Pretty similar I reckon, but I expect a SM would be even larger (particularly height-wise) too.

Space Marines are about nine feet tall so unless that lady is very tall he is too short.

Yep. Agreed. Build-wise however, I think he's almost there, although judging from their armour, Space Marines have a flatter stomach. But that's something he can't help without fictional enhancements.

Wait... 9 feet?! are you sure? I mean, is that a Grey Knight you're referring to or a normal Space Marine?

I recall reading that a Space Marine is ~3m tall, so yeah that sounds right.

Why, are GKs supposed to be taller?

Yeah, I've heard that Grey Knights are AT LEAST 10ft tall? Maybe she's a female marine and he's a Grey Knight?

Judging by the ankle to knee proportions on the female in the picture and then knee to hip and the dog near her, I'm going to guess she is about 5'2". And even though Mr. Marine is a stride or so ahead of her I will guess he is about 6'3"-6'4". So keep the build and add 2-3 feet in height, bingo.
