Witness Me! SHINY and CHROM-atic Black Armor for BLACK TEMPLARS | Grimdark-Blanchitsu style

- Standard-intermediate fast recipe that I'll use for my Black Templars army.
A blend of two worlds - my love for the irrational chaotic Blanchitsu mentality and feel, and the technical nuances of the Grimdark Compendium style. The look was indeed inspired by Immortan Joe. Check out how I did it!

I have never seen anyone add hair to a mini - it really elevates this figure. Great job.
When I got hit with that idea I could not un-see it. Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to add hair for years, and I only did it once and it was awesome. I just haven’t figured out the best way to do it but I definitely like this route. I have exactly the rift lot models on my desk to do it too!
I've never thought about doing this but now I've seen it it makes so much sense. Gives me mad max vibes.
The hair does alot
Have you seen the lion mini he did? Squirrel fur cape
“You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!” -Black Templar Sergeant
AHAHAH Reminds me of Marauder Shields - Mass Effect 3.
He really does look like Immortan Joe lmao. I can't unsee that now haha.
through my deeds, i honor you, V8.... uuuhm i mean almighty emperor
@@DarkAgesWorkshophe died so that our hopes could live
Words alone can't explain how awesome this is man, you are an amazing conversion artists 💪🏻
Words of gold. You're too kind. Thank you so much!

