Im looking to pick up 1-2 battlemats.
I was looking at these guys, specifically the Martian and road based one:

Does anyone have any experince with their mats?

If not, any alternatives ideally would be an EU company since shipping from the US/Ex-EU adds time and costs to things.
Any other ideas or advice is much appreciated. Sizes are 6x4 by the way and Im looking at landscapes (40k/AoS) rather than space scapes etc.

I haven't seen the company you linked, but I do have a mat from gamemat.eu that I really like. Quality is great and the cost is reasonable.

I'm not a huge fan of the PVC/Vinyl mats from any vendor. Just more prone to not sitting flat and accidental creasing/damage.

I would recommend mouse-pad type mats personally.
I believe Frontline does have EU distribution for their FAT mats.
I've bought from Deep Cut studios twice and had a good experience each time. I know they had a recent issue with a Dakka user but that appears to have been resolved and I would order from them again.
I'm planning to put up a little review of the mats I've bought in the next few days.
Of the two I would say that Deep Cut has more accurate pictures of the colour of their mats when printed on the material of your choice. Mouse pad mats tend to print dark.

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

I have 2 mats from this company. The mats are pretty good and unroll flat just leaving them for a few minutes.

Of the two mats I have, red planet and the wasteland, the red planet is good, to scale, and looks nice. The wasteland is a mish-mash of scales, some obviously blown up pictures of dirt and pebbles, mixed in with some nicer sections. However, with some terrain on it, looks ok.

These get played on every other week and Ive had them a few months; looking like they are standing up ok so far even with being stored in a shed.
