New to the Legion

Hello Brothers. I am somewhat new to 40k in general, and I haven't obtained any minis thus far. I have collected some of the JoyToy figures, and I'd like to show off my Contekar Dissident. Set simply in a default pose, I took these pictures to show off the additional lightning bolts that I've painted on. I am looking for your opinions, and critique.

I am not new to model building as a whole, having built things like warships and tanks. But this is the first time I've ever really done anything to a figure. Once I do get the confidence and space, the Night Lords are one of the factions that I plan to collect.
