Oi!!! I resemble that remark ;D

 lol


Ah, the Mad Jeff of the Valleys ploy. I still have a 2m x 1m roll of mint green Teddy bear fur that I don't really know what to do with

Underpants?

Teddy bear fur to the inside or outside?

Well, I guess that depends on whether you are more bothered by looks or comfort.

For those that have these throws, how would they do for 15mm? I have a mix of minis, some based on washers and others on pennies. My impression is that my minis and small terrain would fall over a lot

Good question I was wondering how to make it stable.  That is assuming I get it back from my 14 year old son who's nicked as a blanket.

Ah that's cool - I've often thought about that stuff as a cheap and easy gaming surface. The blue is particularly effective.

Just received two very large throws from Dunelms - the moss green ones

They are 220cm x 220cm and double sided - these two should be sufficient to cover my table.

Next job to see if they will take an electric razer - although I am concerned that this might be problematic given the fur is double sided

Looks like a new terrain project is going to start !

Good stuff Giles, let us know how you get on. I played a game on mine this week and the pile is just a little to long for my taste and I wouldn't mind shaving it down a bit, but it's a big area.
I liked the way the terrain I placed on top of it sunk into the pile, very effective, but figures based on pennies struggled with the pile but were OK on sabot bases.
These were 28 mm figures and terrain I don't think the mat would be suitable for smaller scales.

The table looks great Giles, did you use them as they came or did you shave them down at all?
