It may just be me, but I think the head is a little wierdly posed... it's almost turned too much. I could be wrong though, it's not easy to tell prom the pictures. Just as a general rule of thumb, if you're trying do a dramatic pose on a mini, try and pull off the pose yourself. You may look stupid, but you know that if you can't pull off the pose, it's unlikely a space marine in bulky armor can.

Also, I understand what modeling with pieces in varios states of painting can be like, but you may want to prime this guy ASAP before you show him off anymore... the wierd paint blotches are kind of distracting.

Other than that, though, not to bad.

Interesting use of the kasaro khan mini. Lookining at the mini from the front view it looks like the left arm holding the plasma pistol is pointing to far to the right. The left arm needs to be pointing more towards the left to be in line with the way the helm is looking. Other than that looking good brother.

moved the arm to be more in line with the head.

possibly thinking of moving sword arm to be pointing downward what do you guys think

Yeah, that would likely make him look a little less staged, a little more natural.

Maybe just move the arm down a bit, just above being parallel with the ground. It would keep the idea of this pose, but make a little more natural.

With the arm moved to the left the mini looks alot better. As to the arm being moved down from the front view its hard to tell. I like this much pose much better but hey thats just me. Just my two bolter rounds worth tho'.
