These are incredible. I do marble bases for my 30k Blood Angels, but I'm going to have to do this for the shields of my 40k Blood Angels. Absolutely fantastic.
@@wpb5876 that is a no named brush I got off of eBay :) it’s brand new as of this video application which is why it’s holding a good point 😅 however I recommend cheap nylon brushes if you’re on a budget for all shading and even most base coating of large areas of a model, then I save my Raphael brush range for finer details so that they last longer. You can find 8-12 packs and all different sizes of Nylon Brushes on eBay, Amazon etc
@@N00b_Bot thanks for watching :) if I’m being honest I still have a lot of practice to go into non-metallic metals in general before I can do a tutorial on them, but I hope to improve on them soon to a point where I’d be happy doing a tutorial :)
@DuskTilDawnpainting no worries, even a vid showing the trials and learnings is good. Not everything has to be polished golden demon worthy painting ability. Sometimes it's more helpful for people learning to see why something didn't work so you know what to avoid yourself. Cheers.
Not bad - however, marble has a kind of 'cloudy' texture to it as well; by adding that, preferably around the centers of the veins as very thin glazes, you can get that effect, especially if you use thinner medium or something similar to avoid tide marks. Also, regarding the veins: I like to think of them as a mass of Y's stretched out, often quite long in the marble. Add a couple of X's as well and the pattern is done.
@@Kojak0 thanks for the tips :) I’ve gradually started including more glazes (I just finished filming a second tutorial on a green marble shield that I’ll try to upload next week) and I agree. I think my main concern with adding those details for the first time around with the white marble in this tutorial was that it was going to look too busy with all of the other details, but I think some light glazes of dawnstone and even a darker grey would have added a lot. Always appreciate feedback, as to be honest I am still learning myself :)

@@DuskTilDawnpainting thanks for the reply and tip!
This is handy been painting a bladeguard and was thinking the plain white shield was bit meh.
Would like to see a gold nmm tutorial 🙏.

@@N00b_Bot that’s very true. I’ll keep that in mind :)

Love these! Going to try your purple sword soon. Do you reckon you could do a black or green marble please?
@@BigBlob7 I’ll definitely be doing black marble for one of my bladeguard veterans, and green sounds like a cool idea too :)
@@BigBlob7 just finished filming a green marble shield :) thanks for the idea. I’ll aim to upload it this coming week
@@DuskTilDawnpainting Excellent I cant wait! Will probably try it on my custodians, have a shadow keeper with green instead of red vibe
Green marble shield tutorial is up :)
