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.

Wood 2

1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
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

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

Wood 4

1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
2. Drybrush heavily with Dryad Bark .
3. Lightly drybrush with a 1:1 mix of Dryad Bark and Gorthor Brown .

2. Drybrush heavily with XV-88 .
3. Lightly drybrush with Balor Brown .
4. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with Screaming Skull if you want to go the extra mile.

I personally found the look of this wood a little too vibrant. To knock it back a little, I gave it a quick was with Marine Juice (https://youtube.com/shorts/vxfgZKfYCZc).

Wood 6

1. Basecoat with Dryad Bark
2. Drybrush heavily with Gorthor Brown .
3. Lightly drybrush with Karak Stone .

   Shade: Gorthor Brown/Abbadon Black 1:1
   Layer: Steel Legion Drab
   Highlight: Baneblade Brown
   Final Highlight: Ushabti Bone

Wood 8

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. I used some pre-mixed Marine Juice (https://youtube.com/shorts/vxfgZKfYCZc), which is 4 parts Lahmian Medium , 3 parts Dark Tone and 3 parts Reikland Fleshshade .
3. Drybrush heavily with Baneblade Brown .

5. Optionally, selectively edge highlight with 1:2 Mournfang Brown & Zamesi Desert if you want to go the extra mile.

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.

Cloth 1

1. Basecoat with Karak Stone .
2. Shade with Steel Legion Drab .

5. Repeat with fine highlights of Ushabti Bone .
6. Mix a little White into your Ushabti Bone and selectively highlight.

1. Basecoat with Tallarn Sand .
2. Add general shading with 1:1 Tallarn Sand and Rhinox Hide .
3. Shade more selectively with Rhinox Hide .

3. Increase the amount of Abaddon Black in the mix and selectively shade.

Ground

1. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown .
2. Drybrush with Zamesi Desert .
3. Light Drybrush of Ushabti Bone .

Steel

1. Basecoat with Burnt Iron
2. Glaze in highlights and edge highlight with a mix of Burnt Iron and a little Silver RLM01 Metallic .
3. Finish with selective Silver RLM01 Metallic highlights.

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.

Ground

1. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown . It is best to thin a little with water to ensure it flows into all of the recesses. Give it a couple of coats, until the colour is solid.
2. Drybrush with Zamesi Desert , picking out all of the raised detail.
3. Give the base a second dryrbush with Ushabti Bone . Make this drybrush a little lighter, so it only picks out the most raised points.
