Hey, I hope this hasn't been posted a billion times before. I both searched and checked the gallery but no joy.

I was wondering what size the FoW armor was, for possible conversion into Grot Tanks. Would someone be willing to post a size reference, with a common 40m infantry model (like a marine, or a ork boy)? Bonus cool points if it's a actual gretchin.

I tried google but only found a fire warrior, which is not useful as I don't have any tau models (and it was a weird angle, anyway).

The only 40k minis I have sitting around are from 2nd ed. So attached should be a picture of some FoW M4 Sherman tanks next to a 2nd ed. grot, goff boy and a marine. I've also included a land raider to get a tank size comparison.

Personally, I don't think it would work.

Yeah, too small. Thanks for the size references guys.

Will look at some more cheap 1/72 kits - I got a 2 pack of 1/72 Jaguarundis, but wanted to mix it up.
