Love that they actually made the terrain for the battlemat image, very cool.

tuffyears

do we get a warren with the mat ?

vorganov

Thats a new catch for me, and I realy like what they are doing, Web bookmarked for later use 😉

hobbyhoo

I’d love to play Frostgrave, Twisted, and Wolsung on that winter cobblestone mat! Kraken does amazing work.

mischief

The citadel lid holder is a brilliant idea, except I don’t use citadel paints any more.

pojoh

GW pot holder.. I love that Idea. Always need some Frostgrave love with the new mat

wardm89

Awesome that it’s hand crafted not just 3D designed. Would love that thing so much. Thanks for sharing ?

katana100

Those mats are beutiful but that paint pot holder is a godlike peice of work!!

chargerse67

The Mat is gorgeous. And I wish you had a bit more time to ask him about making the mats. Tobias through in that they make the terrain by hand at the end?!

eldritch247

Kraken Wargames has some really, really cool stuff. I’m glad to see they’re starting to move internationally a bit more =)

janus1004

Another company with great products, like the mats a lot!

jodain

That pot holder looks good, might have to look to purchase one myself any way. The mat also looks nice.

lawnor

Overgrown temple says Star Wars: Legion to me

kantor72

Agreed.Kraken will definitely be getting some attention from my wallet.

gleesman

I would love that mat to play some Legends of Signum !!

ironshield

Love there stuff, going to have to go to this show one time.

gazky

Very impressive mats. New to this company but will definitely check out the range now.

golonka

Some of the best mats on the market, especially the 3d effect going on. Kraken good work!

jocke

Kraken does some awesome mats. I love theire stuff

Robert

Mat would be perfect for Frostgrave!

darkspi

got some nice products

zoidpinhead

Good spot , that overgrown forest city map is a great idea. Love the prize choice though – frosty and gravy.

czerton

New find, didn’t know about these guys. The mats look great; will have to give them a look.

malsuir

love the look of there gear

trinitty

This mat would be great for my winter themed Legion of Everblight Army or Frostgrave.

wolf320f

love the mat ive some cygnar that would look good on that

cruciumgiger

Those mats are gorgeous, not seen those design before

falcon86866

That mat would be great for some Frostgrave! Great choice!

pagan8th

Nice temple mat, so is the frost grave one.

cousins286

Awesome mats missed the original KS looking forward to when they have distribution set up in the uk

rayzryr

I used to think that I’d never want mats, but having seen what BoW does with them, I’ve come around to the idea. These look like really nice examples too!

ntrabbit

Man that winter cobblestone mat has my future games of Kings of War: Vanguard written all over it

bigbadbazz

Winter cobblestone mat I’ve been an admirer of since the kickstarter

maledrakh

The question remains: Does the winner get a mat that is new and clean, or will it be Soiled by Warzan(tm)?

peacefulwarrior

That looks like a nice mat!

shaunbag

the resolution on them mats looks great. also loving the paint pot lid holder opener

shingen

That is interesting way of designig mats. One could easily match terrains with it.

kadmon

This looks awesome!

taylawlz

Looks great, liking the look for the potential Legion pieces.

goban

Kraken have the hottest mats and Justin chooses the coolest. But the GW pot holder is the best.

utherdracus

We have one of there tables on order 🙂

Awake the Kraken, it’s a rum old job this wargameing bling design

and Warren misses out on Mat again

dstinct

It’s no yellow blanket, but it still looks pretty sweet.

shredhead

Kraken mats are the absolute best on the market rn, at least imho. Great to see them going to the UK and showing off their goods. Good time to show certain people that 10% WTO standard tariffs aren’t the end of all trade, nor the end of the world 🙂

lordsanes

damn these are so cool

fanis

I wish I had known of their table kickstarter…it looks spiffing.

petey9

That cobble mat would be pretty versatile

laughingboy

great mats but damn I can’t believe I missed the GW lid holders I would have certainly grabbed one or two of those.

