Honestly I think it has more to do with their painters can't paint a female face worth a shit(never have been able to),

Painting women is easy.
Painting attractive women is far harder.
I'd say you'd have to use a different highlighting process on the face, the standard "drybrush the raised surfaces" method will make their features look angular and bloke-ish, by emphasizing cheekbones and jaw and the various protruding bits.
Women's faces are softer and rounder than men's, and I'd go easy on the wash too, maybe use a lighter kind.

. . . . Not that I would be seen dead painting w*men

So Ive been working on NMM and edge highlighting. It still takes me forever, but Im needing to clean up lines much less than I used to. Theres a couple wonky ones on here, but Im still tinkering around with this model.

I think it looks great. Are you using a lupe?

Considering the size of the dreadnaught the knight will be huge by comparison.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen a Forge World titan in person, but I think it's around the height of a tabletop-scale Warlord Titan.

I just view it as them branching out for more merchandising deals and they happened to luck out with Joytoy's quality. Action figure collectors are whole different level of autism.

I'm thinking about them being a way to do big baller "Distinguished Service" statues of /mydudes/, which means I'm kind of glad they don't make a Pedro Kantor (yet), because I'd be tempted to get it and one of the Iron Hands guys to kitbash a Captain who soloed a Great Unclean One (before Iron Hands had rules to be OP with). Although that might be more appropriate for something that happened in a tournament rather than a casual game.

The stripes are fun when you get them right, but a pain in the ass to correct if you fuck up. Masking tape is your friend.

I also like how 10e has vague weapon descriptions such as "heavy melee weapon". It gives you more leeway for creative kitbashing without feeling like you're cheating. Hence the guy on the left with a Centurion siege drill grafted on Evil Dead style.

Like a tiny magnifying glass.

I have one of those reading lamp/magnifying glass combo things, but don't always use it. The more imperfections I see, the more I try to fix them, and then make it worse.

My models never look as clean as other people's, but they're nice enough for me. I also use gloss varnish. IMO it seals the paint job better, even if it makes them look wet.

Honestly I wish the game had more of that, and less 7 different weapon profiles that are barely different and take forever to roll(hooray, your cultist with a bat with a nail in it is so statically different than the cultist with a sharpened shovel, and the one with a lead pipe, and the one with a chain, and the one with a you get the idea). Because you're right, it does mean you can kitbash whatever the hell you want, which isn't exactly hard to do for SM/CSM in the first place.

Orks were my starting army. I learned that lesson the hard way. Gotta find that happy medium between consistency and variety.

Casandora yellow on a beige tan base makes for a better hazard stipe experience. Cleaning up tan stripes is less of a headache than trying to police up yellow, at least that's how I did my Iron Warriors.

I use Chaos Black primer, but then paint a titanium white or gray base over the portions that'll be yellow. I use Averland Sunset.

When I first read you use chaos black I genuinely thought you were going to follow up with typing you painted yellow immediately over it. Don't ever scare us like that again.
