocked and are a bit scenic specific but I would still recommend them over a big sheet that has only been flocked green, like train mats. Personal choice I guess.

GW mats generally have a “border” - the flocked area is *usually* 4′ wide.

The mats I use are actually for model train dioramas and so they are wider than 8′ x 4′ and are intended to be cut to fit.

IAMNM even the GW mats are wider than 4′ are they not?

whilst not flocked per se, Hotz Arts mats are very nice.

Zuzzy has 4×4. I guess those aren’t flocked, though. Don’t mind me.

i think he means ‘naturally 4×4 without cutting’? I’d just cut down a 4×6 myself.

What do you mean by “naturally flocked”?
