I love everything exept the sword ,
I think you mistook the germanic evolution of the spathae for the greek evolution or rather a celtic variant , ofcourse anglo saxons living so close to celts wouldn't make that unheard of ,
germanic swords were long whereas celtic hallstat models and southern ones were quite short
and the guard really reminds me of a southern or celtic model.
ofcourse I don't just criticise to be an asshole so i'll back it up 
- celtic model and the mediteranian variants to these :

I love the attention to detail, especially on his face. Everything else is excellent too, to the details of his clothing to the proportions.
An excellent tribute to the people that history doesn't ascribe enough credit to

Nice piece. You should do some Romano-British or early Saxon stuff too.
