I am going to try something a little different when i base my Corsairs and Mahud, I am looking for a savannah style effect on them. I have ordered a tub of GW's 'Dead Grass' as this seems to be the right colour, I also have some 'Woodland Scenics' 'Yellow Grass', which is much denser as it is medium ground cover and wolud not cover a base properly, it is best used for small tufts and to represent undergrowth.

So, i would like to know how you would go about creating a base ressembling Far Harad's Savannahs, and also how you would add some extra detail to the bases (What would be themeatic, i know it is an undiscovered area mostly so this may be hard.)?

Thanks for your help, i will post WIP pictures once i have some good ideas from people because i am clueless at the moment.

Thanks.

how about :
death animal skeletons who have died from being thirsty
snakes
scorpions
cactus?
death plants
uhm .. some rocks or something
- maybe you could do some research to see what life and plants are in places like that.

Yes, thank you for those suggestions, now, i will do some research as you advised, and also maybe try to find some skulls.

After much browsing I have discovered that there are many more types of Savanaah than i bargined for, there is the basic savanaah with lots of trees and then there is the grassland savanaah with very few trees and lots of grass (mainly quite lush though), and finally there is the desert savanaah which i could imagine Far Harad would resemble.

If anyone knows anywhere that sells things like Garmenhord suggested (snakes, skeletons(general casualties of the intense heat)) then i would be welcome to know, otherwise, i'm off to my cupboard filled with putty.

I would say go for the sculpting it's more fun And i think a snake should be easy what ever your sculpting skills are Good luck with it
