I've just stumbled on these 54mm figures from Consortium Tech (http://www.consortium-univers.com/site/index_eng.html):

Their range is primarily 35mm, but these look pretty nice for some alien characters
35mm? Craaaaap =( you totally got me excited at having suitable looking base figures for my dream Praetorian conversion. And leaving mentioning of scale until the very end of the post was just plain mean :'(

Primarily. These are big models within their range. The first is about 55mm tall. The other two, 80mm - at eight and a bit feet, that's perhaps slightly short for an Ogryn, but I could see it.
im thinking some mechanicus vat grown monstrosity due to all the pipes and cables

That's what my thinking was looking at them as well.

....I'm an idiot.
I totally missed the little scale-reference-sillouhette in the background /facepalm.
I've always been fond of the 'vat grown monstrosity' origin point of a Praetorian servitor. So it's looking like these might be perfect after all ;D
I'm thinking those 80mm beauties would be great for the basis of my Skitarii Praetorians!
It's a plus that they are resin!
Bile's New Men is what I'm thinking... :D Damn, keep wanting to spend money...
