Does anyone know where to get infinity circuit decals that would be the appropriate size for wraithguard helms?

I've been using the smallest ones on the eldar transfer sheet for my wraithlords (circled in green below). Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything smaller that would work for wraithguard. They would have to be similar in scale to the aspect warrior runes on the transfer sheet (circled in red ).

Any ideas?

Free hand it or use a micron pen if a brush is too difficult

Text from the GW website:
'This multi-part plastic kit contains 135 components and an Aeldari Transfer Sheet with which to make five Aeldari Wraithguard or Wraithblades.'
Meaning that the transfer you want are out there. Check on bits sites.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

I'm trying to avoid this route if possible. Worst case scenario I'll buy some decal paper and print my own. But I'm wondering if GW or any third party transfers ever released infinity circuits runes at infantry scale.

As far as I know the wraithguard box set comes with the same eldar transfer sheet that's been around since the 90s, which is the one in my original post. It doesn't include infinity circuit runes small enough for wraithguard unfortunately :(

Has anyone ever come across that specific rune at infantry scale?

Yep, there is...one Eldar transfer sheet. Same one since the launch of the Falcon/Vyper back in 97 I think.

Darn. So all of those infinity circuits we see on wraithguard helms are freehanded then huh?

I believe so. I'll double check my wraithguard box up in the hobby room, but I don't recall seeing a different Eldar sheet since I've been playing. Maybe some Harlequin sheets have something?

The old sheet is small, the new one has more stuff and it's the one posted in OP. It's new because it has Crimson Hunter rune and more.

As for decals for wraithguard, GW uses big ones, both regular and spiky ones. It is obvious from photos.

This is an old sheet, no idea if they are still produced. But there are two infinity loops in both black and white near the middle of the sheet.

You might be able to steal the hat of the Saim-Hann snake and use that.

Yeah, the current sheet has a copyright 2013 statement on it, which ties in with having the Crimson Hunter runes.

I get the feeling from looking at it that the smallest set of infinity circuit decals are intended for wraithguard since they come in groups of 5 on the transfer sheet. They would fit on the heads, but would be quite large/chunky, and I get the impression you'd like a smaller, more subtle rune. In which case you'll probably not find any suitable official decals and need to freehand or print your own.

Oops, I made a dumb mistake here. Bellerophon nailed it.

There were just too many examples of perfectly crisp infinity rune wraithguard helms on the internet, so I got out the standard eldar decal sheet and one of my wraithguard and took a closer look at it. Wraithguard heads are a lot bigger than I thought. It looks like the smallest infinity runes on the sheet DO fit on the wraithguard head, even though they seem a little large. But comparing the scale of the rune with what I've seen online and with the official wraithguard photos on the GW website, it DOES look like they're using the same old eldar transfer sheet.

I think when I first saw the runes I assumed they wouldn't fit because I forgot how much bigger the new plastic wraithguard are compared to the old ones. I still have the old scale in my head. Doh!

Thanks for the responses guys. Problem solved.
