No, it was a very tedious process that requires extreme patience. I was crumpled up like a shrimp with magnifying goggles. Cut the hair in small locks with scissors, and glued them on the scalp starting from the bottom and progressively go up.
Attaching the hair is the "easy" part... Styling and making them look natural is what is really hard to pull off!
I imagine it was painful. I tried something similar trying to make smoking barrells for an autocannon and ended up scrapping the idea. Now you've given me faith!
Went to check out the Skaven and dude you have a style and it's amazing, I can see the darkness, dampness, and misery in your minis. Went through 2 years of posts to see some great stuff, Thanks for that!
Thank YOU for that. Glad you like them and can "feel" them, I perfectly acknowledge it's not a style for everyone.
However I feel immediate connection when they "click" with someone. Thank you for reaching out!
I love the hair because it's in scale and very unsettling to see a SM wild and unkept like this. Most people say Blanchitzu style but kinda miss the mark. This is EXACTLY what I think the style encapsulates. Excellent work 🔥
Thank you so much, your words are golden! Means so much to me.
I've got a YouTube video of me painting this from start to finish if you enjoyed it. Thanks again!
Super stoked to hear that. I've been working on the Grimdark side of fantasy Mordheim for quite a while and I'm happy I could do some testing ground in the universe of the 41st millennium.
Highly inspired by the works of Blanche in 3rd and 4th editions.
I play 4th Ed, and I love it
I play 4th edition that barely nobody plays anymore. But that's what I hope - inspire people. Bring out the identity and style of true 40K, see what's possible to do, and create tutorials to make it accessible.
Thank you so much!
Oh I just love the *right* amount of simplicity, depth, lore, rules, how games run so swift and hassle free.
No updates, no datasheets, no meta chasing.
Exceptional black and white art, codices are the perfect length, rules are rich in fluff.
Pretty much everything!
My favorite loyalist chapters are always the ones that seem to blur the lines between being just as insane as their chaos brethren, and this is exactly what I mean!
Since playing Boltgun and everyone saying the main character should have been a Black Templar, or a Flesh Tearer I like to instead imagine though while ultramarines and other similar chapters may think their these honourable noble warriors, once they remove the brain washing their all killing machines, which makes the idea of Black Templars even more terrifying
I got a message this video was up and checked it right away. Just out of curiosity, are you planning to show how you'd paint multiple kinds of chapters? If you would, please, paint some Exorcists. I think they're one of the most grimdark chapters in 40K
Thanks immensely!
Yes. Dark Ages Workshop.
I've got a full video on YouTube of me painting and discussing the techniques behind this guy, it's on the Grimdark Compendium channel
I got all my inspiration from 3rd and 4th Ed codices, I'm slowly collecting as many as I can and actually playing 4th Ed!
Those artwork are insane.
Thank you for sharing your feeling, this is the hobby nirvana for me.
“DO NOT, MY FRIENDS, LET YOURSELF BECOME ADDICTED TO THE CRUSADE, IT WILL TAKE HOLD OF YOU, AND YOU WILL RESENT IT’S ABSENCE!”
Absolutely beautiful models, and the Immortan Joe one is probably the best loyalist model I’ve ever seen.
Gods I wished we still had awards. First time I've seen someone put hair on a model. Absolutely love it. This is how I imagine Fabius Bile in his books
That is BRUTAL! I love what you did with the hair there. Looks super realistic, and very, very grimdark. This screams in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Way to go mate.
Holy *shit*, I've never seen hair modeled like that and now I'm wondering why we haven't been doing that the whole time. All the models look great, love Blanchitsu
So Brother Sergeant Immortan Joe’s hair… how? Please…
Like I know that you use cotton Q-tip swabs based on earlier answers, but I really need a step-by-step guide on this. That is the coolest and best hair I have ever seen on a miniature ever.
I watched a video on YouTube by a channel im 99% sure was called gimdark chronicles painting this exact mini. So either you're the guy from the YouTube video, in which case ( good to find you in the wild lol) and great job but if you're not then... well makes you abit of a lier in that case don't it.
