Marble looks very effective in Dioramas and on large models. It looks really difficult to paint, but it's not as hard as you might think.
Marble.
When painting marble, you will need to paint with a small piece of sponge (natural, not synthetic). Firstly paint the area black. Now dab the sponge into some Dark Angels Green paint. Now dab it on the area leaving some areas black and some areas green. Mix quite a bit of white with the Dark Angels Green and dab this onto the areas of green you made before as highlights. Now with a brush, paint thin lines (like lightning) onto the area. Paint this with gloss varnish and it looks really effective.

This picture shows you what i'm talking about. The gloss  varnish makes it a bit too shiny on the photo but you can see what kind of effect you can achieve.
