For those of you who saw it, I had a thread here (and other boards) asking for help on picking what kind of Space Marine I should be for an upcoming Tabletop game. With the help of the various comments I have, well, I have the basics. But here is an image. Tell me what you think and how I might be able to make it better.

Hm, what mod is that from?
And looks cool as it is, aside from the whole DoW army painter issues.

Multiple. The main body comes from a Space Wolves marine. The left arm comes from a Sergeant. Fur over shoulder and the chainmail come from a Chaos Lord. Legs and belt buckle come from a Force Commander. All of these from the standard game. The head I got from the Depth of Heresy: Cadian Gate mod. Which is a very good mod by the way.
Also if you're looking for the ability to see all of the characters in the Army Painter just download the Painter mod.

More hints on the character's nature would allow more specific suggestions, but all in all.. Sweet.

There's not much for history at the moment unfortunately, but here are some other things. He believes whole-heartedly in the Emperor and his Imperium. As such he almost willfully joins suicide missions that entail keeping the Imperium safe. His many battles have left him somewhat unhinged however and he occasionally hears faint voices that are not there. This is not too much of an issue but it is an annoyance. He is also colorblind (Totally, in typical Tabletop fashion). During his training and surgerys to become a Space Marine something went wrong with a majority of the organs and now he requires the suit to keep them functioning normally (Basically the points I'm getting don't allow me to have all the nice things a Space Marine should have so I'm doing this to reduce costs). He does not need the suit to live and it is possible with extensive surgeries that eventually all of his organs will begin working normally again, but this does mean that he is rarely seen out of his armor.
His name is Beowylf Greymane and he's a veteran of the Space Wolves and at one point in time commanded a group of Marines under himself. I am thinking that perhaps one of his missions went foul very fast and he lost a majority of his troops, as such he was removed from service to do penance and that is how he will meet the other characters. He is still well looked upon by the Space Wolves but he is not going to be given a command or be on the active roster for awhile. This is all tentative, basically what I need is an excuse to have my guy away from his squad for extended period of times with the ability to come back every once in a while. As my knowledge of WH40K is rather limited that's what I could come up with.

Updated image. Any thoughts?

Behold! A crapload of new images!
Now with backpack fixed and a gun (it's too small to be a storm bolter) attached to his arm.
Because a Space Wolf can never have enough weaponry on him.
Holy crap he doesn't have a helmet on!