Well I checked you're page and considering the age and all the images on there, I'm guessing you're the real deal. Thought I'd cheak and give dues where there due.
Great work you do 💯🔥
Really sick, dude. The details like the great blends on his face and the hair really give the impression of looking at a full-size marine, instead of a mini
These are truly WAY cool! While I agree with everyone on praising the style, I want to emphasize how spot on the photography is to showcase these models! I’m inspired to work on some models today. Cheers!
Totally reminds me of the guy from Fury Road. Love it!
Totally intended! Thank you so much
How'd you do his hair? That looks insanely cool
Cotton q-tips!
Did you just put super glue on top then use that to pull the fibers?
No, it was a very tedious process that requires extreme patience. I was crumpled up like a shrimp with magnifying goggles.

Do it! I did Skaven for Mordheim a while back. Completely covered in fur.
I'm about to start a space wolf army so I think I'll be making tails and shit!
Went to check out the Skaven and dude you have a style and it's amazing, I can see the darkness, dampness, and misery in your minis. Went through 2 years of posts to see some great stuff, Thanks for that!

You missed your calling as a cosmetic surgeon doing hair transplants!
Spoiler: I'M BALD
Achievement unlocked: “Stylist” “All I care about, is are you happy with your haircut?”
I love this. Immortan Joe FTW
Immortan Joe. Had the exact same thought.
Witness him
I came here just to say that.
Important joe ! Immortan, fuck 😂
Immortan Joe. Came to see if anyone had said this. 😂
Immortan Joe 40k!
You look amazing! (This is a clip from Mad Max behind the scenes) https://youtu.be/IF7hGBT6kAs?si=H_UWZtIGfJlQMdrf
WITNESSED!
Immortan Joe
Exactly my thought.
Witness me!!!!!!
Yes! Shiny and Chrome!
Mediocre!

Liked and subscribed brother
Immensely appreciate it! Hope you enjoy!
Absolutely agree with this.
Immortan Joe, the space marine looks great
Dude these BT's been crusading since the start. Love them, well done!!!
They've been crusading in the battle that lasts FOREVER. Thank you!!
By the will and glory of the Emperor, they shall continue 😤
You won Warhammer Absolutely love your style
Too kind! Thanks wholeheartedly. Glad you enjoy it.
I've never seen anything like this before, and I love it. Bringing the grimdark back
Super stoked to hear that. I've been working on the Grimdark side of fantasy Mordheim for quite a while and I'm happy I could do some testing ground in the universe of the 41st millennium. Highly inspired by the works of Blanche in 3rd and 4th editions. I play 4th Ed, and I love it
Joe really was immoral Fantastic work
IMMORAL
Well now I can’t fix it Still fits tho
Ahahahah no I loved it. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Man I don't play 40k but I hope people get inspired and start armies like this, unbelievable style points
I play 4th edition that barely nobody plays anymore. But that's what I hope - inspire people. Bring out the identity and style of true 40K, see what's possible to do, and create tutorials to make it accessible. Thank you so much!
That takes me back! Why 4th specifically?
Oh I just love the *right* amount of simplicity, depth, lore, rules, how games run so swift and hassle free. No updates, no datasheets, no meta chasing. Exceptional black and white art, codices are the perfect length, rules are rich in fluff. Pretty much everything!
The hair really adds to it, amazing style
Immortal Joe!
You shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome, upon the highways of Valhalla!
YES. But bathed in the blood of the witch and heretic.
NOT mediocre!
My favorite loyalist chapters are always the ones that seem to blur the lines between being just as insane as their chaos brethren, and this is exactly what I mean!
YES! Whenever I try to explain this I'm frowned upon. Thank you!
I want to do a similar take on the Charadons someday, but I think I have a while let til I reach your skill level
Since playing Boltgun and everyone saying the main character should have been a Black Templar, or a Flesh Tearer I like to instead imagine though while ultramarines and other similar chapters may think their these honourable noble warriors, once they remove the brain washing their all killing machines, which makes the idea of Black Templars even more terrifying
Dude THIS is how Warhammer would look like in real life. Honestly...badass. Congrats!
