ChaoticEric Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Funny, I was about to post requesting a tutorial on how to paint marble as well :) My purpose is slightly different though as I'm planning to use it to paint the scenic base of Guilliman. Anyone knows what colours to use to get the same effect that fw has used in the pics below? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ROBOUTE_GUILLIMAN.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 There are several different ways to paint marble. Depending on the size of the piece in question, your brushes will need to be switched-out. This will only be for white but feel free to change the colours for different stone. Here we go: Celestra Grey base- make sure this goes over a dry black undercoat and that the paint is the consistency of milk when applied Ulthuan Grey layer- the paint should be the same consistency as previous and applied over the Celestra Grey when it is fully dry White Scar layer- repeat the above (milky paint over dry previous layer) White Scar lines- when the previous White Scar paint is applied, there will be dots left over. Connect these dots using waving, jagged, natural lines (look at a piece of marble for inspiration) Agrax Earthshade shade- apply to any indentation or detail 'Ard Coat (or similar Gloss Varnish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
