I wish my first minis had been that good.
I have one tip for you that will improve the look of your minis in general - use washes.

The eagle wings on the chest for instance - i really like the highlights, but it would have looked even better with a wash that sinks in to the cracices, adding some depth to the figure.

And i see you have used grey for highlighting the black armour. If you want to give the armour a more shiny look, go for thin white lines on the edges on the knee buckles, glovet etc. It gives a very shiny and polished look.

But remember - i'm no expert painter, just letting you know what works for me.

Keep painting!