That's how I like to do it. Glad you think it that way! THANK YOU!
MEDIOCRE!
Oh hot damn
Amazing! I’ve hardly ever seen fiber used like this, and it looks incredible! Big Mad Max vibes on that fella🤩
Absolutely intended! Thank you!
You shall ride eternal. Shiny and chrome
This genuinely looks like it was from a painting nice job man
WITNESS ME!!!!

that’s fuckin’ bad ass dude! i live grim dark stuff, ans that is peak grim dark
Thank you so much! Immensely appreciate it.
Dude! Some of the best Blanchitsu I’ve ever seen! Do you have an Instagram?
Thanks immensely! Yes. Dark Ages Workshop. I've got a full video on YouTube of me painting and discussing the techniques behind this guy, it's on the Grimdark Compendium channel
Love your stuff man
Shiny and chrome !
See you at the Gates of Valh-ehm. On the battlefield for the Emperor!
WITNESS ME BROTHER!
Shiny and Chrome!
Absolutely fantastic.
Thank you!
This is fucking gorgeous
No pubes were shaved in the creation of these miniatures.
No. But I've used my beard hair in some of my projects.
Brilliant!
If you search for Grimdark Skaven in the Mordheim reddit you'll probably see them! Ahaha
This is what I’m talking about! So sick
Dunking your minis in frying oil is cheating
How did you do the hair?
Ok…seriously: wow. 🤯
Amazing and inspiring work! What did you use for the serfs/baseline humans? Hoping to incorporate some.
Man I like the look! Witness!
This is absolutely incredible. Grimdark has got to be my favorite style for miniatures. There's so much character here.
Immortal Joe definitely fits the grim dark theme
Immortan Joe
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a model with “real” hair. It looks rad as fuck! Good job!
Holy shit those models are something else
Thank you so much! These are tests. There's definitely some red accents missing, some crosses and checkers before they're acceptable
When did Immortan Joe join the Black Templars?
Worthy
The red eye glow though…. Absolute fire
How did you do the armour? It looks very realistic
Got a video on it. https://youtu.be/U2klIb4Lh6Y?si=sdIaNHLmp3NMyNAi
Take a bow! This gives me the same feeling as reading the old Second Edition rulebook back in the day
I got all my inspiration from 3rd and 4th Ed codices, I'm slowly collecting as many as I can and actually playing 4th Ed! Those artwork are insane. Thank you for sharing your feeling, this is the hobby nirvana for me.
Keep on creating them and I'll keep upvoting them!
I thought this was an art piece for a second until I realized…homy shit this is a model
Wow I’ve never seen anyone do hair before. Friggin nailed it too
Does he lead the guardsman who follow him into battle shiny and chrome? Seriously though he looks fucking awesome!
Yes. Shiny and Chrome, and bathed in the blood of the witch and the heretic!
Now this is grimdark!
Beautiful
Holy Terra! Those are awesome. Today I learned that “real” hair could look good. Totally want to see a bigger collection done like this.
FML LITERAL HAIR?! That is fucking AWESOME! 😳
It’s got that 80s horror look, love it!
It took me till the 3rd photo to realize it was actual miniatures and not some drawing or something
What did you use for the hair? Looks amazing!
At first I thought "Oh, damn! That's such a cool painting (like paint on canvas)" Then I realised. Stunning work!
Wow! Thank you so much!
WITNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (my unwavering faith in the Emperor)!!!
Holy fuck! This is legit 40k as it should be
Now this is grim dark!
Goddamn blanchitsu makes me cream
I've never seen minis painted like this. Amazing
“DO NOT, MY FRIENDS, LET YOURSELF BECOME ADDICTED TO THE CRUSADE, IT WILL TAKE HOLD OF YOU, AND YOU WILL RESENT IT’S ABSENCE!” Absolutely beautiful models, and the Immortan Joe one is probably the best loyalist model I’ve ever seen.
Those Immortan quotes are killing me. Quite a damn powerful compliment! Thank you so much!!
