    Preyty sure the Wraiths are on 28mm bases.
    As far as the Stalker looking boring, it's midway between Necron mechanical insect and Necron vehicle, so I guess it's fine.

    They look like 40s to me.

    Absolutely terrible.

    Edit:
    I just looked at it again. I knew I shouldn't have. The driver, when taken in the torpid context of the entire model, is well past robotic calm and appears to be bored to tears. Perhaps he is browsing his favorite online catalog.
    Really

    Are we looking at the same model now?

    They would be on 40mm bases, otherwise they are going to be tiny. Pick up a 25mm base and imagine all that detail... no way is it anything but 40mm.

    I am more curious about the Stalker and if it has a base. I am not sure if I want it to have a base or not...

    looks like 40mm bases to me as well.
    However, I'm a bit surprised they put the spyder on what looks to me like the small flying base. Not really convenient to measure distances.

    I didn't even notice the bases of the Spyders. I had picked out some awesome 60mm bases awhile ago that I was going to use... looks like that won't happen.

    They are 40mm bases. There is a picture of three of them among some scarab swarms and they have the same size bases. The Wraiths are also much taller than the old metal ones. Going by the picture, I'd say about 1.5 to 2 times the height.

    Easy. Take off the two pairs of small legs, mount the body on a set of legs from a SM dreadnought, make the front legs into claws, put an ork in the driver seat, add in another two CCWs or shooty weapons and you have a nice DeffDred.
    Theheat ray gun would also make a nice Shokk Attack gun for a big mek. It doesn't look identical, but it does look close.

    Damn these are all nice. I already have a unit of Wraiths painted and will stick with those, but will definitely upgrade to the new Spyders!
