Round 2 of the Celt paint plan test. This test set uses 4 washes:
- GW Badab Black
- GW Devlan Mud
- Wonder Wash original (black)
- Wonder Wash Dirty Dark Brown
The GW washes dried matt with even/smooth shading over the whole figure. Black and Mud returned very similar results with the black darker by a hair.
The Wonder Wash washes dried with a high shine. Shading is uneven with puddles at the feet and at the bottom of shields. The Dirty Dark Brown is very red and produces a very unpleasant effect on light under colors.
Conclusion: I will be using two washes on the army models: Devlan Mud on cloth/weapons and Gryphonne Sepia for skin. The skin tone with Devlan Mud is far too dark for fair skinned Celts, but could be perfect for a more Mediterranean look.

Have you tried the Ogryn Flesh wash? I find it to be a rather pleasant middle ground between Sepia and Mud. Depending on your skin tone, it can be a hair dark though (I typically use GW Foundation Paints Tallarn Flesh, mostly because it covers excellently).

I tried Ogryn Flesh and found it to produce the same “sun burnt” look that flesh wash always did. If Sepia proves to be too light, maybe I’ll mix a bit of Mud in…
