At Long Last, First Haradrim Are Finished

I started a batch of Haradrim almost two years ago, but got bogged down in figuring out a color scheme that I liked, and so they just sat collecting dust on my paint table.  After SITE, however, I started on them again.  After a cleanup to get rid of the dust, I experimented with a few color options that worked well.  The Haradrim have a lot of detail for plastic models in some areas, not so much in others.  Anyway, I am quite happy with the final product on this first batch of 18. 

I also experimented with a new basing scheme.  I wanted something that would look consistent with a desert culture, but would also mesh well with my existing basing schemes, as I would likely use these with Mordor/Gondor/Rohan figures at some point.  Again, I was very happy with the result.  

The base was a simple small grain sand based with GW's Bestial Brown, highlighted with Bubonic Brown and then Kommando Khaki.  A light addition of Woodland Scenics' Burnt Grass was the final touch.  The outer bases were painted Bestial Brown.
