Deepcut Terrain Mat - Winter

[Jagannath]

Hi All,

Well, the sneaking idea I've had of building an 'arctic' style hard sci-fi set is slowly coalescing and may well have crept beyond the point of dismissing it. I think that I'll likely choose a mat for the battlefield though, and like the look of this one because it's all snow (I want to make a VERY snowy terrain set, Hoth-esque):

Has anyone see it in real life? What colour is the 'shade' - grey, as it looks above or blueish as it looks here?

Not entirely sure which I prefer, but I suspect that when it comes to basing terrain and minis to match (which I'm very fussy about) the blueish tone might make that trickier.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Sorry - I meant to post this under General.
