NMM Dark Eldar leg armor any advice on improvements

I tried to follow this guide http://tutofig.com/2014/01/non-metallic-metal-o-nmm-tutorial/
but i don´t know if i got the nmm feel just yet, any advice on possible improvements??

I think you have the reflections right and good contrast (especially in the last shot above). At a distance it looks really good.

By way of constructive criticism, I would suggest smoothing out the blends from light to dark a little more (up close the transition looks very sudden and you can easily see the different colour variations). The sides of the thigh armour also look a little too black compared to the lower leg armour at the same angle. Maybe carry the thigh colour closer to the edge?

Definitely a sound effort though and I think your execution is far beyond my abilities!

More transition to black areas. To much black ruins it.
Very good from behind.
