How to Paint Marble Bases

This is a full step‑by‑step painting tutorial showing how I paint marble chessboard bases for Warhammer Horus Heresy and 40K. In this guide, I cover the complete painting process used on my Golden Demon Vampire Blood Bowl entry, including smooth marble veining, color variation, and optional weathering for a more battle‑worn look.

The miniature featured here is from my Sons of Horus AOP 2023 entry, and this base style will return soon for a III Legion project. If you want a separate sculpting guide for the tiles themselves, let me know in the comments.
