They do take me a while, but I love doing it :)

I'm interested by that base, what kit is it from?
I tend to make my own from corkboard: https://imgur.com/S8m98Mm
Made it myself, bought selection of bases from GW and put some corkboard on it, and some odds and ends I have from kits, I think the pieces on this base are from some chaos daemons kits - however I tend to model and 3D print some pieces too
Then I just painted it up, I spent a long time learning how to do lava a few years ago as I'd based all my Night Lords with lava bases
WELL! You make your own bases AND like Night Lords. Major +1 from me.
Lava is on my project list, ice, snow and water are my specialities
;) Shame Horus Heresy stuff is so scarce/expensive
Have you had any dealings with water effects using resin? I was thinking about getting into doing that for some Idoneth bases
Vallejo have a few good products. What helped mine look a little more real was adding a layer of watered down brown paints and grit then agitating it through with a stick. https://imgur.com/e3ZQdU5
It also helps make the citadel snow technical paint look a little more slushy when poured over it lightly: https://imgur.com/JK1vhU8
