Alright, so I'm very new to painting miniatures of any kind, so I wanted some feedback on one of my models. Here's one of my Chaos Terminators! Ignore the missing shoulderpad, I forgot to put it on... >.<

The dirty chainsword looks very, very cool. Whole model I like, but that part especially jumped out at me.

Thank you! That was one of the things I wanted to get confirmed actually. I wasn't sure if it was too gritty. I'm going for a very dark and sorta realistic feel. When I picture IW I see them as old warriors who were driven to chaos through shame of what they did to their home world, Olympia. I wanted to reflect that with all the grittyness and rust. I also try to stay away from mutations and stuff because I don't think it fits in with the IW lore.
