Yes it was made for the 2008 UK GD. It's cool but way out of scale, that could barely fit 2 Space Marines in, let alone 10.

To be fair, I doubt that the actual mini is large enough for ten Marines, not to mention crew on top

I remember seeing that quite some time ago, but I hadn't seen it in action, so thanks for the clip. It works pretty well Though before you all complain about the scale, you don't even know how much room is in the interior or how the Space Marines would scale in comparison, plus the extra space that would be freed with futuristic engines etc. But I think it's GW's scale that throws it out. To realistically fit the proper passengers in, the Rhino itself would have to be monstrous if you kept the proportions the same.

You mention 'futuristic engines' reducing space, but without knowing what those engines are like, you can't make that claim for definate - for all we know they take up more room (especially with the space for a tech priest/tech marine to stand around chanting and throwing blessed oil )
As for space marine size, they're supposed to be fairly big - anywhere between 7 and 9 feet tends to be the common guess, and that's without armour. They're almost cirtainly broader accross the shoulders than any bodybuilder alive today, and those shoulder pads must make them even broader.

i think they are atleast 6" other wise they would be "too short for a space marine" *i need a life* they would also be large build and that armour too so i would say the same size as Swarsinager(Arnny, The Terminator) *Dam these jokes are just too easy*. But i woiuld think they wopuld be the same size as him(Including armour.
