I like both, although yours is technically superior. The washed-out colors in the "before" picture combined with the snowy base give it a neat "walking through a blizzard" look. (I don't know if this was intentional or accidental.)
His Space Wolves were painted over a long period of time, with many different techniques and paint brands. This lead to them looking inconsistent. I'm doing a lot of work to make his army cohesive.
I get the appeal of desaturation, but I've found it tends to only work with very small groups for things like RPGs or for dioramas. For big wargame armies, I try to make figures pop to give them as much clarity as possible when there is a crowd.
