Ogre. The vehicles work, the infantry doesn't.
I'm impressed by this ogre stuff. I had heard of it before, but thought it was like 1:3000 landship type stuff, not 6mm.
Is it really the case that the infantry don't work? Reviews I've read say they're about 8.5mm tall. At 1:285 that works out to 8 feet or 2.4 metres. Sounds perfect for a genetically enhanced supersoldier in power armour (Space Marines). At 1:300 (which Epic is not, given how huge the vehicles are), it goes up to being 8 ft 5 inches or 2.55 metres. Again, not out of line for Space Marines at all.
Also, I think any of the larger stuff (15mm.co.uk's stuff and these Ogre Infantry) would work great as Ogryn substitutes. They'd be close combat power armour troops instead of the descendants of mutated humans (Ogryn).
What I'm really interested in though, is the vehicles. Does anyone know of any galleries of them with things in the pictures that could give you an idea of scale? Like a 40mm epic base, or a 1 inch round base, or a ruler, or a miniature we know the size of (the epic line, GHQs stuff because we can recalculate everything based on scale if we need to figure stuff out).
