This archer was painted by Neil Langdown as part of a small warband of Haradrim Warriors. Although the cloak is drybrushed, the primary painting technique used was ink washing. To use this technique, paint fluid ink over a light basecoat. The ink will flow into the natural creases and folds to create shading and highlights. This quality of the ink allows you to shade a model effectively with very little effort. Start by gluing the model to its base and undercoating it with Chaos Black Primer.

When the red and purple color scheme is applied to a whole warband of Haradrim Warriors, you can create a nice sense of variety by applying the colors to different areas of each model. You can paint the headdress purple on one model, for example, and then paint it red on the next. By using the same colors on the whole unit, you retain a sense of unity that looks good on the tabletop.
