So, I've been looking into adding units to my Tau army, and a Commander Farsight is definitely on my list. I think I would rather convert him than buy one new, though. So here's my question: is Farsight bigger than a normal Crisis suit, or is he about the same size with some added gubbins? If I can just add the shield and the Dawnblade I think I'd prefer to do that rather than spending fifty bucks on a single infantry model.

He's about the same size as the new Crisis Commander suit, whatever the new one is called, as far as I've heard. A slightly heightened crisis suit should work, though.
