:) I bet everyone thought someone created one in epic size already... lol not quite.

Nothing epic really follow scale, but what do people think?

Same size as epic Stompa or Epic Scout Titan (Eldar or Imperial War Hound)?

Doing some calculation based on the 40K scale figure, I get that it should be around 1"-1.4" tall, but that seems big to me. I have been assuming something about the size of an Imperial Knight (i.e. on a 25mm base).

I was thinking of trying to do a conversion based off a 40K stealth suit, but then got pointed to some heavy gear blitz models that might work pretty well, but still not comfortable with the size issue.

here is an example from the Heavy Gear stuff. There are lots more potential Riptides on the site as well.

I think it should be like half between the Tau Suits and the Stompa. Or half a stompa even.

Double the height of a Crisis suit looks close enough to me given the comparison images I've seen.

This image of the comparative heights of the suits might help - http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... itch16.jpg

And Epic Crisis suits are what? 15mm tall? Making the Riptide about 30mm?

I think they're probably closer to 10mm, but the riptide is probably about 1.5 times the size so 25mm is probably close enough. I can check when I'm next sat in front of one...

Epic Battlesuit are 10mm hence 25 mm seems like a good starting point. Bit smaller than a Stompa.

From the looks of some images I've seen, is the head of the 40k Riptide the same as one from a Battlesuit?

Yes it is. Or at least that is what I have been told by people ho own one. I don't actually have a Riptide myself yet. But when it came out we were told the heads were interchangeable.

Theres a scale pic in the Tau book which might be worth looking for.

And over a month to make three more. The original has a larger body and shorter legs, so not sure what to do with that one.
