an ogryn in terminator armour? why not just call him a leman russ tank and be done with it :P

but what specifically do you mean by ogryn astartes? is that ogryns simply kitted out in astartes gear? - obviously made to measure gear :) or bio-engineered ogryns with progenoids, black carapace etc, as well as astartes gear?

either prospect is somewhat unsettling - aren't regular astartes big enough and kick-ass enough already :) and it's one thing for rebels to see such ogryns and think "freedom isn't worth it", but what if the rebels were ogryn astartes? - nork deddog killed an ork warboss once with nothing more than a headbutt! if they're bio-engineered ogryn astartes then their intelligence would take a massive leap, and given their size, toughness, and durability before being bio-engineered then rebel ogryn astartes would very likely be more than regular astartes could handle :P
