BB pitch options...

I might be needing to buy an extra pitch to a league I'm running (and playing) with some friends.
The options I see right now are:
- Get another GW pitch (with or without the complete box, maybe in ebay to be a bit cheaper),
- The NAF world cup (if they are still available),
- Maybe one of those that Impact sells.
Are there any other options?
(Zlurpee Bowl IV had a great looking one a few days ago, but they'll only be available later in June...oh and I remember seeing some pics of one from Dutch Open. Looked cool too but they're probably hard to find and expensive to get now).
Thanks

Tritex sells pitches on their own. About £10 I think.

Impact's are aces-n-eights... I've used mine exclusively since I got it (a year ago?) and it's highly portable (rolls up) and doesn't "scoot about"....
Well worth the purchase....

Are the square mesures like the GW official one (for "Range Ruler" pourposes I mean)?
Never realy seen it other than pic on the net.

Yep.
If you want one you'll need to PM/email Galak though, as they can't sell them in the webstore anymore.

Darkson: Why is that? (I was thinking of purchasing one for myself)

Not my place to say.

Make one!
I'm actually working on my 12th now! A simple pitch can be made without too much difficulty, but if you are feeling really adventurous, you can make a really sexy, race-specific pitch that will make you the envy of your entire league!
Check out the post for my tourney which shows pics of the pitches I have thus far:

A lot of people out there have been making them, and I think there are a thread or two which discuss some of the methods used.

Well, I've made one myself, and it turned out quite well (I even had a wooden frame made for it to be easy to transport and store).
The major problem is the physical space (where to keep them...), so as much as I would like to do some more, I realy need it to be flat & foldable if you know what I mean.
I've also considered (still am) the option of plotting one myself, (themed with the league logo and so) but suppose it wouldnt be that much cheaper than a "professionaly" made one like NAF (or else).
PS: Very cool boards you've got there by the way!
