There's a lot of different resources in that space for terrain and objectives. Are you sure you're tables are big enough :)

Wow, thank you so much for the extensive look at your expansive collection on google! There's so much cool stuff to discover and to be amazed by. Only at second sight I saw that your Marines on Castle Grey Skull must be 1/12 scale, right? Man, that shelf construction is a masterpiece on its own.

Like the playmobil diorama on the shelf very much, too! Is the building on the table in the second picture from playmobil as well? I'm always looking for buildings in 1/24 scale.

And from which toy-line are these Droideka-like droids?

Hi @Starchaser, we play Warlogic which does not really require tables. The figures can actually fly or cross bridges to the city mounted on the garage walls to try to flank the other army. Flanking tactics are essential for winning a battle and they work in 3D as well. A battle is limited by a budget though. In this case I thin we will go with ~2,000,000 credit budget.
Here is the Imperial Fists Platoon that is engaging (IF tab) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15p9azZqtBO0_UFVzb2WVh5q73KZcjCNmqYxcKUlwuy4/edit?usp=drive_web

Thanks @Darth More!
Yeah the whole collection is ~2700 units mostly in the 1:18th scale. You can play WarLogic game in any scale you want though.
All statistics about the collection is here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1suA4_YwkyNdATgkx4aBXUIJv6r0KZN_53n36qSIk5tg/edit?usp=drive_web

The Imperial Fists space marines are actually 1:18th but according to the lore of WH40K they are "significantly" augmented. But Yes!, they fit perfectly in a MOTU GreySkull as if it was made for them.

The shelf is part of a city that is built in the garage to work as a display as well as gaming field. It has over 200 buildings in it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GJ-T3906prWOco9MozwvJe0TMhvKdYvE7khscGvpkEo/edit?usp=drive_web

The Playmobil folks are considered halflings and they are very effective pirates and light cavalry
Pirates: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eyY5pGZNJPM3TqtpO_BuptVHRRCoKn1pCua_ZvzXPz4/edit?usp=drive_web
Cavalry: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VK2qtFaQMf8yDFrzFtLC0DcLSfLQU3tvS71rNmmpAHU/edit?usp=drive_web

The building is a Calico Critters https://calicocritters.com/en-us/parent/ which is very similar in scale and style to Playmobil.

The figures are Dollartree Final Faction's Kharn https://www.dollartree.com/final-faction-kharn-action-figures/338973 . They are cheap and amazing for xenomorph/bug/horde army building. Here is their datasheets in WarLogic https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DHxUjGX6lrWQZcWwZRKxzimeOvHcYsHSUAApFOOkx-4/edit?usp=drive_web

Wow, thank you so much for your thorough reply! Never heard of the Final Faction toy line, but dollar stores have always been a treasure trove when it comes to crafting and customizing.
$1.25 is an interesting price for a Dollar Store, but they probably had to adjust their prices due to inflation. The EuroShop here in Germany sell all their items for 1,30€ or more since the Pandemic.
Thanks for providing all those links! I'll try to get one of those Kharn Droids for a repaint.
The house looked very familiar to me especially after I visited Spain. They're called Sylvanian Families there I think. I have to take a closer look at those houses then.

So did I understand it correctly that you invented a tabletop game to play with ALL your action toys by rules? :o

@Darth More, No worries! The files are public and you can actually trace the vendor, lore, etc of any figure you like.

For example, the Huntra you were asking about is in this file https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DHxUjGX6lrWQZcWwZRKxzimeOvHcYsHSUAApFOOkx-4/edit?usp=drive_web and has the following properties
1      Dollar tree   Dollar tree   Vendor   Strategy   N/A   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
1      scale1:18   Damage of 4 points because of 12 points of articulation, Range of 0 decimeters, and Explosion radius of 0 decimeters.   Hand to Hand   Offense   Biological, surface-to-surface,    0   4   0   0   20   1   1
1      Final Faction   Final Faction   Universe   Strategy   N/A   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
So you can tell that the vendor is Dollar tree and the universe is Final faction
Then, if you leave the units tab and go to the skills tab you can possibly find more information about those items if I added external links.

Yes I invented the game to be a universal action figure gaming set of rules. You can play with any figures, any scale, and even with very limited resource. All you need is a short handbook, a meter, and dice. Oh, and you have to add your figures to the database. Here is an updated handbook with tactical diagrams.
