I have a good collection of scenery (some bought, some made) but no real surface to play it on.

Google search last night came up with hundreds of options. Ideally I want something durable, 4x6, rollable to store. Not keen on cloth would prefer something that stays down on its own.

I like the look of Deep Cut Studio's stuff but their sizes are limited.

Anyone used any of the UK companies? If so any advice/reviews would be great.

Your distrust in cloth mats is... Illogical, captain!

I bought 1 of these in grass and 1 in desert colours. They're the best, most cost effective option now that GW has bizarrely stopped selling their gamer mats.

Main disadvantage of the Mat-o-War ones is that they don't like being folded so you prolly want to pay a little extra for packaging and keep them rolled rather than folded. Once they're down and you put some terrain on them they behave themselves.

^ Desperate to get one of these, myself. Would really like a grassy one for Warmaster and a more blasted, arid one for Epic. Can't vouch for them myself but a TMP thread gave them good reviews.

I have nothing really against the cloth mats. They just remind me of the Subbuteo! I think the thicker, PVC and mouse mat style give a nicer playing surface and often have a more interesting design.

I saw the second link already but the 7 week lead time put me off....

Ah, I'm teasing! For me the rubber mats remind me of all the horrible tatty computer mouse mats and stationary stuff I had in the 90s!

You can customise the Mat O War - I've not done it myself but you can spray paint it different colours or I guess even dry brush it in patches to give it some variety. Also if you make a cock up of it you can just turn over and use the other side like nothing ever happened.

Zuzzy mats are great. Not UK, though, and terrible customer service to boot...

I'd recommend these that I got from eBay recently. They're essentially lino so there's no texture but the design is pretty nice.

I got a desert and also a snow scene one.

Also just bought a Matowar, pretty stiff, but apparently they soften up like a normal cloth with time. I will wait and see.
