After tackling the robes the next step was start with the basing and details.

Base Gravel

Base the gravel with a 50/50 mixture of Citadel Celestra Grey and Citadel Storm Vermin Fur and thin it slightly. You may need two coats in certain areas.

Wash the gravel with undiluted Citadel Agrax Earthshade but make sure it isn’t heavy. You only really need one or two dips of the wash brush into the pot per base.

Base Rim

Coat the rim with two to three coats of thinned Citadel Stormvermin Fur

Rope

Base the rope with a 50/50 mixture of Citadel Zandri Dust and Citadel Zamesi Desert. You will need two coats of the thinned mixture.

Leaving the recesses the previous mixture layer the raised rope bits with a mixture of 50/50 Citadel Ushabti Bone and Citadel Zamesi Desert.

Finally highlight the rope focusing on the extreme raised areas and edges with a 50/50 mixture of Citadel Screaming Skull and Citadel Zamesi Desert.

Wood

Base the wood with several coats of thinned Citadel Dryad Bark.

Leaving the previous coat in the recesses layer on a 50/50 mixture of Citadel Dryad Bark and Citadel Gorthor Brown.

Highlight with Citadel Gorthor Brown focusing on the edges of the wood and the upper third of the plank on both ends.  Basically creating a little gradient of darker wood and lighter wood.

Using the same idea use a highlight of Citadel Gorthor Brown and Citadel Baneblade Brown to finish that gradient on the upper 1/6th of the wood plank.
