You are just like me when it comes to actually playing, I'm much more into the modeling aspect of it. are ou planning to have it be a diaramma or an actual battlefeild... which would be able to fit like, 5 way battles! I would actually try to come up with a story for the table, and then make it so it fits... what battles where fought there, who has come into contact with this world ect. it would not be able to be a forge world and still have craters and trenchwork on a plain. mabby a hive in the city part of it, one with a lot of walkways and spires, so the battle goes on at eye level in the city, either in the middle of an H or even a U, with the end up against a wall, then you could put a mirror up and make the city look twice as big. it would also pave the way for plains and outskirts, a farm, or even a tau/alpha legion outpost in one corner, undetected by the population.
Another thing that you could try is to have the craters coincide with the battle fought there. if it was a large-scale imperial gaurd battle, you should have a few deathstrike missle craters and some all-but-destroyed tanks, but if a waaaaagh was masacered there, throw in some discarded roks, and a few orky fortifications.
another major thing is to document yourself building it. Take some pictures, post them here, Email them to a few choice people, and you might be able to be recognised for a huge acheivement.
