Fenrykus Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I want to do a marble effect on my McFarlane intercessor, and I've seen one video where a woman achieves a close look by blowing bubbles in an ink-like solution onto a cup and then letting them dry. Does anyone else have any pointers or tips for how to achieve such a look?

Does anyone else have any pointers or tips for how to achieve such a look? If you have an airbrush, this is the best way to do it IMO. There's a couple of different videos on youtube from many different painters. Here's just one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qDGwMZKJPc Edited January 29, 2021 by m0nolith Fenrykus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368769-marbling-effect/#findComment-5660967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not what you're asking for, but GW/Duncan did a how-to video: Fenrykus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368769-marbling-effect/#findComment-5661061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammel Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) This worked wonderfully for me, with the provisos that A: you only need a tiny bit of black clay for a great 'meandering' effect and B: you can't apply the clay to a plastic base before sticking it in the oven - you'll need resin bases if you want to do that.

My own results here: https://imgur.com/a/ECyHfTi I'm actually looking for methods to paint marble on armor, rather than for basing purposes. I'm going to paint my McFarlane Intercessor in my Chapter's colors, but I'm going to embellish him a bit, because why not? That's not to say, however, that I won't use this in the future. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368769-marbling-effect/#findComment-5661418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