clansmen

The paint pot holder with lid holder is wierd. Your paints will dry out quicker and gw paints do that well enough on there own

Mats look nice though.

killraw

I knew I saw that mat before, really nice map by the way lots of details. The pot holder will solved my lid problem.

sundancer

More maps! MORE! Gib map! XD

redsarge

Have an urban mat from them, very nice designs.

battlehawk

Nice mat.

bennu

So that’s who you got that mat from. I’d wondered.

jemmy

I didn´t know Kraken is a German company. And, mats are an important part of all games. Even in a 2D game, if there is a nice mat underneath, the fun increases. Buy more mats. Kraken for the win. Weiter so, Jungs.

dathar

I’m in the process of trying to talk a bunch of my friends to get into Frostgrave and that map would be perfect for the base of my city…

duster

Wow, that Winter Cobblestone Mat is looking awesome! The citadel lid holder is great, i have a few pots that the lids don’t stay up and it is such a pain!

Bookmarking their site!

phaidknott

Aren’t these the mad chaps who make the terrain in real life and then take a photo (rather than “drawing it” in photoshop)?

If so, that’s dedication to your art 🙂

sheepman

These were beautiful.

coxjul

Aaaargh!! Saw their banner in the far corner of the hall but didn’t recognise it. Had I known what beautiful mats etc thay produce I would have been straight over there. Loving the frosted cobbles

zorg

HALE HYDRA oops wrong show brilliant play mats.

necron099

Love that mat! The paint pot opener is awsome. A lower tech solution is to jam an old brush handle between the lid and the pot. But seriously, why are these pots so poorly designed? 🙂

nehpets

Needs the warren meets mat rubdown before you ship it out to the winner

hazyboy75

Their stuff looks amazing

huscarle

Great choice Justin now I only have to win it

arkamuz

great mat im going to have to get my hands on them

jesusjaimesuseche

really nice designs of those mats

toricova

nice mats, the one for the prize is sweet

lianjaus

i would love to set up a khador table on that mat

somegeezer

Check out my recent project painting a crapton of Kraken’s junk scatter terrain. Their stuff is the nuts!

phoen31

Went to their website after watching this video, there is some really well thought out accessories there.
Great job.

tahatan

Perfect gaming map for frostgrave

jmrecoil

Can never have enough mats!!!! They look fantastic!

falerox

It’s awesome that that is a high res image of actual 3d terrain…and sugar, LOL. Great looking products, I also love the resin scatter terrain.

tomrr

a winter cobblestone gaming mat would be a great addition to our club terrain!

paperwarrior

Looks like a wonderful mat for frostgrave.

greaper

Nice mats Great designs

comoran

I’d like to see more

daegren

On of the better looking winter mats.

robgan01

Incredible Mats!!

chosenman44

Winter is coming.

darkdanegan

These just must have had a really good show. Their stand was pretty sparse by the end. I really wanted to pick up a set of the shiny x-wing templates in the slick black tray. I’m still toying with going on their web store and doing just that!

hairybrains

dam missed those, love that paint holder

markeejay

Brrrrrrrr, fingers sting as metal rings on metal in the depths of winter!

buggeroff

The paint pot holder is so cool. What a great idea. So need one of them

irondragon6

Justen, glad you chose the winter mat. Hope I’m a winner 🙂

innes

Nice mat for frostgrave. Pot-lid-holder thing a brill idea. I use a palette for paints, but the lids of the inks are always closing up when you don’t have a spare hand to sort it.

ijontichy

Amazing maps! Kraken do a really good job! Looking forward to more designs.
Cheers!

deadhead

great mats and a great prize

antiphony

The paint pot holder just blew my mind.

cbrenner

Beautiful mats and I have yo order that lid holder.

astralwraith

Great looking mats & counters

necrothrall

those mats are gorgeous

theamazingmrg

That mat is amazing, and would be great for Malifaux. I’ll take one!

slugherder

I’d never heard of these guys before but the stuff they do looks great.

