I'm wondering if anyone knows of a relatively easy method of adding natural mass to models. Specifically Chaos Terminators. I want my Lords to be a bit bigger than the regular guys, but my skill with green stuff is les than spectacular.
Any advice?

Another option is to use something like scribo or other 3rd party stuff if possible.
Some have True scale marines which are bigger and bulkyer.
Otherwise try adding a little bit of plastic card to the torso helps out a LOT and try to reposition the legs so that he is standing up straight. it will make him look taller. And if the GS work to make it look like armor is too much you can always give him a tabard or skirt or mask it as much as possible with other grubbens like chains and skulls.
Cloaks can also make him look a bit bigger
Final option is to pick up a HH character in terminator armor and convert off that.

Do a Google search on 'true scale terminator' - some of their techniques are also useful for generally 'biggerising' normal models into character models. (But other techniques would be complete overkill for what you need.)
In your case, as you just want a slightly taller termy, you probably want to keep things simple - e.g. add plasticard discs at the waist and maybe knees (and shoulders if you want to make him wider), and also put him on a slightly raised base. As you're chaos, you don't need to worry about distorted proportions too much - that's chaotic mutation for you

They must be extra chaos terminators.
An actual way to do it would be to give him a tall base. Make that stand taller then the other termies, and it might look more, well, lordly. Like he above the other termies, but that might not work for you

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard. |

Use primarch figs? I converted a Horus into a suitably large Logan Grimnar to accompany my truescale guys.

I think a large base would work, almost like a slanted rock, Sorta like the horus model, the plasticard is also a great option. Green stuff is a little bit over kill IMO, as its a lot of work for it to look really good. Cloaks, and lots of skulls, chains, and other accessories make him look a lot bigger

Dont go toooo overboard with the base though.
Nothing gaudier and attention pulling away from the model than a very overloaded base.

I did a few relatively simple modification to the standard terminator kits that I think add a bit more weight to the models. I was aiming for Terran Marines from Starcraft, which gavbe me a template, but adding some GS to the thighs and the top of the carapace are relatively simple things to do. I would recommend getting some colour shaper tools to work the GS with.

Dreadnought shin guards as shoulder pads. Especially those from the venerable dread kit.
