Drill the bolter barrel.
The seam on the jump pack is ugly, fill it with some green stuff next time around (liquid of regular will work)
Colors are a bit flat; some highlighting/shadows would really help out.
Try some hazard stripes on the chainsword, they tend to look cool.
Paint the inside of the jump pack jets. Read this; it's easy to do and looks awesome.
Not really feeling the black boots, but if you are sold on them, give them a grey highlight to some added definition.
Chapter symbol and squad markings?

Personally, I would paint them the same color as the rest of the armor. Again, that is just what I like; keep them black if you like them, don't change it because some random dude on the internet didn't like them.

Personally I like the boots, it gives a great contrast to the rest of the armour. But yeah highlight that baby up, rather then adding white to the red add bone as it keeps the same hue rather then going a pinky colour. If you can get a hold of January edition of white dwarf they have a great tutorial on dark angels, you can transfer the concept to reds and nail the highlights properly.

Looking good so far. Repost when youre done i want to see the goods lol.Good luck dude.

Spend some time on they eyes, yes they can be the most frustrating part but some basic lens work will do wonders for the helmet. I dig the boots as well.

Everything else mention I tend to agree with.

I like the boots also, as it does contrast.

And the first point of drilling the bolter. It is amazing how much better it makes the model look.
