Quick method for creating a white marble/granite-like effect without an airbrush or using the wet wipes technique. This technique was developed by FALCON MINI STUDIOS.

  1. After priming with Grey Seer base coat with Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  2. Sponge randomly and sparsely with Dawnstone .
  3. Apply a thick, wet layer of Wraithbone and then place a piece of cling film over it. Wrinkle the cringe film roughly and removed it to leave a random marbled pattern.
  4. Highlight and build up some select lighter areas with Pallid Wych Flesh .
  5. Apply some sparse patches of very thinned Steel Legion Drab .
  6. Wash all over with very thinned Pallid Wych Flesh to bring all the colours together.
  7. Apply some highlights with White Scar . Then sponge on some very light speckles of White Scar .
  8. Using a sponge gently add some faint speckles of Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  9. Optional step: at this point you can paint in some very fine cracks with thinned Mechanicus Standard Grey and a fine paint brush. This is tricky and takes some practice to look convincing. Adding in some very small areas of pure Mechanicus Standard Grey in the veins can add depth.
  10. Finally, apply an all over very thin wash of Pallid Wych Flesh and seal with a gloss or satin varnish.
