[Archive] K'daai fireborn size

Vex:

Hey does anyone know what size the K’daai fireborn are? Compared to say a chaos warrior and a Tyranid warrior? I’m consider kit bashing/converting/hellsmithing (what ever term you prefer) my own. However I’m not sure on their height ect, I know they’re on the 40mm base But I’m tossing between using the Skullcrusher knights torso as a starting point for them (the juggernauts will be converted to BC’s) or if they’re too small I’ll be using Tyranid warriors.

Thanks

Sorry if this is in the wrong section btw.

Thanks, so should the Skullcrusher knights be big enough? (I'm only talking about the metal body/armour the flames i'll have to sculpt myself)

Dînadan:

It should be - going by that pic, the K’daai’s breastplate is roughly the same size as the fleeing guy’s torso, which is probably slightly smaller than a Chaos Warrior’s. Only thing that might not work is that the arms might be too short.

A knife, copper wire and some greenstuff takes care of that.
My plan was/is:
Take the SC knight torso and head
cut the fore arms and extend them with wire
drill a hole in the base and bottom of the torso of the knight to hold the wire (this will be the frame for the "fire legs/skirt")
Green stuff the wire areas
Green stuff again with fire details
then add the chains and other decor to the armour

If the knights where too small then I would have swapped the knights torso with that of the Tyranid warriors and use Defiler heads, the rest would have been the same.

Anyway I'll make sure to upload the WIP's when I get started :)
Thanks a bunch guys.
