So I saw this model at GWs website and knew i had to have it. well now i do and this is what if became. Unfortunately his right horn piece was bent to oblivion and with some bending got it to look better.
front

better view of chest

With the thinnest line of orange on the very sharp edges of his armor, I think it will look fantastic, but it is off to a great start.

Try bleached bone for the skulls, it'll look better

Maybe throw in a little (more?) black wash on the chainmail to fill in the gaps. Need to lighten up the skulls a little. Maybe use bleached bone and skull white on the edges. It'll make it look more realistic.

That looks alright. I always think that model looks better as a champion than a full-on lord though. The above advice is very good, but you also should work on lighting for your photography. Two desklamps and a big piece of white paper are a poor man's lightbox, and will make your minis look 10 times better when they're photographed.

He looks good already, udging by the quality of the brass lining, you definetly have the skill to make him look a lot better. Go back over with more details and highlights, take your time. You definetly have the skill, just a bit of patience can take this guy from tabletop quality to something great.

One of my favorite schemes I've ever seen for those guys actually ran a very, very thin line of various colors around the shield and armor edges to denote various units. So a unit of berserkers would have a slight blue line all around their armor bits, another unit would have a slight line of orange, or yellow etc. Very bright color edging looked absolutely fantastic.

When he told me about it, I was like "Here's a repaint waiting to happen..." but in the end I loved it, and it was so simple! Made his army unique from every other Khorne force out there! Wish I had a picture of the technique... sometimes ultra contrasting colors work, contrary to conventional painting advice.
