Need some input

I've been working on this custom unit and I'm currently trying to texture it (check this post to see some more images of the model as well as some animations). I've been stumped on exactly what I'm going to make this model's skin look like so I made an experimental texture to test one idea. I'm thinking maybe cover him in hard looking deep blue scales that kind of look worn and a bit scratched. The results of this experiment are in the attachment. I only painted some test scales on his chest so you kind of have to picture him covered in scales. I'm curious of some other people's perspective on this idea, if its good or bad.

Thanks,
