I'm using these vs. Ivan's Space marines and it's pretty damn epic! Now we just need a 40k themed map, with death and awesome!
I hope this gets the ball rolling on that...

All terrain (foreground) is outlined in black, all back-wall is gray. I think x-wrap would detract from the gameplay. I'm thinking a very elegantly detailed cathedral that's been bombed out and ravaged by battle. Space marines must hold the ground until reinforcements arrive. The current ork activities would play very well on this kind of map since many of those deployed don't have jetpacks and could advance over flat terrain very easily.
Considerations i've made when drawing:
Those holding the church would have reinforcements dropped through the hole in the roof, but to keep attackers from dropping on top of the building i think dropzones should be limited such as they are in the sketch. Also, the longer the battle lasts the more the floor under that hole will be worn down, so i think making the top few layers of pixels out of a ridiculously strong material like "test" would help a lot.
I also think that trenches and barbed-wire fences might be a cool addition to what's already there. The barbed wire could be on the back layer, i dunno.
So nicely done mod. I just hope this wasn't really the final release. Please don't stop working with these guys!
