instead of the support where its at maybe you could position a rock or something slating up from the base and under one of the front hooves. Not sure if that would unbalance it i dont know how heavy it is and how heavy the washers are.
As for armour if you bulk it out too much its going to become absolutely massive! cant wait to see it when its done!
Why not stick two supports to the front hooves instead, make to jets of lava from where he kicks off from the ground. Alternatively you could add a rock from the centre of the base. Make the bottom out of something heavy, then make the top - touching the front hooves - out of GS. Far from unbalancing the model, it would act as an additional anchor
I'm with snotling, I want to see the whole model ("everything" could be misinterpreted Snotling)
I was going to suggest a meaner brow, but one question - how detailed is the model itself - you dont want to be drybrushing the hair on the body only to discover its all disappeared under the undercoat
Also, think about how easy it will be to paint the fur around it once you have done the armour. Nothing is worse than completing a conversion only to have to take it apart as there is no way you cn paint certain areas
I know the one you mean, its very clear but I don't go on GW US very often so I don't know exactly where it is
When I do mine (assuming I dont buy the model off eBay). I'm planning for a great stag from the Woodies with either bloodthirster wings or balrog wings.
Man, thats amazing.
At first i was doubtful but now its crazy!
Looking foward to the painted pictures!
