This looks like it would make an amazing as an Imperial Guard heavy weapon but it seems to big at 35mm tall anyone actually have one?

35mm is about 7-5 mms taller than GW. It's also tall enough to notice the difference. She might fit in as a very human, very thin Ogryn.

Your average Cadian is 31mm tall; Kara really doesn't stand out much. Might be able to grab some pictures later.

Eldar Guardians are 32mm tall, so I don't think there's that much difference really.

Here you go. She's about the same size as a guardsman really, except without the stupid stubby legs.

Looks a little tall but i think the fact she's far more animated looking than the 2 troopers stands out more

shes fairly hunched over, as you would expect carrying a support weapon like that, and still looks big.

Next to a marine model I would expect her to look even more out of place.


Still a nice mini though.

Slap some Cadians on some suitably heroic rocky outcropping type bases and you'll be good to go!

If you could take out a section of the legs it would look better but otherwise it just looks too tall even while hunched.

Nice model if a bit out of scale ...

What if, depending on how you based the rest of your army, you simply cut her legs down to make it look like she's rising out of some water ??

Not every model needs to be the same height.

Some people are short some are tall, some are extreme examples of both ends of that scale.

Her hands/head/etc. are not out of scale she just looks tall.

Write up a fluff piece that she is from a planet of Amazonian women or something...

Say she comes from a planet with lower gravity and is hence taller and thinner.
