A Tyranid Dominatrix or Heirophant is about as natural as a Space Marine.

Still the 'nids.
I'm not sure about including the new TMCs, since I'm not familiar with them, but the Hive Tyrant is roughly twelve metres tall (fifteen for the 3e 'alien queen' version).
The Hive Tyrant is the only confirmed male Tyranid, although what exactly makes it male we're not sure.

Tyranids are Evolution In Action... you can watch them evolve, right before your very eyes (assuming that they haven not yet eaten those).

I don't know, but I do know that the taller candidate has won the US presidential election every single time save two.
So apparently Americans, at least, vastly overvalue height, especially in men.

Well, Elysians... I'd say their civilians are probably taller than the average Imperial due to good diet (Elysia being a very rich planet), while their soldiers are shorter than the average Elysian (because they're airborne calvalry).
All Catachans are exactly 1.75m tall.
Other than that, it's anyones guess.

Flats, but the Commissar boots were destroyed and she had to put on heels from a dead SoB power armor.

Catachans are taller than average. They're comparable in build to small Orks or short Marines.

Actually this begs the completely OT question, how tall are the tau fire caste. I always imagined them being just a few inches shorter than humans, like elves are portrayed (as in not the ones who are perfect, have completely white skin, and are always 6'6", but before that when they were best described as short magical humans with pointy ears. Continuing off that, how tall are the air caste (who are portrayed as much taller and skinnier because of the bear zero g that they live in).

John Rambo is only 5'10" tall... because Sly Stallone is 5'10".
Thus, the Army of Rambos are all sized like Rambo (allowing for some height variation because he was a bit shorter in his porno days as the Italian Stallion).

Then I guess Marines and Orks are roughly equivalent to Stallone in height, too, since Catachans are described as not that much smaller

At least taller than the SMs would be without enhancement during puberty.
