I like the concept of the GW battle board thing and the fact that it can be set up in a variety of different ways, but I hate the price.
My solution is to make my own board using 12" square cork tiles. They make a decent sand coloured surface as is and are easy to paint with whatever scene you require. Plus you can double your options by painting the other side with a different terrain.
The board can then be of any dimensions you like and incorporate any shape, and as its flat you get no model skid.
I have a stack of 20 painted grey with flag stone patterns and road features painted on, it makes a great base for cities of death style games. Some are even geared towards objectives (one has Aquilas painted on it).
Works for me any way
