Well, I have the dimensions and all of that, and want a nice, custom table. Anyone have any idea what mats would be best, and any tips? or a link to one? Examples would work too.

Do you want the table to focus on being functional or being cool? Also do you want to be able to transport it without a car?

Grr.. I wanna make a table so badly. But there's absolutely nobody in the New York City Metro Area that plays blood bowl so it'd just be more solitaire. Sad

I'd like it to be fairly durable, fairly light at the same time, and still look good. So, again, Ideas?

Here is my idea, buy a castle kit from some russian company, build the walls for the outside wall, then use the Crenellated top of the wall to make a mold of the field level wall that rings the field. after that, use flock to mark the field, you can use a stencil the dugout and even freehand a scatter template on top of one of the towers... at least, that's what I would do.

DM used to make killer boards, called Hyperpitches. Not sure if he's still doing it, or if he's still active here on fumbbl, but he'd have a wealth of info on the subject.

If you put up 'blood bowl custom pitch' on Google, you'll find quite a few links with some ideas. For example,
