Some high quality pictures of my paintjob of classic Marneus Calgar. As I said before, I bought this model when I was 12 and rediscovered it at my parents’ house recently. I stripped it and added it to my current Ultramarine army. Even though the sculpt can’t compete with the latest batch of Space Marine characters, it was a nice model at the time it was released and still looks solid. I really enjoyed painting Marneus because of the nostalgia connected to him.

Sure thing 🙂 I basecoated the cloak Mechrite Red, then shaded with Scab Red and finally with VGC Black Ink (you can also use thinned Chaos Black). Then I applied the basecoat of Mechrite Red again and highlighted with several thin coats of Blood Red. Finally I applied an extreme highlight of Fiery Red on the very prominent creases and folds.
Beautiful work Stahly.
May I ask how you went about doing the cloak? I'm wanting something similar for my characters in my army, to contrast with the grey armour.
Thanks, I used regular metallics. I used VGC Glorious Gold shaded with thinned VGC Brown Ink and highlighted with Mithril Silver 🙂
Still a cool model (and the only official GW model that really works as a suitable Marneus outside of terminator armor).
Nice paint job. Is that NMM, or just heavily shaded metallics?
