Neither do they. You assume they're trying...they're not. If you look at the Space Marines, they have intentionally inflated armor size. The shoulder pads would serve no military purpose really, yet they still have them. Why? Because it cuts a more heroic image. It's gothic-style artwork, and the whole point of gothic is to be grandiose and over-exaggerated (i.e. - not realistic). It's really obvious that they're not trying to when you factor in buildings and vehicles, but from the screenshots you were presented I can see where you'd make that assumption.

The in-game characters are based on the table-top models, and they're the spitting image of the that artwork. For RTS standards especially, the graphics are solidly in the "good" category just like WoW's are for MMOs.
