Painting wooden floors

[Neotacha]

Wash, then dry brush?  Or dry brush and a dark wash after?

Depends on the floor type and how heavily whethered you'd like it.

For ship decks I paint, wash and then drybrush. For interior floors I sometimes paint, drybrush and then apply pastels in the corners to give a controlled, subtle look.

What it is in particular that you're painting?

It's the semi-circular floor from the Mithril vignette "An Unexpected Party".  While I'm not planning on fixing the figures to the floor (they're actually going to be used in various crowd scenes), I do want to use the floor as perhaps a low stage in a tavern, or in a town square.  So not terribly weathered, but not so very pristine as in Aunt Abigail's good parlor that only sees the light of day for funerals or a visit from a head of state.

Keep it nice and subtle then but exchange the pastels for a thin wash and you should be fine 

Oh yeah, don't be afraid to have multiple layers of drybrushing, bringing it up from the base colour, takes longer but the overall effect is much better.
