I put this in the painting and modeling forum and figured it actually belonged here.

I've been forging ahead with my eldar 2k army that I'm trying to complete so I can stop having so much guilt over it sitting around. I've got a theme and some conversions and blah blah blah, that's not important. What is important is that I am attempting to use WFB wood elf dryads as the base model for my wraithguard. I have done some conversion work, but just realized that I don't know if the dimensions are exact.

So my question is: Does anyone have a comparison picture of a wraithguard model next to a dryad? I want to know if the dryad will be tall and big enough to pass for WYSIWYG in tournaments.
If I need to add asome extra height using a the base, that won't be a problem. A picture would really let me see what I'd need to work towards. Any quality will do.
If anyone has the models in front of them, and wouldn't mind measuring the height and width (shoulder to shoulder) and posting it here, that'd be great.

Please help!
Thanks in advance

PS: I know this is getting greedy, but if you have a pic of a wraithlord and WFB treeman (new) next to each other, that'd help for height comparisons too.

I have some Dryads on the sprue at home, but a Wraithguard fully assembled is considerably bulkier and taller than a Dryad and quite a bit smaller than a Treeman. The Wraithguard's weapon is probably 50-60% the size of a Dryad by itself.

Well with a google search, I came up with a link from right here on Dakka. http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/albinoork%27s%20Exodite%20army

Honestly I think that the dryads would work for the models, so long as you allow los to be drawn to the twigs on the bag. By doing that you have achieved roughly wraithguard size.

I saw that link, but it is for a fluff based army from a guy who said he wasn't planning on using the army competitively so I can't imagine he was too worried about it being the same size for true LOS.

I'm a numbers guy though, so eyeballing it is good and all but I'd like to get a number comparison. I've got dryads at my apartment, so when I get back later today I'll post up the measurements of them. If someone could measure their wraithguard models for me, that'd be very useful. I'd rather not have to spend 15 bucks just to remove it from the package and measure it.

I dont think anyone will give you a hard time about it.

OK so the average total height of a dryad is 2" (inches) from their feet to the top of the back spine branches. It's 1.5" from their feet to the tops of their heads.

Anyone have a quick measurement of wraithguard?
Please?
