What are your thoughts on basing this beast? I'm thinking small flying base using brass rod, if you agree a 1mm hole in the underside of the casting would really help.
I'm thinking the standard circular base on the underside of the tail. Many people are not gifted modelers - and wouldn't want to fiddle around with pin vices and brass rod.

Looks good
Could these come with around 3-4 separate ball and socket arms (perhaps designed so that any could go on either side) for the sake of variety? We'll likely be using them in units and it would be nice to get some variety in there, even if it makes no difference in game terms.
There will indeed be a number of ball and socket arms with different weapons, which can be glued to either side, so lots of variety.

My only significant concern is the Ghast Speeder bikers. You'll be making a few more poses /designs too surely? I base bikes 4 to a 20mm x 40mm base and would hope to have all different models on a base, like you have with all your infantry. 3 different ones should be a good minimum at least, as that's the most standard and common number for bikes to a base. Given that the bike is the main part of the design you could design some bikes with some variant designs on the cowling or positioning of the blades for variety. It'd make them more individual and personalised rather than production line sameness.
Its not a bad idea, but when it comes to things like bikes, where each rider is likely in the exact same pose, it hardly seems worth it. The front of the bike is a separate piece though, so maybe I can get some variation there...
