This has come on in leaps and bounds! Good stuff! I'll address your points;
1/ The blood on the base you could do running down the corner maybe? Dripping down the stairs in a sort of cascade effect with a few smeared splotches here and there...or a boot print. Too much blood would ruin it though
2/ The battle damage is nicely done, but you have tooo much damage on it. I've found the "less is more" approach works best with battle damage. Need to remember this helm is also a revered artifact passed on from the primarch himself (must've had a pin head, but nevermind), I doubt they'd let it fall into a terrible state of disrepair so stick to field damage. As it stands , it looks like someone slapped him about with a maul while he just stood there blubbing and took it =P.
3/ By the "plastic bit" you mean the chipped concrete? I say keep it, it adds a nice bit of contrast to the cleaner base and it's really well done. Work on the Metal anchory bits though, the strips seem too uniform, maybe try and add stuff to them to make them look like clamps or something and you're all set!
All in all, it's coming along nicely, i'd work on the sword blade on the chapter symbol a bit more. Bit more light to dark contrast I think, it doesn't seem to pop as much as it really should beside the nice bone wings. Look forward to an update!
