here it is and I think I'm much happier with the result although I could probably adjust it a tad more red.

While I agree a tad more red would be optimal, as it stands the contrast between the organic and mechanical areas is far better than it was. Lacquer and they're done I reckon

Thought about some further additions tonight but ended up deciding to call it quits for the time being on these guys. I may revisit them in the future and see about adding in some veins on the flesh and some mottling where it joins the metal bits. I've stuck it up on CMON and I hope they hit at least an 8, but who knows. Servitors don't seem to be received all that well there.
Vote flogging again, though I don't know if these are even going to end at anything above a 7.5. These sculpts aren't very well received over on CMON; from what I can tell only one other model has made it over an 8 without the techmarine present so a lower score isn't that surprising. Even some pretty good paint jobs seem to be in the low 7's.

You really should stop worrying about CMON scores. Much better opinions can be had from forums devoted solely to figure painting (Ozpainters comes to mind).
The mottling and veins would be a welcome addition, but ultimately that kind of super-detail is up to you. They certainly don't need it but from a painting skill perspective stuff like that is always good

yeah, yeah I really don't have a following to properly do CMON and I think I'd have to seriously farm myself out for commissions to get that kind of pull. I'm actually less concerned about scores than I am actually making it worth putting up on CMON since getting the required 50 votes is difficult. Since it only takes the top 5 to come up with your score, you can only really go up
I'll put the skin effects up there on my list of things to eventually revisit.
