Looking at the shots that show your shop walls, I see cinder blocks, studs, and of course the garage door. With all the work you've done with foam, I'm stunned that you haven't taken a day or two to insulate your shop! It will make working out there MUCH more comfortable and efficient.

Battle Ideas For This Table 1. Legions Imperialis. Imperial Fists and Inwit Phalangite vs Iron Warriors and Selucid Thorakite. Solar Auxilia battling in the streets and the Astartes fighting on the walls perhaps? Should go without saying, but obviously with Titan Support 2. 40K. Adeptus Custodes vs. Genestealer Cults. Perhaps The Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor is sick of the of the pretender on the Golden Throne. They have begun their uprising and have laid full siege to the Imperial Palace. Most of the Guardsmen have been converted to the cult or destroyed. All that is left to protect the walls is the Brotherhood of Demigods. 3. Legions Imperialis. Perhaps an even larger scale game of Imperialis, focusing on multiple Legions, perhaps Blood Angels and White Scars holding off Sons of Horus and Death Guard? I don't know what Loyal Titan Legions were there, but I know Legio Mortis was there. Titans should be a no-brainer. 4. Legions Imperialis. A more focused game, not really on the whole board, but maybe the city section. The Astartes are fighting on the walls, and down in the city section, street to street combat is going on between the Solar Auxilia. Just a pure Guardsmen game, artillery, melee combat and chaotic battle in the city streets. 5. 40K. Guilliman has returned to Terra to meet the Emperor and the Ultramarines must hold off a massive Daemon Army in time for Guilliman to meet with Big E. Maybe the last turn could feature a big bad reutrning to battlefield along side Guilliman. Maybe Magnus, or Mortarion, or even Be'Lakor. Then they can slug it out in the final turn. 6. Adeptus Titanicus. An all titan battle in the city, Legio Mortis needs to breach the walls and get inside the main palace, but a loyalist Titan Legion will obviously be standing in their way.

I'm curious if you will be playing with the rules for ranges for weapons due to the massive scale of the buildings. Like, do weapons up on the ramparts of the palace get a range bonus shooting down at the city sector so that there can be some interaction between forces in different sections of the board? And do stationary heavy weapons in the city scape get a "setup bonus" if they are stationary to overcome that height when fired the other direction? Just an idea to play with.
