Hey Dakka community, I'm interested in creating snow terrain and wondered where online to buy a snow mat? I'm talking about something like Games Workshop's Citadel Battlemat, as I'd like to be able to fold it away easily, basically just a white fluffy mat or something similar.

during christmas time you see those white snow mats...
dont know what fabric they are made off but i suppose you could glue that to a gaming table

Pretty much any felt you can get from a fabric store will be close to what they sell at christmas time.

It's too bad they cut you 3" on the width. What gives? Felt and spray paint. Check out the frontline gaming snow field for an example.

Thanks everyone for the replies, Kroothawk's suggestions are along the lines of what I was looking for though

However as said it is 3" short, are there any ones that are 6'x4' (or larger, I can always cut to size)?
I'm not so keen on spray-painting a mat, you see.

**Kroothawk**

1.) Is 3" at the left and right border really that bad?
2.) If you pay extra, you can get the full 72x48.

The reason behind this is, Hotz got the machine for doing the smaller mats for free, so he took it. Now he also got a machine to do double size, but the extra size costs extra for the extra effort.

I see, I didn't see the option for extra initially. Thanks again, their mats should do perfectly
