Painting Wood Tutorial

I’ve started a 3-up Ninja Goblin which was originally sculpted by Sean Green, former Forgeworld sculptor. I had purchased this model around 2012, so I’ve had him a few years.

During that time, I’ve moved around chasing work, so I never really had time or the space to build and paint this miniature, well that’s the excuse I given myself and I’m sticking to it.

The base that comes with the mini is a large round resin with an effect sculpted on it, now I decided that I wanted a deep reddish colour wood. Below is a simple step by step of how I achieved this.

Stage 1; I under coated the base with Wraithbone by Games Workshop

Stage 2/3

I decided that the first two coats would be Flesh Wash (which is more like an ink than a wash) by Games Workshop. Now this paint is no longer in production, so I’d recommend using an reddish ink by another company such as Vallejo or Army Painter. You could just use a dark brown ink/wash but remember to do two coats.

Stage 4/5

The next colour I used was Game Ink by Vallejo and again I painted two coats of this.

Stage 6/7

As you can see the first two paints, I’ve used have given it a rich dark work appearance, but I decided just to apply another colour, this time Seraphim Sepia by Games Workshop.

As an alternative you could use different paints, a suggestion would be the following

Dark Tone by Army Painter

Strong Tone by Army Painter

Agrax Earthshade

Other suggestions could be Reikland Fleshwash by GW and Lavado Sepia by Vallejo.

ahh Flesh Wash… liquid gold!
That’s a great varnished timber finish you’ve got there.
