I'm usually not a big fan of the Mid-Nors, but I have to admit that you've found how to paint them. The sword is very nice but could have used a little bit more texturing on the blade to give it a worn out look. I'm very impressed by your treatement of the skin of his back. It gives off some kind of sickish-daemonic-rhinohide kind of render. The base is nice, but maybe a volcanic look would be more suitable. But please, do post more minis :).
