Marble is one of those things that can make a mini or some scenery look crazily good - but can be really time consuming. Not any more!! Using this technique you'll be able to produce marble with 2 different colours of veining - or more, go crazy!! - and a nice glazed colour as well. I've even shown you how to do it on mini's that you've already painted too!
Let me know what you think of the video, and if you've got any questions just ask!

PSA: Be careful when using these 'disinfecting wipes' in this method, if you are stupid like me. If you stretch them too thin, they rip big holes and becomes incredibly fibrous. These loose fibers will get stuck in your paint, and ruin the paint job trying to remove them. They will also be stuck there permanently if you don't notice and go straight to the gloss varnish coat after the white dries. White is also tough to apply. Don't spray too hard because you will fuck up the white and have to start all over with black, which means you're gonna get even MORE gold flecks everywhere when you have to overly spray gold for the second time. Be patient, careful, and steady.
This is good advice, it's probably something I should have put in the video, but probably one of those things that I didn't think to mention. I'll pin your comment so more people can see it. As with all techniques though, it's always best to do a practice piece before having a go on something you care about just to get a feel for it before having a go.
I definitely should have practiced first. I'm ok with the mistake because the lesson learned is more valuable. Plus I got amazing looking marble in less than an hour.
now thats a marble !
Bloody awesome mate.
BRILLIANT!
Very awesome marble effects , cant wait to try it out , best tutorial ever

Thanks Dude!
@@MohawkMiniatures Yah, Dude, been grinding this video since it dropped. Still watching. Currently Commission Painting a 2x2 Display Board all Marble. Thank You Every Day For Your Pro Tips
Man I have been looking for a great way to do marble for some of my terrain. I should have known you would show the way...Fantastic work as always!
Cheers brother!
Damn awesome job !
By far the best tutorial I’ve seen so far
Fantastic! Thanks a lot!
Best one yet mate, loved it!
Thanks brother!
Mate, super awesome tutorial 🙌🏻😍 editing is looking banging too!
YESSSS!!!!! Thank you man!
Doing a project tonight.. Gonna use this. Thanks and welcome to the Discord!
Amazing video. This is going to my my Templar bases look awesome!
Awwww yeah
Best 'baby-wipe' marble I've seen so far. Good job. I'm gonna have a go at this, but my chosen model is a solid 3D shape that cant be broken down into flat surfaces (a detailed cylindrical plinth for a statue). I cant figure out how to do this and keep the wipe in contact all the way around. Any advice for doing this on 3D shapes where some 'tenting' is inevitable, would be appreciated? TIA.
PS the only thing I can think of, is to mask off one half and do it half at a time, but I dont have a convenient edge that would hide the join.
i dont have an air brush, if i filled my mouth with paint and sprayed it at the mini would i get a similar effect? asking for a friend.
I'm not suggesting that you do this but if you do let me know how it goes :D
Use a straw! Far safer and can load up the straw with paint to save the taste in the mouth!
Unrelated to the subject of the video, but I would love to see more of your style of highlighting on vehicles.
I have something like this planned so watch this space!
Probably by far the BEST marbling effect I've seen. And you make it look super easy. Working on this right now, you stated the ink-water-flow improver ratio on the screen but i didn't see it. can you post it ?
Hey man! glad you liked the video! I use 2 parts flow improver, 1 part ink, 1 part water
@@MohawkMiniatures thanks!!!! just finished up last night and they came out awesome. Client was amazed at how they looked!
I havent tried every brand of baby wipe, but the ones i have tried in the past dont strech the same way.
For the lord Omnisiar
Can you do this with a rattlecan as well?
I dont think you'd get the smooth surface that is fully indicative of marble, but you might be able to get a close version of it
I gave this a try but the wipe ended up becoming completely stuck onto the model (luckily it was just a tester base), utterly ruining it.
What do you think went wrong?
Likely too much paint soaking it and causing it to bond with the paint on the surface. You'll occasionally get some fibres that stick but with light passes of the airbrush it shouldn't be too bad. Just clean up any errant hairs prior to varnishing the mini
Just saw this video and love it. I really want this effect for my warhound titan but don’t have an airbrush. Is there a similar process/result for using a brush or am I SOL here?
Tbh mate, I dont think this would work without an airbrush, but equally I couldn't imagine painting a warhound without one so perhaps it's time to make the investment?
Did I hear 'taught loike a toiger' in there?
Oh yeah man! :D
Did I nearly hear !patreon ? 😋
@@datsundes Dunno what you're talking about :D
Would it be feasible to use a "normal" white color instead of a white ink? What properties does the ink have that make it superior to "normal" color? Amazing job btw, looks gorgeous!
You can but you'd probably need to do twice the number of coats. Without getting too technical white ink has a very fine grind of white pigment, and so when it is applied it goes on smoother and with a more pronounced effect. It's also almost never going to leave a chalky finish to it. It's relatively inexpensive, I think I bought mine from amazon for £7 for 30 ml
awsome. really nice. are you spraying the gold and white perpenticular on the surface?
Very close to that yes, it's mostly for the camera to better display the process but off camera I'd go with a much less steep angle. If you work at 90 degrees to the surface the chance of spider webbing is much greater, even through the stencil. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
@@MohawkMiniatures i have to try this technique... i got 3 of this planes waiting for paint, because i didn´t know how to paint the marble effect. thx for the tutorial and your quick response. keep up your stunning work

