You Could Win – Winter Cobblestone Mat
Get involved in the comments as we’d love to hear what you’re thinking!


































Love that they actually made the terrain for the battlemat image, very cool.
do we get a warren with the mat ?
Thats a new catch for me, and I realy like what they are doing, Web bookmarked for later use 😉
I’d love to play Frostgrave, Twisted, and Wolsung on that winter cobblestone mat! Kraken does amazing work.
The citadel lid holder is a brilliant idea, except I don’t use citadel paints any more.
GW pot holder.. I love that Idea. Always need some Frostgrave love with the new mat
Awesome that it’s hand crafted not just 3D designed. Would love that thing so much. Thanks for sharing ?
Those mats are beutiful but that paint pot holder is a godlike peice of work!!
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?!
Kraken Wargames has some really, really cool stuff. I’m glad to see they’re starting to move internationally a bit more =)
Another company with great products, like the mats a lot!
That pot holder looks good, might have to look to purchase one myself any way. The mat also looks nice.
Overgrown temple says Star Wars: Legion to me
Agreed.Kraken will definitely be getting some attention from my wallet.
I would love that mat to play some Legends of Signum !!
Love there stuff, going to have to go to this show one time.
Very impressive mats. New to this company but will definitely check out the range now.
Some of the best mats on the market, especially the 3d effect going on. Kraken good work!
Kraken does some awesome mats. I love theire stuff
Mat would be perfect for Frostgrave!
got some nice products
Good spot @dignity, that overgrown forest city map is a great idea. Love the prize choice though – frosty and gravy.
New find, didn’t know about these guys. The mats look great; will have to give them a look.
love the look of there gear
This mat would be great for my winter themed Legion of Everblight Army or Frostgrave.
love the mat ive some cygnar that would look good on that
Those mats are gorgeous, not seen those design before
That mat would be great for some Frostgrave! Great choice!
Nice temple mat, so is the frost grave one.
Awesome mats missed the original KS looking forward to when they have distribution set up in the uk
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!
Man that winter cobblestone mat has my future games of Kings of War: Vanguard written all over it
Winter cobblestone mat I’ve been an admirer of since the kickstarter
The question remains: Does the winner get a mat that is new and clean, or will it be Soiled by Warzan(tm)?
That looks like a nice mat!
the resolution on them mats looks great. also loving the paint pot lid holder opener
That is interesting way of designig mats. One could easily match terrains with it.
This looks awesome!
Looks great, liking the look for the potential Legion pieces.
Kraken have the hottest mats and Justin chooses the coolest. But the GW pot holder is the best.
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
It’s no yellow blanket, but it still looks pretty sweet.
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 🙂
damn these are so cool
I wish I had known of their table kickstarter…it looks spiffing.
That cobble mat would be pretty versatile
great mats but damn I can’t believe I missed the GW lid holders I would have certainly grabbed one or two of those.
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.
I knew I saw that mat before, really nice map by the way lots of details. The pot holder will solved my lid problem.
More maps! MORE! Gib map! XD
Have an urban mat from them, very nice designs.
Nice mat.
So that’s who you got that mat from. I’d wondered.
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.
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…
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!
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 🙂
These were beautiful.
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
HALE HYDRA oops wrong show brilliant play mats.
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? 🙂
Needs the warren meets mat rubdown before you ship it out to the winner
Their stuff looks amazing
Great choice Justin now I only have to win it
great mat im going to have to get my hands on them
really nice designs of those mats
nice mats, the one for the prize is sweet
i would love to set up a khador table on that mat
Check out my recent project painting a crapton of Kraken’s junk scatter terrain. Their stuff is the nuts!
Went to their website after watching this video, there is some really well thought out accessories there.
Great job.
Perfect gaming map for frostgrave
Can never have enough mats!!!! They look fantastic!
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.
a winter cobblestone gaming mat would be a great addition to our club terrain!
Looks like a wonderful mat for frostgrave.
Nice mats Great designs
I’d like to see more
On of the better looking winter mats.
Incredible Mats!!
Winter is coming.
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!
dam missed those, love that paint holder
Brrrrrrrr, fingers sting as metal rings on metal in the depths of winter!
The paint pot holder is so cool. What a great idea. So need one of them
Justen, glad you chose the winter mat. Hope I’m a winner 🙂
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.
Amazing maps! Kraken do a really good job! Looking forward to more designs.
Cheers!
great mats and a great prize
The paint pot holder just blew my mind.
Beautiful mats and I have yo order that lid holder.
Great looking mats & counters
those mats are gorgeous
That mat is amazing, and would be great for Malifaux. I’ll take one!
I’d never heard of these guys before but the stuff they do looks great.
Loving those gaming mats.
So much so that I had a quick look on their website…. ….I wish I could read in German 🙂
Fantastic looking mats
Those are some neat mats!
Some really great detail on these mats, definitely have to check these folks out.
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.
The paint holder is a great idea.
Those mats look amazing and the Citadel holder is brilliant
Fantastic stand! Will they end up challenging gamemat eu? Maybe.
Nice to see new companies making if to salute again bringing new ideas with them.
they do do a good kickstarter
Wow…would like to grab that mat for my Bolt Action Winter germans!
I love love love that winter cobblestone city mat. Its one of my favorites.
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
Release the Kraken!….. No seriously, he’s trapped in the bathroom again!
Can never have too many mats. Would be great for Frostgrave or Mordheim.
Loving those mats.
Well then I got to keep a closer eye on this company.
So.. you could win a WIN-ter Cobblestone mat? How absolutely fabri-less!
That’s a wonderful cobblestone design.
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.
Looks great!
That’s a funny paint holder. But if you ever need one, it means that the paint is faulty designed…
love the matt
I hate the GW paint bottles.
Very nice looking mat
I love these mats!
Ooh lovely lovely mats. And a thing to make using my gw washes less annoying!
Perfect for Frostgrave and Mordheim
Great looking mats.
Kraken mats look really great and highly detailed but the GW paint pot holder is the real winner for me.
That is an amazing looking mat, might have to have a browse through they’re product list.
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.
Very nice mats ideed.
Kings of war or frostgave would play soooo well on there. Also, a Batman Returns scenario from the tree lighting.
I’d love this map, for frost grave.
That is a gorgeous mat, would be very nice for Frostgrave or D&D
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
A nice looking mat.
That mat and their range is excellent, definitely need to check out the website
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.
Great level of detail in the mats from these guys
I could certainly find some uses for that mat
Great products
Like others have said, that winter mat would be great for Frostgrave. Would definitely help get it to the table.
That cobblestone mat looks perfect for Mordheim (or Frostgrave).
Justin is right. That is a really nice mat. I have seen it in quite a few of their play throughs!
Wow! Just wow! Those ideas are grat and mats re beatiful. Mats are greatest invention for wargaming since miniatures 😀
good choice Justin, this is one of gest table mats in their range.
Nice mats
Was not familiar with Kraken before but their stuff looks good. Gone to check out their website 🙂
I would love this
I keep on meaning to pick up a gaming mat but never do.
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.
