Look here for a size comparison with normal grunts:

Which unit type would this be - GRUNTZ with Assault Armour (say, six walkers to a squad), Specialists with Assault Armour (i.e. each walker on its own) or Mecha?

I would say Specialist but group them up into a unit say 3 to 5 in a squad

Don't put all your eggs in one Gruntz squad >

So, you think that a Specialist would do it?

I am using 3 TAC Walkers from AT-43, in Steelbaks Merc company. They are about the same size as the ones you have and I field them as individual anti-infantry Specialist Walkers.

I agree with the Specialist option, they are a little larger than standard assault type powered armour.

All right, specialists they are

Here is a comparison shot of the MANITOU with a 15mm.co.uk Post-Apocalyptic Survivor and a Kremlin Miniatures Commander:


It isn't THAT large (unless you count the antenna/flag-pole, that is), so I'm still undecided between Assault Infantry, Medium Specialists or Scout Mecha. What do you think after seeing this photo? Still a Specialist?

Also, I'd LOVE to see a detailed example of Assault Infantry vs. Medium Specialists vs. Scout Mecha; what is the difference between these categories in term of mini sizes?

[comstar]

Still go for a specialist

To big for PA for me and far to small as a walker!

[lordnth]

I would go with Specialist or Scout Mecha (very small scout Mecha). Do them both. Stating them up only takes a minute or two. Do both and see which stats you like better.

Lets see:

Medium Specialist:
Base Cost: Specialist (1)
Size: Medium (5)
Soak: 14
Guard: 12
Damage: 6
Shoot: Seasoned - 4 (2)
Assault: Seasoned - 4 (2)
Mental: Veteran - 7 (3)
Skill: Seasoned - 4 (3)
Mobility: Walk - 5 (1)
Primary Weapon: Autocannon - S. Heavy Projectile (5)
Close Combat Weapon: Power Fist (1)
Ability: None
Total Point Cost: 12

Scout Mecha:
Base Cost: Mecha (16)
Size: Scout (1)
Soak: 14
Guard: 14
Damage: 12
RAM: 7
Crew Skill: Seasoned - 4 (2)
Speed: 7
Primary Weapon: Autocannon - V. Medium Projectile (3)
Ability: None
Total Point Cost: 22

I'm leaning towards the Specialist as it looks more fitting and is cheaper (and less of a heavy vehicle).
