Lictor i did some time ago. Im painting for about 3 years and this was done about 1.5. Still like the way the claws turned out. Its my army standard painting and nothing special. Leave comments please because that is why i show this mini to you.
I can't see too well from this picture, but I feel your fading effect is not subtle enuff. Try using a much more dryer brush, it kills the brush but then again the brush is not your concern.
I think for a standard army scheme its not striking or contrasting. The colors seem to mellow and blend your mini making it one really 'cold' lictor.
