OK, let's get this out of the way first. I vaguely refer to a brown wash at several point in this guide. Specifically, I am using what is generally referred to as "Marine Juice" (https://youtube.com/shorts/vxfgZKfYCZc). This is a mix of 4 parts Lahmian Medium , 3 parts Dark Tone and 3 parts Reikland Fleshshade .

You could of could just use Agrax Earthshade and thin it with Lahmian Medium . I just prefer this very specific mix for adding general shading to a textures surface.

Wood 1

  1. Basecoat with Steel Legion Drab .
  2. Wash with a brown of your choosing. If it is one straight out of the bottle, I would recommend thinning roughly 1:1 with some medium.
  3. Drybrush heavily with Baneblade Brown .
  4. Lightly drybrush with Karak Stone .
  5. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with 1:1 Karak Stone & White if you want to go the extra mile.

Wood 2

  1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
  2. Drybrush of Doombull Brown .
  3. Light drybrush of Gorthor Brown .
  4. Shade deep recesses with Nuln Oil and a thin brush.
  5. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with Baneblade Brown if you want to go the extra mile.

Wood 3

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

Wood 4

  1. Basecoat with Thondia Brown .
  2. Drybrush heavily with 2:1 with Thondia Brown and Steel Legion Drab .
  3. Mix the previous paint 1:1 Administratum Grey and drybrush lightly.
  4. Run some thin Rhinox Hide into deep recesses. Don't worry about doing this on woodgrain, just distinct details between planks etc.
  5. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with Administratum Grey if you want to go the extra mile.

Wood 5

  1. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown .
  2. Add chnky highlights with XV-88 .
  3. Apply fine highlights with Balor Brown .
  4. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with Screaming Skull if you want to go the extra mile.