skodamarine

Loving those gaming mats.
So much so that I had a quick look on their website…. ….I wish I could read in German 🙂

pheonixlww

Fantastic looking mats

while

Those are some neat mats!

stainless001

Some really great detail on these mats, definitely have to check these folks out.

ravingmad8

Very nice looking products. I really like the X-Wing movement templates and tokens. The cases for them are a really nice touch to keep everything organized.

badgobo

The paint holder is a great idea.

psyntologist

Those mats look amazing and the Citadel holder is brilliant

trewets

Fantastic stand! Will they end up challenging gamemat eu? Maybe.

uptrebor

Nice to see new companies making if to salute again bringing new ideas with them.

wilco92

they do do a good kickstarter

machinegod

Wow…would like to grab that mat for my Bolt Action Winter germans!

paragon

I love love love that winter cobblestone city mat. Its one of my favorites.

dane001

The obvious choice for this one would be frostgrave but I’d go all out with SAGA and fabled realms when it is finished.

Great products from these guys

dammitprawn

Release the Kraken!….. No seriously, he’s trapped in the bathroom again!

evilspock

Can never have too many mats. Would be great for Frostgrave or Mordheim.

jax78

Loving those mats.

spacewolflord

Well then I got to keep a closer eye on this company.

redsarge

So.. you could win a WIN-ter Cobblestone mat? How absolutely fabri-less!

144artist

That’s a wonderful cobblestone design.

marktarver

Saw these guys at Salute and the mats looked amazing in person – just didn’t have room to get one home. They are great products.

baranora

Looks great!

voyager

That’s a funny paint holder. But if you ever need one, it means that the paint is faulty designed…

bmozzer

love the matt

ahren78

I hate the GW paint bottles.

eion755

Very nice looking mat

otakugirl

I love these mats!

ugleb

Ooh lovely lovely mats. And a thing to make using my gw washes less annoying!

sasha

Perfect for Frostgrave and Mordheim

burnseye

Great looking mats.

papaule

Kraken mats look really great and highly detailed but the GW paint pot holder is the real winner for me.

fireblarney

That is an amazing looking mat, might have to have a browse through they’re product list.

redvers

I’m impressed that they made the mat physically. I’d assumed that it was all either computer generated graphics or hand drawn. Shows what I know.

masterdwalin

Very nice mats ideed.

rgreenparadox

Kings of war or frostgave would play soooo well on there. Also, a Batman Returns scenario from the tree lighting.

redbread25

I’d love this map, for frost grave.

jjbeard926

That is a gorgeous mat, would be very nice for Frostgrave or D&D

nmarchand

I love Kraken’s stuff, really great terrain and really nice mats. I’d love to get my hands on that winter one for Frostgrave

woodrowimpy

A nice looking mat.

phoenixman

That mat and their range is excellent, definitely need to check out the website

dugthefug1644

I have had so much fun making Frostgrave terrain and then have never been able to tie it together on a cool mat and play the game. The winter cobblestone mat looks great.

noyjatat

Great level of detail in the mats from these guys

kjelken

I could certainly find some uses for that mat

felfeni

Great products

goatberger

Like others have said, that winter mat would be great for Frostgrave. Would definitely help get it to the table.

bristolpirate

That cobblestone mat looks perfect for Mordheim (or Frostgrave).

longshotte

Justin is right. That is a really nice mat. I have seen it in quite a few of their play throughs!

sternpb

Wow! Just wow! Those ideas are grat and mats re beatiful. Mats are greatest invention for wargaming since miniatures 😀

radegast6

good choice Justin, this is one of gest table mats in their range.

comoran

Nice mats

stokeman

Was not familiar with Kraken before but their stuff looks good. Gone to check out their website 🙂

hargarpad

I would love this

neoscream

I keep on meaning to pick up a gaming mat but never do.

spikeyfreakstu

The one thing I always lack in my tabletop gaming sessions is a good gaming mat to give the game a better feel. I think the mats would be perfect for my A Song Of Fire and Ice battles.
