Just remaking this one to see what progress I've made.
right now just messing with values and design later I will make sure the anatomy and proportions are correct right now they aren't.
If you have any suggestions or critique. Post it here :)

Daaarn that looks great!
working on the issue!
Not great yet, and the shading is half done. In fact I probably will need too google some reference. But your edit is a great guide, thank you!
Will do a more complete version quite soon :)

This is better ! Don't forget to think about the pose and the impression it gives. Here's a part of Arne's great tutorial about mostly everything, this section talks about pose

I think your pose needs to have strong lines, like in the image above. It will help showing how solid and strong and solid this knight is cause for now it looks quite unbalanced.

Also, here's a link to the complete tutorial if you didn't get the chance to see it yet, very full of useful informations and examples

In this you will also find some examples of rendering metal and reflections.
