Yep, Jervis stated on the playtesting forums he wanted all the super-heavy tanks and transport aircraft re-done larger, because the new land raider made them look puny  .
Eventually the IG superheavies and the thunderhawk will be re-done too, although he said those particular units aren't likely to be done for quite some time (no ETA given)

That sounds like a typical GW tactic...unfortunately one that wont work with a niche game like epic. All us 'old' gamers with existing armies would just go 'pfffbbbbb' and play the game with the new rules/old minis, or just use the old stuff altogether. 
my 2cents,

Like Primarch, it's the cost of a 10mm game I would worry about...
A single Land Raider for ?10!!!
However it would look fantastic (considering I already think Epic looks fantastic).
1/200th Micro Armour does look a lot better than 6mm, ah well, one can dream...

10mm but still only 15cm for a firefight.
Why didn't they just make the land raider a little smaller? the scales were fine as they were, and now everything will be more expensive?

Hi!
There's no doubt the models would look gorgeous, look at some of the warmaster stuff, it would be the same scale.
The downside is that battles would look more like skirmishes than sweeping affairs.
There is already one 40k, we dont need a 10mm version of it.

6-7mm is fine ... "Come to your senses man!"  I hope the rumor of making Super Heavies, Thunderhawks, etc. even BIGGER is just musing ... "Someone Stop Him !"

On the contrary, that's just what we need: dump the 28mm version and make a 10mm version! That way even us "Spacially impaired" people could play...
