Eschers and redemptionists clash in a close range engagement among the industrial ruins of the hive

Nice setup! Love the bold color choices.

I would suggest adding a circle of chipboard (thin cardboard -- cereal box, or other food item box) to the tops of the tin cans, to better hide their origins, as that is a real immersion-breaking distraction. The chipboard can be cut with a scissors, creating a flat top; you can fill in any gaps using a small, Low Temperature Hot Glue Gun (High Temperature Glue Guns push out Glue which is too runny, and more difficult to control, as it remains too liquid for too long, flowing however gravity pulls it). Once hardened, Hot Glue can carved, sanded, filed, and painted: acrylic paint adheres nicely, even without primer. The hot tip of the Glue Gun can be used to sculpt the hardened Glue as it will always re-melt with heat applied. Cheers!

I like the textured black tiles that you used for industrial flooring.

Rather than chipboard, you can fill the top of the can with glue and paint it as toxic sludge. That will discourage fighters from climbing on top of the cans!

Brilliant!

High Temperature Hot Glue will be molten enough to make a smooth surface (FYI: it might harden with the Glue rounding down, at the edges, like mercury metal -- experiment on a test can). If you want some texture in its surface, use Low Temperature Hot Glue which will allow you to make ripples, and such, with a little practice. If you don't like the results of either temperature Glue, after it hardens, you might be able to pry it off, hopefully without damaging the metal can -- practice on a test can, first. Cheers!
