But it's going to be pretty damn positive anyway. Just take a look at this:
Although
I never thought to include anything for scale, what you're looking at
here is a 3 high vinyl map of the Empire and Kislev from the Warhammer
World. Despite the quite considerable magnification to go from the
original image here:
...to
the image printed on the vinyl, all the place names, rivers, mountains
and other terrain features are clearly discernible and readable, with
only minimal blurring. Someone more pedantic than myself might consider
tidying up the place names with a permanent marker but there's really no
need. The map is entirely readable even in quite dim light and frankly,
looks pretty damn amazing too.
You'll
notice that the image printed here is slightly truncated north-south
when compared to the original image. That's because the guys at Signs on
the Cheap noticed that the original file I downloaded from the web-site
was corrupt, and had a band of randomly coloured pixels just south of
where my map ends (you can see it on the original image if you look
closely). They kindly suggested a number of options and we eventually
decided simply to end the map just before the corrupt segment.
Delivery
was extremely fast and proofs were emailed promptly only a day after I
sent the map image. Anyone considering such a campaign map should
certainly give signsonthecheap.com a good look.
I'm
even considering trying to commission a proper vinyl battle-mat or two
just to see how they turn out. I have a lot of old Classic Battletech
hex-maps that I'd particularly like to see reproduced on a material
considerably more durable than paper or cardboard. Watch this space and
I'll let you know how I get on.
