A DREADFLEET style mat for BFG?
« on: January 10, 2012, 09:55:13 AM »
I was wondering does anyone know how the dreadfleets mat was made? Because i think it's simple brilliant and I was wondering could there be some manufacture that can produce something similar to it. But for BFG. I don't  know how many of you seen it but it's almost like silk or something it's seems to be printed on a material. I even think it could be washed and even ironed if it's folded.

One of the guys I used to play had a sheet that was just a starscape. He made it from bulk fabric from a hobby store, cost something like $4-5 US iirc.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

I have one from Corsec:

They use SpoonFlower to print them and then have them hemmed in-house. I got mine before they started hemming them and it's considerably cheaper then they are now. It might be worth asking them the cost without the hemming.

Hey thanks for the answers!

Dave
Wow those are awesome . Thanks that's the thing I was looking for, may by I buy one or two . Till now i was considering to find a shop that would print me something like a star-field on a blank sheet. Ma by it will turn out to be cheaper.

You can find them pre-printed at just about any craft store that carries fabric. This is really similar to what he had.http://www.fabric.com/quilting-fabric-novelty-conversational-quilt-fabrics-outer-space-space-starfields-magenta.aspxI saw this place while I was looking too tho! http://www.starscape.co.uk/index.html
