Snikrot nearing completion

Further work on my count as Snikrot.  The painting is done, just need the base...



And so he in finished.  Well, sans base.  I have added a few things, since as the blood on the blades kind of on a whim.  I feel much better about his looks now, though I think the blood might be a bit much now.  The only thing I have to sort out now is his base.  I have been on the look for some desert grass, kind of pale green or yellow but I have struggled to find any in Leeds (though I have not been to Hobbycraft, as I don't know how to get there).  I checked out the GW one briefly, but it didn't look right.  Any ideas?  Anyway, here he is..
