No more deployment/objectives measuring hassle in Warhammer 40,000!
https://etsy.me/3cvEWNw









I made a battlefield design specifically for WH40K Strike Force games (60x44"). This being the most common game size, the design sports premade objective placement and deployment zone markings for all the GT2021 GW scenarios. All of them. I have also made a similar design for a neoprene mats manufacturer before.

All you have to do is pick a mission, check the included "legend" file for the matching deployment and objective markers, and start playing. The choice of print material is yours, many neoprene gaming mat makers offer custom graphics production. Good cheap alternatives are billboard cardboards, plywood and polyurethane board, among others. The one you see in the pictures I had made is of the latter. If you have a board/large table to place the product on, you can even get away with just printed canvas or a large durable print paper ark. The files sport a sharp 160DPI resolution.

The design is still immersive and can be played without utilizing the markings. Fits along with multitude of terrain themes such as grey ruins, desert and whatnot. Should the scenarios sometimes change, all it takes is to change the pairings indicated in the legend file. Should the measurements for all scenarios change completely (which I find unlikely) the design is still just as usable as any other with generic graphics. There can be some millimetre differences in the element distances, but nothing drastic.

The pack includes 2 full resolution print files, one with 5mm bleed margins and one without them to suit the needs of your print provider. In addition, it includes the legend file to pair the graphics for the mission you are playing and a guide file for your print provider to check that the measurements in the final product are correct. The pack is available through my Etsy shop and comes supplied through cloud hosting in a link, contained in the "Zone01FileDownloads.pdf". All rights reserved.

The feedback I've received so far has been good, people enjoy getting straight to the gaming part. I can relate. Please note that I'm just an ordinary dude who thought there might be a way to make starting games faster and to ease schedules in events. If you have any problems with the files, contact me through Etsy messaging. For printing related questions, consult your print shop.
