Here's my 30th Anniversary Space Marine, customized as Dark Angel of the Rogue Trader era.
Any tips?

The red could benefit from another highlight, towards orange.
The base could be contrasting to the dark model, to make it look more balanced and deeper.

Otherwise cool, I like the eyes and the metal parts.

Personally, I like the darker red; makes a nice change from the prevalence of orangey reds you tend to see in miniature painting.

Really like this guy overall; captures the feel of the guy on the old Rogue Trader book Chapters spread really nicely. Were I in the mood to be hyper-critical, I'd suggest maybe a few really fine, lighter highlights on the key bits of black armour, just to give it a bit more definition, but that's nitpicking really. (Plus, in my experience, highlights never pop as much in photos, so it could be this looks fine in the flesh.)

Thanks both of you for your comments.
I thought a lot about the highlights, and I decided not to do to much because I prefer a darker style. It's true that I should probably have defined a little more the black armour, but in the pictures it's not appreciated. I think the dry brushing is enough in this case, because I'm not sure about how it would look with more highlights, and it's a risk I didn't want to take xD
