Here are two 54mm Heads (The same scale as Inquisitor models) from Verlinden pack 1598 (courtesy of Historex-Agents ) Over the next few photographs I am going to demonstrate how the expressions of the faces can be painted to (I hope ) their best advantage. Both of these heads have been given a brushed on prime coat of Citadel Scorched Brown. Head A has a rather dour expression while head B has a completely stupid grin on his face. (And it does remind me all to well of one of my former scouts!).
HEAD A	All the paints used in this demonstration were from Games Workshops Citadel colour range. Firstly the eyes were painted in with an off white colour and any over painting tidied up.
	Then the face was given a basecoat of thinned Citadel Tanned Flesh. (In fact twice for coverage).
	A first coat of mixed Tanned Flesh and Dwarf Flesh was applied to most of the face omitting the heavy creases around the mouth and eyebrows.
	Gradually adding more Dwarf Flesh the Cheekbones, forehead upper lips and chin had the colour lightened.
	At this stage pure Dwarf flesh was painted over the Cheekbones, Forehead, Nose, Upper lips and the Chin. The Ridges around the Crows feet were also picked up with this layer of paint.
	At this point it was necessary to enhance the shadows of the face and this was done with a mix of Tanned Flesh and Dark Flesh (2:1 ratio) thinned to a very fine wash. This was applied to the indented creases above the mouth, at the corners of the mouth, the crease below the nostrils, the crows’ feet and the creases of the top eyelid as well as to suggest the hollows of the cheeks.
	Dwarf flesh was then thinned to a wash and used to tone down the depth of the shadows around the mouth and below the eyes.
	Dwarf Flesh mixed with a small amount of Elf Flesh was thinned and used to highlight the Forehead ridge, above the eyebrows, the Ridges of the crows feet, the top of the cheek bones, the raised sections of the creases above the mouth, the Upper lips and the Chin.
	More Elf Flesh was added to the mix and again smaller highlights were added to the same areas and including the tip of the Nose and wings of the Nostrils.
	Elf Flesh on it’s own was used, as again smaller highlights were applied to the same areas.
	Thinned Elf Flesh and Pallid Flesh were mixed and used to add even smaller highlights to the same areas.
	A final thin highlight of Pallid Flesh was applied, to the Tip of the Nose, Wings of the nostrils, Crows feet, Upper lip edges and the top of the chin.
	The final touches for the faces were to paint the bottom lip with Tanned Flesh and put in the pupils. Tanned Flesh was used to define the bottom lip, as this is a close to reality as can be done to match the face. (What I didn’t want was to go too red and make the face look it was wearing lipstick.) A coat of Matt Varnish was painted on to give a little protection.
