This is by far the best execution of the marble bases. Surprised that it isn't the top video for the subject considering how mid the others are.

wow, this is really great!! I wanna give this a try now :-)

Love the idea of sanding down the bases and making the grooves. Money and/or timesaver.

This video gave me the idea to base my thousand sons army this way. For those who read Ahriman: The Omnibus-> imagine the army itself it’s a projection in Ahriman’s mind (wich is a library/tower/temple with marble flooring). So cool and fluffy.

Heard about this video from the Long War Podcast, this method looks great

For a while I thought the setup behind you was your bed and I was all "WHAT KIND OF SCI-FI BED IS THIS GUY SLEEPING IN?!" I'd seen this kind of technique before, but you lifted it to another level.

Another great video. If "quick and easy" wasn't in the title, I would easily believe you spent hours on each of those bases. Been telling everyone who'll listen about your channel- you're criminally underrated. Keep up the good work, and can't wait for your next one.

This video should have 10x more wiews. As a plus the cleaning wipe technique creates a really unique and easy effect that can be utilized while i paint mini's and terrain. Bravo

This is so good. Subscribed.

Absolutely brilliant - love the effect you achieved.

I heard about this video on The Long War Podcast. Am now subscribed. Great technique! I will try this one my Sister's of Battle.

Nice work cuz

Amazing video! You do a great job showing off this technique, and make it so easy to understand. I can't wait to try this out on my Night Lords army!

Very useful and easy resource for marble. Nice explanation and short video too.Thank you for your work and for sharing.

The scribing definitely looks superior. Cheers for sharing!

This is phenomenal!

Sweet crap; that’s amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!

Pro-Acryl is my favorite paint and these bases are fantastic!

Great idea! Your channel has very inspiring content. Thank you, sir.

Scribbed looks great. Amazing video man.👍

This is super helpful, thank you so much!

Awesome method works great used it for my Numenor Army going to try it with a green next

god damn that was easy as hell i will try this for sure, got all the colors except the white ink

Wonderfull! And very easy to do. I try to do there for my miniature. Thanks.

I'm not too deft with a knife, so I tried using my craft saw and it gave me much more consistent results. I'm not even sure if the scribing tool was necessary after using it, either. Tamiya's Handy Craft Saw II.

This is absolutely awesome and I would have liked KZfaq to show it to me long ago.

Very Impressive!

Had to give it a few tries but in the end it worked really well ! Thanks for the tip :-)

PSA - I forgot to say to dry out your wipes. Leave them out for a couple hours or hit them with a hairdryer to get the moisture out of them.

Love it. ❤ nice and easy, will try on a larger surface and see how it goes.

Incredible subed just cause how good this is first vid I've seen of yours I'm stoked will work great for my sisters of battle

Nice

I just found out how I'm gonna base my 30K army. Thank you sir!

Very nice I like that ! I like the onez That been cut in better very very nice🩸🤘🏻

Welp, I know what my Custodes are going to be standing on when they're finished...

Aweosme idea :O :)

Definitely the scribed line is much nicer.

Exactly what i need for my legion of the damned!

Really nice tutorial, cheers, only advice I would add to this is if you have shakey hands try a thin black oil touched into those grooves or panel liner to add those lines for the tiles . Thanks 🙏

This is the best video I have ever seen !!! Can you give me idea what kind of similar material to use to make this effect on the wall ? Thanks a lot !

Great video! Definitely earned a subscriber! I’ve been wanting to get into airbrushing for my minis, recommendation where to start?

Just did this myself with GW rattle cans and works a treat, also i didn't have a inscribing tool like you so i substituted a small metal file of which i used the tip along a metal ruler. Looks exactly like what you have there

Thank you so much for this video. How long do you let the disinfectant wipe dry before you stretch it out?

Have you tried it the other way around? I mean white veins to create black marble?

Hey man so cool!!! Question though! Is it possible to get the mix with the gold underneath WITHOUT an airbursh? So would a gold baselayer work to then spray black over with the tissue and then white? Thanks!

Is there a recommendation of wet wipes to use? I've tried 2 or so different brands but they dont have the fibrous effect you show. Are they specifically a cotton cleaning one or some sort of flushable?

Great video im not doing bases but my bard earth genasi is gonna have marble skin and i had no idea how to do it thanks

Well this is going to be tricky since I've already glued my minis to their bases but a bit of masking and I'm sure they'll be fine.

Now i just need that mi friends lets me his aero...

I can't find a wipe that stretches like that. What brand did you use? All of the ones I find tear like paper when stretched. They don't have a cotton texture that the fibers can separate on.

👏👏👏

Do you find that Gloss Varnish works better the other things? I usually use "Ardcoat" to make things looks shiny.

