I started by priming my gate with Sanguine Red . This stage isn't necessary, but it sped things up.

Red Wood

  1. Basecoat with Khorne Red .
  2. Heavily drybrush with 1:1 Mephiston Red and Evil Sunz Scarlet . Use a big, fat brush and try to cover everything but recesses.
  3. Drybrush again, using Evil Sunz Scarlet . Build up colour in the centre of the posts and on edges.
  4. Flood any kanji with a thin mix of 1:1 Khorne Red and Abaddon Black .
  5. Highlight all edges with Troll Slayer Orange . I did this as a pretty fine highlight, but went heavier on corners. Feel free to enhance the colour with glazes, where you want to emphasise shape.
  6. Selectively Highlight with Tau Light Ochre .
  7. Finish with very small/specular highlights of 1:1 Tau Light Ochre and White .
