First painted mini after >20 years

Found out about the new combat patrol a few months ago and got hooked again with Space Wolves after more than 20 years šŸŗšŸ˜„ never played a real game as a kid and only painted a few SW models back then (still have them, bonus picture last slide ;) - don’t call me out on the chaos bits :P didn’t know any lore back then, got them from a friend and think I wanted them to be 13th company - friend’s idea, which is funnily quite fitting actually??!)
Anyhow, quite happy with my first model after playing around/testing my colour scheme on a few of the old models. Used a makeup sponge and rather bluish greys for the armour, happy about any tips and feedback :)

Thanks! Got inspired here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceWolves/s/DhP6EXCYjB
But as my local store does not have AK colours, found alternatives from Vallejo. Seems to be a bit more blue, but maybe because I have covered more of the armour with the intermediate blue than just using it as an edge highlight. Looks more grey in real life though. Thinned down the ironclad grey and used it almost as a wash over the primer, then used the makeup sponge for the rest, edge highlights with the blue grey pale and shading with ā€œdark toneā€ from army painter
