For the cloth, I lifted/adapted a bunch of paint recipes from Eavy-Archive.com and tried my best to match them to a list of medieval dyes. I found the PDF linked from Andy Hobday's excellent "Painting the Past: Uniforms in the High Medieval Period" post on his site, if you wanted to see the original images.

My aim is to post a recipe for every colour mentioned in the PDF, eventually. This guide is an ongoing project, so if there is just a name listed below, I haven't got to it yet.

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
2. Add highlights to everything with Dryad Bark . You can make them pretty chunky or glaze them in at this point.
3. Apply fine highlights with Baneblade Brown , using the big highlights from the previous stage as a guide.
4. Selectively highlight with Karak Stone .
5. Mix some Ivory into your Karak Stone and add very small or :specular highlights.

When highlighting dark leather like this, with bright colours, it can be easy to overdo it. If you feel your leather has too stark highlights at the end, I would recommend glazing over it with some very thin Rhinox Hide , then re-applying the final highlights to more select points.

2. Shade with 1:1 XV-88 and Rhinox Hide .
3. In particuarly deep recesses shade with pure Rhinox Hide .

5. Selectively highlight with Karak Stone .
6. Mix some Ivory into your Karak Stone and add very small or :specular highlights.

Rope

1. Basecoat with Ushabti Bone .
2. Wash with a brownish contrast paint of your choice, like Skeleton Horde , Nazdreg Yellow or Aggaros Dunes .
3. Pick out small highlights with Screaming Skull .

Wood

1. Basecoat with Thondia Brown .
2. Shade with Rhinox Hide .
3. Highlight and add woodgrain with a mix of 2:1 Thondia Brown and Steel Legion Drab .
4. Take the above paint and mix it 1:1 with Administratum Grey . Now use this for fine highlights.
5. Increase the amount of Administratum Grey again, then add selective highlights.
6. Finish with a few specular highlights of pure Administratum Grey .

This is the recipe I have used on wood for all of my Barons' War miniatures. As there are only small areas of wood on most of these peasant miniatures, feel free to skip stages here and there.

Skin

1. Basecoat the skin with 4 parts Cadian Fleshtone , 4 parts Ushabti Bone and 1 of White . This sounds more complicated than it is, but its just an equal parts mix of two paints and a touch of white. Feel free to wing it.
2. Take a little of the base colour and mix it 3:1 with Doombull Brown . Use this colour to add soft shading to the skin.
3. Add more select shading with 5:1 Doombull Brown and Abaddon Black .

As these are the tools or working folk, you may want to dirty them up a bit, I glazed in some dirty patches with browns I had on my pallete already. Mostly Thondia Brown .
