So, I'm trying to paint some blood angels for my local GW's Armies On Parade event in a couple days. I'm getting there, but I'm running low on Vallejo Panzer Aces Old Wood, and I will definitely buy some, but it will not arrive in time, that I can guarantee. I probably have enough for base rims and stuff, but the dreadnought has a sculpted base, and I don't have enough to paint on that. What's a good equivalent? I tried to look at karak stone/baneblade brown, but I'm not sure how well they would work...

here's an example of the colour. Should preferably be citadel, but AP and VMC/VGC works. The VMC colour 'old wood' which shares a name is a no-go though. Nowhere near the colour I am looking for. Just, whatever's the closest you can think of

Agrellan earth and badlands are that hue but those are technical paints which will cause texture during drying, if you don't mind that to your base then go with those.

I'm afraid I do, but thanks for the suggestion. Is karak stone a good equivalent? Or is there something more accurate?

Looks a little like Zandri Dust to me.

Second this.
