Hate painting faces. I'm terrible at it. I always try my best to get minis with full helmets though it's unavoidable sometimes. Could greenstuff some veils....

Oh yeah! I will also have a hard time doing that... which is why i will start painting the highelf army with "less faces", as in my Ice themed army people will be well-packed due to ice and snow! :wink:
...nevertheless, i will have to learn it one day, so from time to time i try my best.
One face i´m pretty proud of, is the one of Gorfan (captain of Lord Zhufor´s Bodyguard, a 40k model that i posted below), but it´s always easier to paint an ugly m*therf*cker like this or one of the countless daemons i did, than an elf, that has to be kinda beautiful... ](*,)

Yeah, that definitely is an issue with elves... It's a lot harder if everything has to be perfect and symetrical rather than messy.

sad but true, but once it´s done, it looks really epic and beautiful!
