Subject: New 4x4' and 6x4' gaming mats by gamemat.eu
New 4x4' mat "Wastelands" is getting real. We are just curious if you would be interested in purchasing one in pre-order with 10% discount. We plan to set up full price at eur 44. Pre-order option soon to be added in our e-shop. Please leave a comment if you like so. Cheers!
These look quite nice, but what material are they made from?thickness? etc....
You also have serious competition from Deep - cut studios whose 6' x4' mats are under £40, where with the exchange rate your 6' x4' come in at around £52 with a lot fewer designs to choose from as well.

These are completely different of deep cut (deep cut is vinyl/pvc - more something photographers use as backround. Feels more like printed poster.).
Gamemat.eu is a proper durable mat with rubber backing, anti slip, can be rolled and unrolled and there are no dents. its new standard in gaming mats I would say.
Thickness is 2mm. Weight is around 3,5kgs. You can roll it and have couple of months in corner then unroll and play on flat mat!
There is no logo printed on it.

right it is like mouse pad material, just better thickness and quality. Surface feels like fiber, very good dice rolling and model movement. feels soft for touch

4x4 we plan to put on e-shop for pre-order with 10% discount in 2 weeks. With delivery of actual product in late July. So definitely will take some more time.
Priority(5days)Shipment to UK is for
1pc - EUR 23,
2pcs package - EUR 30
and for 3pcs package - EUR 37.
For more then 3 mats please contact me on gamemat.eu@gmail.com and we might settle some deal on price/shipment conditions.
Automatically Appended Next Post: and for what game would be 3x3 suitable?
Automatically Appended Next Post: that shipment reffers to 6x4' size. 4x4 could be bit cheaper.

@Matous as Panic says 3x3 is suitable for X-Wing but also Malifaux and other skirmish based games.
The postage is a bit rich for me though, Deep Cut offer it at half that price with every additional mat being free. It seems like postage companies are trying to cripple some businesses with their current prices.

Guys, I have bought one of these (the one with the daemon summoning circle in the middle) and I must say, it's absolutely gorgeous. Matous1983 isn't lying, the material looks good, stays flat and dice roll well on it
12k+ pts Chaos Marines, Heretic Guard and Daemons (The Scourged)
2k pts Tyranids (Hive Fleet Hornet)

However, the quality of the artwork is not good enough, on the battleground mat, the repeating pattern of the grass is clearly visible, as if the same tiny patch of grass has been photoshop clone-tooled over and over and you can clearly see it form a grid pattern on the mat. There are two patches of identical rocks copy+pasted as well.
It doesn't look like a lot of effort was put into the artwork, just some stock textures hastily thrown together without much regard for creating a natural look.

Yours certainly does look like a superior product in most respects, it is just a shame that the length and weight of the package makes it cost prohibitive to buy from you. Again that is not totally your fault, but if you do start 3x3 mats and get a few more designs I will certainly consider a purchase.

Clearly a matter of individual opinion. I can assure you on mat design was spend tens of hours of designer work. We wanted to assure there is enough variability and not just plain areas of 2 colors as on competition mats. I must say I think repetitiveness is the last which defines our mats clearly I think most of owners did not mind that each piece of grass is not original. On a table it looks great. I honestly do not now any other gaming mat which has so variable design as battleground.

Also have you considered a UK/US supplier?
Sure mainly UK and Germany retailers are so far interest. We are working out on some representations. But I still defend the point that such a gaming mat really hikes the aesthetic level of standard gaming table (carpet covered, or plain) and the cost even plus shipment is still less then buying GW modular tables or building own custom table (which is always top end in our hobby - but not everybody has the talent and the time to do so). We plan now 3 designs of 4x4 mats for preorders. 3x3 mats will probably follow.

Yes, that is what I meant. If you could, that would be fantastic, and probably finalize my decision.
I got this one in my smart phone. I guess it is really proper test of material quality
