not a great picture

Well, its a good start. Can't easily tell much about the body armor w/ just a frontal shot w/ a rifle held across the chest. My suggestion would be to clean up your colors a bit (I realize it's a test mini). Also, think about your army's background a bit, how they fight, who they fight, where they fight, what kind of world they're based on & that will usually give alot of help to color schemes.

For example, my drop troops home world is kind of a barren wasteland since it's a hive world so lots of neutral greys & tans come into play on them, including various different colors & combinations for different types of squad that do different jobs.
