For a first mini thats pretty good going. I know the Wyrd minis can be daunting at times with how much fine detail they have but I think you have pulled off a pretty good result

Not a bad start. And it's not a broken blade, it's a custom mini now.

Drybrushing is for some complex detail like multiple tiny leather straps or chainmail. You want to blend folds of clothing. If you aren't good at blending at the monent then don't worry about it and just come back to it.

I'm not much of a painter, but I'll continue with the "nice start" vibe. I think it looks pretty good and i would be happy to hit that standard with my own painting.
One thing you might want to work on for this model is to finish up the base (put the tab all the way in the slot, add grass or other details, etc...). Some sort of basing will typically make the model as a whole look better.
It looks like the base tab on this model is too tight to fit in the slot properly, so you'll want to file the tab thinner or file the slot wider. Another option is to cut the tab off and glue or pin the model directly to the base (or any base insert that you might use).
Anyway, nice start.
(oh yeah, nice custom fig too

I'll second the base thing. Sometimes a little time on the base can improve the look of the entire model dramatically.
Good work for a first attempt.

As a new painter I highly recommend some painting tutorials/DVDs, a gamer in my group was a pretty bad painter, but afterwards his technique moved in leaps and bounds.

Keep your paints thinned down with water when you are applying them. Several layers may be required but will not clog up details like thick layers of paint.

Most paint is thin enough for a beginner level, you only need to start thinning when you are doing multiple layers of highlights.
