He has an amazing talent for overcoming gravity, I'll give him that...
Personally, I am a fan of the old-school shoulderpad.

do you load the pics from your cam via a card or chip? if so you can allways view the pics 1st then rotate them before saving them.

Also, three pics would suffice, one of each view, only the ones in focus - don't just post them all.

Nice mini though, I like the old style studded pad too.
Maybe try modeling a few wires or something between the axe and pistol - at the moment it just looks like what it is (a plas pistol glued onto an axe) rather than a cool combi power weapon

The pics aren't great, as has been said already, but the stand-out thing is that it looks like he has a butcher's apron on...

I likes the paintjob, nice and clean with some good detail and highlighting in
Studded shoulderpad is good to see some variation in space marines

Not too sure about the bloody apron myself, doesnt seem much of a marine thing to do
Some cut down paper clips or maybe even abit of actual small wire would do fine for say a power line on the axe/plasma pistol

maybe abit of a gryphonne sepia wash or a brown wash around the foot area could give the model a look of not having cleaned the armour in a while....thought arent marines like...pretty religious about their armour

Clean 24/7 unless fighting or something

One wash og gryphonne sepia or many ?

trial and error really, I mean sepia is a pretty light brown wash so over green may not show up with the one wash

or could go with a darker (devlan mud, badab black) and use the one wash