Thai is so crisp and clean mate.
So many things to try on on here!
Also, the emerald glaze on the marble, is this to give the feeling of a fine moss on the stone? Dig it, usually see warm tones on marble paint jobs
Nope, just to add some interest - I didnt want to have it looking flat, and didnt want to keep raising the white from grey so I figured the glaze would work. I think it did!
@@MohawkMiniatures indeed it did work! I've seen marble and other natural stone water features develop this kind of tone so it's very believable
Fantastic job and clever technique, but is there a similar way to get this effect with brushwork? (not an airbrush owner...yet)
Yeah, I'm still recording that video. I started it right after doing that one so it should be finished any year now.
Of course but it's not easy, and it's really not quick, and you'll spend less time doing overtime to buy an airbrush than you'll spend painting that.
The result is amazing !
Whats the name of this white fiber?!
You can use baby wipes, or household cleaning wipes but then need to be able to stretch like this one. I just used a cheap own brand "bleach wipe" from a place called wilkinsons in the UK
What wipes did you use ? Can’t seem to get the correct rips in the ones I’m using . Would this work on smaller surface area that isn’t flat ?
I just used some cheap antibacterial wipes from a local store (wilkinsons) as for a smaller surface its fine there but if it's not flat it comes out blurry and looks a little less like marble
Well ... 2:30 ... you are right that it might save your time later ... but the way you do it does not save much time either. I mean, easiest would be masking off the big areas once the marble is done, without need of cutting carefully into those crevices ;) and then paint those areas
The best way to do it would be to do the marble first tbh, however that ended up not being the way it was painted
@@MohawkMiniatures yes yes ... exaclty my point :D The masking afterwards would be much simpler :D
@@pankalich It would, but the commission would have taken longer to do - there was a lot to paint and this was probably the best order for it to be done in. If it was just a single mini then id have done the undercoat, marble and windows and then the black
What is the brand of cleaning wipes? I have tried 2 so far and they don't stretch like that.
These were the cheap ones from a uk based store called wilkinsons, they're the kind of hardware/household goods/everything store that sells thing from pots and pans, to drills, to sweets and all that stuff. About 50p for a pack so super cheap!
@Mohawk Miniatures if you were to do an black with grey and bronze tones which paints would you advise to use?
I'd use viking gold from scale 75 which is a darker more orange gold as the base coat, then either black or grey next depending on which you want to have as the more predominant final colour. I'd use thamar black from P3 and I think Eshin or Mechanicus Grey from GW. Sorry for the late reply, I was streaming all weekend. If you ever want to ask a question and get a real time answer then pop into the stream if I'm live and ask there!
@@MohawkMiniatures thank you so much for the response I’ll hit you up progress picture when I start work on my war dogs thank you
