Do you guys know of any mechs that work with warhammer 40k use that are tal enough to look as if a space marine could fit within it.

You talking Battletech/macross/robotech style?

You're looking at AT LEAST the 1/72 scale ones that can still be found around the traps and on ebay.

Yes, I know, 1/72 is closer to 20mm scale, but the pilot doesn't have to be in the head (in an armoured torso makes much more sense).

I used to have a 1/72 scale Rifleman and Warhammer, for example back in the RT days and we'd use them as essentially "mechs".

Yeah thats the style i mean do you know where else i can get them

You might find some on Hobby Link Japan.

That or Ebay...also prepare for some price shock, as many of these models as OOP and can be very expensive.

Example, I have an Officers Battlepod AKA the Marauder in Battletech...its a 1:72 scale model, around 8 or so inches tall...it was around $75 USD IIRC.

AT 43 has alot of mechs as does Robogear. Both of which are near in scale to GW and available online at places like ebay.

If you can find the "Gasaraki" Mecha, they are technically a larger scale than GW, but look pretty cool.
Here's one I painted up next to a figure that's a bit smaller than a space marine.

I really like at 43 and dust tactics mechs i cant use robogear because i am using the mechs for a custom 40k lizardmen army i am doing so i cant have the drivers seen

You can easily glue pieces of blister pack behind the windows and paint them or switch out the drivers in robogear models.

The T-Rex robogear model might fit the visuals of a lizardman army well and comes with both solid and segmented canopies.
