Nice images. I like them all. Only thing is I think they would all look better with a nice sheep image in the centre instead of all that "Cry Havoc" rubbish :-)

Good work!

I would probably remove the yard numbers, they just confuses

Grass is a little boring if you ask me, and there are loads of pitches with a spiked ball centre.

How about a semi grass pitch, recently they've done a lot like this. Here are some examples.

Southern Strike Bowl, Diamond Cup, HEBBL, Royal Rumble, Adeptes, and the beautiful mydnyte cavaliers. Personally though, if I was getting one, I'd get it done on their Skaven pitch. That's a cool pitch.

I heard that with the rolled up pitches, you need to store it the other way (i.e. inside out). Then when you are about to play, roll it the other way. It's a special material that's memory should make it flatten out. Personally though, I think the jigsaw pitches look better. However I have also heard they're rougher on figures, and could wear through a figures paint.

@Shraaag
I chose the yard numbers option because it is different to a standard BB pitch but I do agree.
@harvestmouse
Yes the spiked ball is a little to common. Choosing which pitch to start from is difficult, I do like the worn ones with the paving exposed like your link but not so much the worn grass effect.
Having played on both I will go for the jigsaw. One other problem with the roll-up ones is they tend to stick to you if you lean on them.
@Russo
I think a sheep themed one would suit you better :)

The fumbbl one would be better if it was showing double skulls

NAF one looks best, guess it's because it's actually a logo. :P

Great work.

You probably remove that particular spike ball from the fields though as it is a big no-no here.

I love the yard markers! Looks NFLy. The turnaround from FFfields is a little bit slow... but their pitches are really good quality. I've played many games on them, and I've got to say that (even though I thought I wouldn't) I prefer the roll-out version to the puzzle version. Try rolling it up with the graphics on the outside and it shouldn't curl at the corners.

Also, I second the NAF logo pitch. I'd probably buy one of these if the end zones said "home" and "away" or something.

I have one similar to this. Designed and made by Rat City (Seattle League.) Its made with 40 mm, which is way better. Good Field. $50 US funds was the cost. Its a rolled vinyl mat.

what i would love to see is a handmade legal size version of the Client board with all the tokens!

Thanks for the feed back. I like the NAF one best too but it would not be very exclusive as there are similar ones already. Think I am going to change the pitch background to see if I like that better.

@B_SIDE
You could have home & away in the end zones as that is an area you can customise.

I know this is being pedantic, but why does only the reserves box have steps down into it?

Why aren't there steps down or a doorway from the reserves box into either of the other 2 boxes?

@dfunkateer
While I agree it is strange the official dugout from GW is the same in that respect!
