I've been waiting to share this bad boy for a week now

He's worth the wait - he's stunning.  Great job!

BTW, any idea on how you'll do the base?

I'm thinking of doing a lava base with Mordant Earth, but with blue/green lava to match the flames on the wings. Waiting on my Mordant Earth to come in

I took that exact approach for Tzeentch demons and used moot green for the green “lava.” Not sure what color to recommend for you if you’re looking for blue-green, but I do recommend using a brighter color than you think you need. The moot green turned out very well. I also recommend putting PVA glue on the base before applying the mordant earth—it helps you get bigger cracks. 
 

Big bird is looking great!

I'm actually going to copy this painting guide, but instead of reds/oranges I was going to splotch both blues and greens. I think right now I'm thinking arhiman blue as the bottom layer, then splotches of temple guard blue and moot Green.

I found that after I did the bases on my first unit lol. The Citadel guides are really good—generally impressed with the team, even without Duncan. That approach will give you a great result.

 

I still recommend the PVA glue trick before applying the mordant earth, though.

I have almost a whole Tzeentch start collecting box already painted, so I'll experiement with those guys first and see how the mordant earth with PVA works out. Thanks for the suggestion

My basing is done! I went back and did the basing on my other Tzeentch demons, and a Mutalith vortex beast from my Thousand Sons

Horrors & Changecaster

Overall I'm mostly okay with the effect. It came out pretty good on the Mutalith and LoC but I dont think I got the cracks big enough for most of my smaller stuff. The PVA glue did help a ton, i saw the difference between the first two Pink Horrors I did
