Looks rather plain TBH. Now, this doesn't mean its not a great platform to improve upon. It will look very cool if you work on it, and its a great start.
What colors are you currently using for this?
I would recommend doing some "edge highlighting", make the edges of the brass/gold shine. Tops of the rivets would use it as well. Also try drilling the extra barrels on the assault cannon, adds to the detail(this is a personal preference). The warheads on the missiles could use some color as well. Lots of minor details could use shading, and highlighting. Just my observations. Keep it up!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Looking at it again, maybe its just the picture, but it looks like you did some highlighting. I would try going a little bit brighter, more contrasting against the current color scheme.

It is a little plain, but i think fairly solid overall. I second the assault cannon barrels, black dots work too but personal preference is drill.
Not sure why, but I think he would be really good platform for some battle damage, some scuffs and scrapes. My own bronze guys are scraped down to a silver bare metal where they've been hit and damaged, but could be done with brighter gold and black too.

I'm in the "a bit plain" camp. I agree, the painting is a solid job, and it looks like you did edge high light. But it's a little monochrome. I would, if it were me, work in the Inquisitions colors, red and black, somewhere on the armor. Some prominent splashes of non-metallic color will actually make the metallics pop more. Also the cables running to/from the sarcophagus should be various non-metallic colors as well. I'm not a big stickler about drilling gun barrels, but I am about mold lines. They detract from a good paint job in a big way. File them off, and fill seams with liquid green stuff. It makes a huge difference.
