You know, the painting style reminded me of how Romans and other old civilizations painted their statues back then and only now did smart people analyse the faint paint that survived years of ultraviolet bleaching and recreate what the statues really look liked.

The black skin on this model looks really good, what did you use to paint him?
Believe it or not, it's base coated with an ancient Ral Partha Dark Brown, highlighted with cheap-rear end brown craft paint, and given just a little extra highlight with a super-thin glaze of Vallejo...Flat Earth maybe?

Vallejo Black-Brown could be substituted for the base coat, it's similar enough that I think it would give nearly identical results.

I think it was kind of an unspoken thing that given the massive changes in race, colour and pigment in the last mere 2,000 years, it's not unreasonable that we'd all have just have melanin drained from our bodies by the year 40,000.

I've read futurists suggesting that in 2000 years globalisation will result in us all just looking Tan anyway. All racial features will be mixed so much so as to be unrecognisable, and we will look back to the current era and puzzle what it must have been like to live with the concept of different 'races'.

Assuming we don't nuke ourselves to death by then, and survive global warming etc etc.

Genetics don't actually work that way. What you'd end up with isn't an "averaging out" of those features, but those features being spread out through the population. So yeah, you'd have a lot of brown people, but you'd still have people both much darker and much lighter than that as well. You'd also get green eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes pretty much with any combination of skin color. You'd have all of the racial features, but they wouldn't necessarily be correlated with other features from the same race.

If I remember right the Emperor was basically just Khan from Star Trek but his soul was formed out of some sort of weird gestalt entity made out of shaman souls.

Khan was genetically engineered to be a superhuman, kinda like Fabulous Bill's new humans (only ever appearing in his fluff section).

Emps was born way back when the shamans noticed Mimbari souls loving off to enter human bodies that there's less and less of shamans being born in each generation, so they all killed themselves in a ritual to meld their souls and be reborn as a superbaby, which is what Emps is.

He's from Anatolia. The Anatolians were/are an Indo-European group, and run the gamut from Caucasian to Mongolian. So yeah, he could look white. Anatolians were not Middle-Eastern or Black, so his skin tone would likely not be darker.

Also, who cares? In the fluff, you see what you see, as looking at him is the equivalent of looking at the face of God (other than not dropping dead or something.)

Modern day Turks are still descended from ancient Antatolians as are much of India's population. You know because humans kinda mix all over the place. So people who descend from Anatolians can look like basically anything, but given the time period he's supposed to have originated in it is unlikely that he'd look all that white.

They suffer the stable abhumans, meanwhile mutants are all sort of freaky poo poo that may or may not come from Chaos. Fluff is full of pieces where you find out that a noble or a bishop is corrupt by lifting the robe and finding gnarly stuff (mouths, etc) underneath.
