28mm is 1:73
30mm (which more closely matches GW minis nowadays) is 1:61.
GW vehicles are roughly 1:48

Any way that you look at it, Armorcast wasn't far off with their scale.

As the only "official" Warlord was made by Armorcast, we can use that as a referance. It was 19 inches tall to its shoulders. A new Mark 3 Warlord would be about 22 inches tall.

Look at the picture in the Apocalypse book, it's significantly larger than 22 inches.

Yes but 1:73 != 1:61 != 1:48.
Thats why when people "true scale" marines they end up quite a bit larger. GW doesn't know what scale is, and to make the over sized hands and heads to scale with the body you need to lengthen the limbs and widen the torso (among other things).
If you look at a land raider there is no possible way a driver or gunner could fit in there (as the GW cut away drawings show).
