Basically I'm just wondering about how tall ctan shards are (both the actual body height and total model height) , what shards are in the lore other than the dragon, receiver, night, or outsider. The plan is to make my own just for fun to use with close friends.

Those 4 shards are all that are left of the C'tan.

The Deceiver tricked the outsider into EATING most of them - and the Outsider went mad as a result.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

The ctan in their natural state were huge beings that lived in stars, the size of the body we usually see is the "necrodermis" that was made by the necrons for them.

So, basically, I could see them being a variety of sizes depending on what you want.

Regarding the models,
Deceiver model overall height: 3.75:
(includes base)
Deceiver model body height: 2.25"

Nightbringer overall height: 4.25"
(includes base)
Nightbringer body height: 2.5"

The nightbringer body is somewhat of an estimate, as you cannot clearly see where the feet ends).

Fluff wise, in my games....the deceiver was never sharded...who do you think orchestrated the sharding of the others....
(the whole "shard" thing was poor writing justification for why a ctan would not be a super heavy titan class being in a normal game....but that is another topic).
