They'ld be way out of scale. 28mm is closer to 1/60, or depending on their real size, up to 1/50 or so, but never 1/32. |

Hi Forse Sarge 1.48th would be even too big for 28mm, but it does not look that bad with the figures. 1.32nd is way out, Sorry Paul |

The old Operation Warboard set used to encourage using HO 1/87 scale vehicles with 25mm figures. I personally use a mixture of cheap Hot Wheels type vehicles and a few prized Roco ones. The scales don't really match, as the toy cars tend to vary between 1/64 and 1/100, but for my own purposes it's plenty of transport for cheap. While they're small for scale where the others are large, I find it allows the use of more vehices in a small space which suits my available play area. |

None of this applies if you are a WH40K player. If that is the case, you will already instinctively know that a jeep is the size of a house, and a tank is a shade smaller than a shopping mall. I'd go with GI Joe stuff, actually :) |

Is it okay?
NO. The Wargame Scale Police will torch your house and destroy your life if you do it! Or, it's your game, do whatever you think looks good.
If you're asking would they look right, I'd go with no. They are too big. |

I'd go with GI Joe stuff, actually :) The old MOBAT looks awesome as a 40K-style superheavy.  In all seriousness, 1/32 will seem way, way outscale for 'real world' vehicles. 1/48 is about as big as you might want to get. There's also a growing number of quality 1/56 vehicles out there. |
