Does anyone know the dimensions (LxWxH) of the Eldar Wave Serpent and Falcon grav tank?

I'm looking for reasonably sized alternatives for my Craftworld meets Exodites army. Tamiya makes some nice dinosaur models and dioramas in 1/35 scale and I'd like to make sure their about the same size.

Besides the new Lizardmen models coming out, care to make any suggestions?

My wave serpent is bigger than your wave serpent.

It's not the size that... oh nevermind.

FALCON-
Approximately 6.25" long x 4.5' wide (at it's widest spot) x 2.5" tall with turret.
Additional measurements:
L- from the back of wings to the front of the model = 4.25"
W- from the very front, tip to tip = 1.5" , engine covering to engine covering = 3.5", crew compartment = 2.25"

WAVE SERPENT-
Approximately 7" long (7.5" if you include the front bit that goes between the tips) x 4.5' wide (at it's widest spot) x (just under) 2" tall with turret.
Additional measurements:
same as Falcon

Yeah, I set myself up for that one and Dakka did not disappoint!

Thanks Ghidorah, I was pretty sure that they were the about the same.

Any advice on models to use?

If you want to keep it GW tourney-official, fitting the new Stegadon out with large gliding wings would be humorous. If you're not going to move them fast, you could even do without the wings.

Otherwise, you probably want a large pterodactyl model and GS for hanger-on straps.

or if you could get like a manta style model?

and put it on a flying base.

and just for the record, i dont mean the tau super heavy

For the record, those measurments are for the tank hull/turret only. No flying stands, vanes, odds and ends were included.

My force will likely never see the light of official tournament play, but I guess you never know until you get out there, huh?

The Tamiya tricerotops and sterakosaurus (sp?) are the models I'm looking at right now, outfitted with 40k and fantasy bits. As far as counting as a fast skimmer, I'm banking on my opponents being fair sports. It's a huge, herd-animal-like dinosaur that can likely trample or climb about anything in it's path. I know the possibilities of TFG raining on my parade, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

The stegadon would be great, but I'm working on a budget and the Tamiyas are $15 to $20. I just hope that they're in scale with the wave serpent or the falcon...

I could help but lol at that.
I now wonder how many of us lurk dakka...

Ok, so I got the Tamiya Stegosaurus this week and the measurements are a bit off from the Falcon/Wave Serpent.

Here's what I ended up with:
Length: 8 inches
Height: 4 inches
Width: 2.5 inches

These measurements have been taken prior to assembly of the model and the height in particular will probably be closer to 5" once I get the back spines/plates on. I'm going to be kitbashing some plasticard and eldar bits to give it a more 40K feel, which should widen the model a bit, closer to the 4.5" of the Wave Serpent. It will probably play a dual role as either grav tank until I get other models to make the distinction.

The Stegosaurus and Tricerotops are size compared on the box of the model and the T-tops is a bit smaller. If I can get my hands on a few, I'll make them Falcons/Prisms.

If Ghidorah is still listening, or if anyone else has a the answer, what is the height of the Serpent and Falcon while on a tall flying stand with the turret? I imagine it adds about 1.5 inches...
