Space marine face

Base coat the face with Cadian Fleshtone. Paint the eyes with White Scar and use a fineliner for the black dot. This is always the hardest part and is totally fine to do in steps. In the picture my first try.

I didn't like his right eye and did it over again. The left eye was ok but to big so I just used the Fleshtone to make the eye smaller.




I again use the fineliner to create the pupils. A bit bigger this time.


Again I used the Flashtone to make the eyes smaller. Still nog happy with the right eye, but the left eye looks great. I used Corax White to pand the teeth.

I repainted the right eye again. So after 3 tries I\`m happy with the result. Keep going back and fort with the skintone and the white and the fineliner.


Shade the face with Reikland Fleshshade.

Use waterdown brown colors to create even more shadows in the face. I used Rhinox Hide and Mournfang brown. Make a 1:1 mix of Khorne Red and Cadian Fleshtone and paint the bottom lip.

Final step we are going to give the mini a shaved head. Just make a 1:1 mix of Cadian Fleshtone and Dawn Stone. Then water it down en stipple this on the head were his hear should be.
