Nov 20, 2018 at 18:29 comment added Ellesedil There is some Warmachine specific information (which Iron Kingdoms is based off of) that could also help inform this answer, although it's not really an answer itself to this question. Having said that, the battle map in a typical Warmachine/Hordes war game battle is 4 feet by 4 feet. There are various rules/scenarios that will shrink the "realistic" area to something smaller, usually by encouraging models to be more centrally located near objectives or models that stray too close to the table edge automatically die. But the physical table area for battle is a 4 foot square.

Aug 28, 2016 at 6:49 comment added Bob @Kalcipher23 yes they're great, just remember not to wipe them down with wet cloth during the game. If there is any moisture on the surface, the whiteboard markers won't work well. Wet wipes are often too much as well. We use an alcohol spray and paper towels, works perfectly.

replace fake header with real header; minor spelling; remove need for starred swears (which aren't super-OK anyway) by swapping phrase
