Well painted but that green....damn. I love green, all kinds of green but that one is in my opinion to much, however like others have said it is your model.

It will certainly be eye-catching on the table

Here are some picks of the whole model.

I will be adding lightning to the green to defuse it a bit.

With that model I don't think diffusing the green will help. IMHO this is roughly what you should consider

I refuse. Nearly everyone at my FLGS uses purple power weapons. The goal is to draw peoples eyes and the green is a great focal point.

Mold lines should be cut off to make it smoother and more realistic. Also try darkening/highlighting on top of that green as it seems semi flat to me. It looks pretty solid though with covering.

Mold lines are my greatest issue but I was thinking of using the greed shade to darken the lower areas of the hammer

A Shame really purple would tie the dark blue and dark red together. The green to my eye is just TOO green and bilious. I'm not saying never use green...just maybe not that one. This guy has a green sword. Not a great view of the color so I went and snapped one in the case (the doors are blocked else I would take it out.)

Ok these turned out really big by not uploading to Dakka so I spoilered them.
Spoiler:


If you are pegged to green I'd suggest shading it down some. If not might I suggest Hawk Turquoise ( I'm not tracking the new GW colors)

Or Enchanted and Ice Blue?


Or even something with the same green but more subtle?

I was thinking of adding either a blue or red/orange lightning to diffuse the green. I am pretty sure it would work well.
