Welcome back, everyone, to the next in this ongoing series of tutorials. This week, based on several requests, we're going to take a look at the Haradrim!
Similar to the Rohirrim, warriors of Harad have a strong central colour scheme, this time of brass, black and dark red. Here, we'll be looking at how to tie this core palette together across the model, using things like using red washes on the brass, and bringing in black to shade the red cloth, to create a really strong, unified final appearance. I've seen people use both dark blue and purple as a third, spot colour on Haradrim fabric alongside the black and red. Here, I've gone for a dark reddish-pink, again to try and keep the various tones of the model consistent. Anyway, without further ado, let's crack on!
