How to paint the base:
1. Paint base using dark sea grey
2. Black wash
3. Dry brush using wolf grey with a really big brush. (Looks like 1million brush strokes)
4. Use this great Slimy Grime Light effect paint to give it a slight green touch.
If you use a hair dryer to make the paint dry more quickly between the steps you are even faster.

Exceptional work here, nicely done Chaos! Only thing I could really nitpick is the ax handles are a little large, but I really like the axes so that is easily overlooked.
I like the second one better, but since you said fighter it doesn't seem to fit as well (do you really want hair getting in your eyes when trying to battle?) So I would have to say the 1st one
