Suggestions needed for clever Gaming tables with storage solutions.

Hi all

With my application for converting my garage into a gaming room underway (calling it the Aett!!), my thoughts are turning to what I would like to see in said room. 

[Not mine but just lovely]

Now as you may know, I do like a busy battlefield with lots of troops and super Heavies (Titans especially), so size needs to be taken into consideration. Ideally I would like a table that could field a pair of 6x4 boards next to one another for super mega battles like below:


But also be moveable enough to run two simultaneous 6x4 games:


I was toying with the idea of having two moveable 4x4 cabinets on wheels so that I could always just have a 6x4 board sitting on top of each cabinet, or should I feel like it, just 1 8x4 board surface for standard games. So I am pretty much set on the idea of these cabinets (which have storage capabilities to house my Zone Mortalis and regular Realm of Battle tiles+Scenery. Has any one seen any cabinets or designs like this out there? Or do you have an alternative suggestion?

  1. A standard Double Bed frame slats can be cut to be 6x4 so two of those on top of cabinets, all on wheels is easily done and cheap besides. Mine as an example: http://weemen.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/transmission-resumes-new-games-room.html
    This used the Ikea Traby line of box cabinets, but others exist, Traby line is now absent from catalogue soz.

    1. The rear side is open for maximum awkward shaped terrain storage - currently my to-do pile as seen in this post: http://weemen.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/weemen-2017-hobby-goals-not-resolutions.html