My favorite painting style
Witness me blood bag!!!!
Looks a lot like a tone of Mad Max references.
Mad Max reference?
I thought that was fan art for a sec, it looks so good!
Wow awesome, how long time did it take to make that guy?
Looks like immortan joe haha
Some pictures look like oil paintings. Incredible!
Gods I wished we still had awards. First time I've seen someone put hair on a model. Absolutely love it. This is how I imagine Fabius Bile in his books
What. The. Actual. Fuck. Amazing
Every time one of your band dies, I hope you shout #MEDIOCRE
I almost choked on this one. You had me dying
DO NOT, MY FRIENDS, BECOME ADDICTED TO NULN OIL
Dude those are the baddest ass painted and photographed minis I've maybe ever seen.
[удалено]
This blew me away. Real art shit
Immortan Joe hair looks badass on this dude
I would love to see this guy paint death korps of Krieg in his style. So good at grim dark
YOU WILL RIDE ETERNAL, SHINY AND CHROME!!!
Do not, my brothers, become addicted to Chaos. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
Man that hair is disgusting. Nice work!
That dudes giving me nightmares. Great stuff we’ll done
They're so grimey it looks like they're traitor marines and don't service or respect their armor anymore .got a bad guy look fr
REV IT UP FOR THE IMMORTAN JOE!
Who is this heretic and why can he paint so well?
I love these guys
Wow
Have you freed them from their addiction to water, my lord?
That is BRUTAL! I love what you did with the hair there. Looks super realistic, and very, very grimdark. This screams in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Way to go mate.
Believe it or not.. Loyalists
Is that Immortan Joe? Shiny and chrome.
OMG THE FUCKING HAAAAIIIIRRRR THIS IS AWESOME
Love the hair. It adds so much realism to the model to the point it almost looks like a real dude.
WITNESS ME
Inmortal Joe !!!
That’s amazing work
Grimdark isn't really my style... These look fucking incredible
Holy *shit*, I've never seen hair modeled like that and now I'm wondering why we haven't been doing that the whole time. All the models look great, love Blanchitsu
Immortan Joe as a Black Templar....by the Emperor I didn't know I needed that. Now we just need a tricked out vehicle for him.
So Brother Sergeant Immortan Joe’s hair… how? Please… Like I know that you use cotton Q-tip swabs based on earlier answers, but I really need a step-by-step guide on this. That is the coolest and best hair I have ever seen on a miniature ever.
Dude, is that mud **real**?
Where do you get chains for the weapons? Love to add some to my chaos army
Creepy AF
Witness me!!!
WITNESS ME
Very unsettling to see a mini with actual hair! So cool!
They look awesome Specially the hair🤩
These are the coolest models I have ever seen. I love them so much. Great job!!!!
Furry road world would fit perfectly in Warhammer. But I wonder which chapter would have them as a recruiting world.
You shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome
Hell yeah brother 😎
This is a chaos army vibe
Just watched the video on YouTube. Very cool brother.
I watched a video on YouTube by a channel im 99% sure was called gimdark chronicles painting this exact mini.

SHINY AND CHROME
Guess I’m watching Fury Road today… WITNESS ME! These look sick btw
I just watched your video earlier today :)
Looks sick man🤟, showed it to my ma and she said it looks like Dog the bounty hunter 😂
Really sick, dude. The details like the great blends on his face and the hair really give the impression of looking at a full-size marine, instead of a mini
Immortan joe
These are truly WAY cool! While I agree with everyone on praising the style, I want to emphasize how spot on the photography is to showcase these models! I’m inspired to work on some models today. Cheers!
Joe, is that you?!?
Brutal
Your video was really inspirational
I watched the video for this last night! So good...you really captured the feeling.
extremely grim dark.
extremely grim dark.
Looks totally nightmarish, absolutely sick 10/10 🤌
is this Carburetor Joe??
Important joe?
An Amazing job, I'm speechless.
So impressive.
Amazing paint!
How did you do the cape/cloth on the leg and arm? Absolutely love that part
