What do you think of this conversion I did?

If you like it what legion of space marines should I go for?

Hmm. Termie arms... they look a little long and disproportionate, but space marines are disproportionate anyway.

The joins look okay, so it looks believable. Don't think this is quite blog material though...

Looks pretty cool, if the arms are just a bit long. Is he touching down from a jump or something?

I'd remove mould lines before doing anything at all. Looking at the rough surfaces I'd give him a light sanding as well.
It indeed looks as if he's slipping or maybe shot in the stomach or something, doesn't look good for him in any case.
Make a display out of it, ultra versus tyra, dark angel versus wolf or something similar.

In the last pic, it looks like he's lifting his foot to see if he's stepped in some chewing gum.

Ignore me, it's a nice conversion.

The terminator arms on a regular space marine look out of place.

Yea the arms are goofy looking on there. And the pose looks like its falling over. If the shoulder pads is what you were wanting, you should of cut the arms off, and filed out the shoulder pads. Ive seen that done a few times for veterans/sgts/the like and it looks really good everytime. I like the concept you were going with, you just need to try again I think.
