These barricades were a great excuse to try out a bunch of different wood recipes. I put a little more effort into these than I probably should, but I plan on getting a good amount of use from them.

Wood 1

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Dryad Bark & Mournfang Brown .
2. Run some thin Dryad Bark into deep recesses. Don't worry about doing this on woodgrain, just distinct details between planks etc.
3. Drybrush with a 1:1 mix of the base colour & Karak Stone .
4. Lightly drybrush with Karak Stone .
5. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with 1:1 Karak Stone & Wraithbone if you want to go the extra mile.

2. Drybrush of Doombull Brown .
3. Light drybrush of Gorthor Brown .
4. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with Baneblade Brown if you want to go the extra mile.

Wood 3

Sharpened Stakes

1. Basecoat with XV-88 . To add texture, I would recommend doing this in thin lines, pulling your brush towards the tip. Repeat a couple of times and you should be nearing totalcoverage, with some subtle texture.
2. Now begin adding Screaming Skull into your XV-88 and leave bigger gaps between lines. Do this a couple of times, making the lines thinner and more sparse as you brighten the colour.
3. Edge highlight with pure Screaming Skull .
4. Mix a little White into your Screaming Skull and selectively highlight the point.

I used Vallejo Metal Color/Model Air for this element, but you could definitely use the traditional Leadbelcher , Ironbreaker and Stormhost Silver if you wanted. I just prefer the finish of Metal Color paints.