Great video! My only question is did you thin the paints or are they already thin enough for airbrushing?

Do you let the paint dry at all, or just whip the wipe straight off? Loving how this looks but having trouble getting it looking as good 😅

Did you experiment with cutting in the lines after painting? I cant wait to try this technique...ty

I used to do my marble bases with the steel spunge method, but this is so much quicker! Is the gold coat required for the effect to work, or would a simple brown do the trick?

If you have another way to do Marble bases that is simpler please link it below so we can all get the most out of our hobby time!

How to the minis stick to the gloss? Does the gloss cause any issues with glueing them to the base?

I am having an issue with my bases sliding when trying to keep a straight edge with the scribing tool.

Will the miniature stick onto the varnish with normal plastic glue?

Uhhh what sort of disinfectant wipes did you use? I tried two different kinds and none of then split up and seperate like in the video

I can't find the right type of disinfectant wipes. Is there a particular brand you use?

Do you think dryer sheets would work in place of the baby wipes?

Anyone have good recommendations for a cloth to use here? Any of the cleaning wipes i have tried just rip when attempting to stretch to the desired effect. Even went as far as to try out some leftover halloween spider web decorations but they didnt really turn out all that well to be honest.

What brand of wipes did you use? All the ones I have at home don't stretch correctly.

Sorry, I have one more question.... So... I have custom bases that I had made for my Custodes... they are a cathedral mosaic type, which would be amazing for this effect...the only problem is, there are LOTS of "grout" groove areas.... do you have any suggestions on how to fill those groove areas in? I know you line yours, but i feel like maybe using a wash and wiping down the smooth surface after, letting the wash sit in the grooves might be the way I have to go. Just asking, because I trust you, I love this video!

OMG ! nice work ! What is the fabric you use ?

The scribed lines look great and I think I’ll use this method when I get some more new models

I'm just getting back into 40K after a 10 year hiatus. Gonna get some Custodians and was wanting a marble tiled base. This video is a godsend thank you ! Don't have an air spray, but rattlecans should work just as good right ?

Really cool effect and great tutorial. Both are good, but the first method was the best for me :)

I want to try this but I think I got the wrong kind of wet wipes. I dried them but mine tear instead of forming these patterns when stretching them out. What brand did you use if you don't mind me asking?

I was looking for a way to do faux marble and found this. No need to look at anymore tutorials after seeing this.

Just started Blackstone Fortress. Gonna mess with the colours and see what happens! Will have to put cardboard on top of the bases though, as they are terrible!

This is awesome - can i ask what the tool is called or where you got it from ? :)

Damn that looks incredible, Pity it doesn't work without the airbrush

This is amazing! Those bases look incredible. My army is based with a lava theme but after seeing this I’d probably consider giving it a try if I start a new army!

Why do you make me want to rebase my entire army right after I buy more crackle paste >< Seriously though this is amazing stuff

Is there a way to do this without airbrush?

Would a dryer sheet work the same as the disinfectant wipe? Got a bunch of dryer sheets I'm not using anymore

Sorry for another question... did you use Titanium White for a reason? Or just because its what you had? Is there another white that might look like marble?

I want to do an entire imperial knight with marble armour

Guess I need an air brush since the sponge didn't work :')

So I tried this and it made a massive mess as all the threads of the wipe got stuck in the paint. Is the trick to take it off super fast? Or our wipes just made different?

What is the type/brand/product you use for the sheets? I've bought 3 different kinds now and none of them pull apart like I've seen in multiple videos (including yours). I'm going insane.

i've tried two different kinds of wet wipes now and both of them just tear when pulled at all.. before i spend all my money buying random brands of wet wipes- anyone in the uk found success with any specific wipes?

I haveproblem that the desinfectant sheets just rip instead of creating those little holes :/

How often are you switching out the sheet?

Can you do this on models aswell?

I'm having a hard time getting this right

unpopular opinion: i don't like basing, hear me out. i feel like a beautiful base is like a miniature diorama, it tells a story and paints a broader picture of the unit and its history and looks incredible displayed on shelves, giving the entire army a unified look. BUT; it really destroys any immersion i feel when playing a game when the based of the models are in stark contrast to the battle mat/ arena. units with beautiful fluffy green grass while battling upon a dusty dry red field is off putting to me. i feel like clear acrylic would be ideal, allowing us to see the ground under the unit nut baring that i feel like bases should be more abstract. TL:DR this is my new favorite way to make bases for any army and i'm going to go crazy with it lol

Thank God for this tutorial because the other million that are exactly the same as this one weren't enough..

Do you have a link for that scribing tool? Or a brand name? I want to do these bases for my new 1k Sons!