i thought the thumbnail was an artwork, which says a lot about the quality of these minis. great idea adding actual hair, i've never seen that before. i know you were inspired by john blanche's art for this project but i think your style really evokes the works of clint langley as well
Oh absolutely those artworks are STELLAR. Thank you, that means a lot!
@@DarkAgesWorkshop no problem man, it's nice seeing someone so effectively reference the artwork when creating their miniatures, it seems an obvious thing to do but most people just seem to imitate other hobbyists rather than being inspired by a style from a different medium (or in this guy's case, two different media)
Thanks for sharing this artist, I am looking forward to painting my Warhammer Old World Orcs and Goblins army in a grimdark style and this artist has some EPIC orcs for 40K. Thanks mate and have a lovely day/night.
@@aldaron1021 oh no problem buddy. yeah clint's great, i first heard of him through 2000ad, he did the art for sláine sometimes and i was blown away by his style. later on i found he'd done a shedload of 40k art too and i found that even more impressive. some of the best renders of astartes, orks, inquisitors & rogue traders i've seen and they fit the grimdark brief perfectly :)
"Embrace the chaotic process" What is this heresy? This turned out really good! I've been looking for a grimdark look like this for my Black Templars.
Eeeeh that was not a wise choice of words ahahah
The hair just really changes everything. That single feature alone puts all the other modeling details you added into context. You don't just look at him and wonder if he is a chaos marine, you now understand that he is as you describe: a brutal maniac with unbridled fanaticism.
I'm blown away, these are some of the most interesting and artistic templars I've ever seen... wow. The hair idea was brilliant, as is the all the variance in textures and finishes going on throughout the models. I'm pretty excited to try some of these techniques on my own Templars now... Thanks for sharing your process, really top-notch work you've got here.
This is the perfect example of “trust the process”. It looks amazing!
Yeah it's easy being thrown off at the start, but everything comes together. Thank you!
I never realised how effective the mixing of multiple mediums can work even with the same color hues. The black armor uplifted with "black" varnish is amazing when you start rolling the light over it and see all the different textures and spotting of black thats on it. Thats a lesson im taking with me this time, i really want to try this out.
Amazing chaos space marines.
Well, they aren’t. Those are supposed to be black templars. But in Warhammer you never know who is really who…
This was incredible!
He really does look like Immortan Joe.
You've earned yourself a subscriber.
This is the most amazing and encouraging tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you.
hey me too! it was super encouraging , whatever your planning to do you got this !
Captured the original artwork perfectly 💀 the execution is killer. Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing. Your work is so inspiring.
Thank you, immensely appreciated!
You guys made me comeback to the hobby im so glad to study from you
It's a honor - keep it up, share your work!
Rumors are that Blood Angels are getting a mini refresh later this year. Bookmarking this for Death Company!
Oh! Let's hope for some characterful sculpts.
Reminder ;)
I think this is my favourite space mairne miniature. The grim dark look and feel is just perfect. So good. And your video style and presentation was just as good! Matched the miniature and the vibe perfectly. This was a joy to consume. 20 mins well spent. Much love and keep at it! Earned a new sub
Cool
That paint job really illustrates how horrifying the Imperium would be to aliens who are attacked by it
Or anybody, really.
I never seize to be amazed by your paint jobs. Awesome job!!
Love this so much. This fuels my growing fascination with the grim dark. I met John Blanche when I was 15 at golden demon he was by far the most interesting, complicated person there a genius in plan site. Thanks for bringing this to the forefront for me, keep doing what you do.
Awesome work! It definitely gives off a strong John Blanche and Immortan Joe look, well done mate!
Hell yeah.🤘That's so beautiful. The hair takes it to a whole other level. P.S. I appreciated the Brother Robert Ross quote at the end.
Wow that’s amazing! I’ve never seen or considered adding hair to minis like that in all my years in the hobby! Maestoso!
There's been some use of these materials for quite some time! I did all sorts of stuff with hair. Skaven, strange creatures, fur pelts.
Thank you so much!
My jaw hurts. I just watched this whole video with my mouth open. This is AMAZING!
Maybe the best space marine I've ever seen. Big highlights for me:
- Carrion Crimson is looking more and more appealing the more I see it used. The stray pigments in there are absolutely next level for skin.
- The black ink + satin varnish mixture stippled on... So good. It looks like raindrops from the decayed and polluted urban environment have started falling in the last few minutes, leaving gross damp splotches all over the armor. Such a good effect.
- I would love a more in-depth look at your process for hair - it's a challenge I want to undertake at some point and would love the see the process from start to finish.
Thank you for your comment and insight!
We have a couple of hair tutorials on the Grimdark Compendium, among other things. The number of videos there is absolutely humongous.
As for Villainy Inks, yes, some of those are absolute top level
@@DarkAgesWorkshop I'm a subscriber and was looking for something that would cover hair the other day. Know off the top of year head which series had it?
@@hardtailgang Mordheim EP9 - Skaven for sure! It's the most clear and detailed.
And also Dark Angels EP2.
@@DarkAgesWorkshop Thank you!!
Love it, the hair just blew me away, such a great idea and well executed!
The whole mini looks incredible, but that hair is just next level! Amazing work, dude :)
''witness me'' my friend.. awesome work thank you
Ahah. Yeah couldn't resist making that reference and lots of people recognized it, Immortan Joe has such an iconic style. Thank you!
DAMN! Now that there is a grimdark model if i've ever seen one. I'm thoroughly impressed and more than a little inspired by your work here. Incredible job.
You Sir, are most awesome.
I just ordered all the Villainy Inks.
Oh thank you immensely.
Good choice! They are impressive products.
Honestly, the best templars I’ve ever seen. You’re making me wanna pick up the brush again 😩
Adding hair is such a genius idea. I'll use it myself on some scalps. Thanks for the useful suggestion
So Great! I was waiting for that look without knowing it! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I really love the hair! I found this channel accidentally while researching dolls for dollhouse miniatures, but this is amazing!! 🖤
That's awesome
Strands from the qtip is genius.
Insanely awesome modeling and painting - true inspiration!!! 😯👍👍👍
I’ve been wanting to add hair for years but didn’t know that the whole damn time all I needed was a q-tip. 🤦♂️
Amazing (I know what I’m doing when I get home lol)
I'd really like to see some of these models on a game table under regular lighting.
I'll take a group photo whenever I get the occasion of playing again with friends at 4th Ed, with battle mat and scenery
My guess is the head is from a old (regular) tactical marines box.
that appears to be exactly where it is from.
That is METAL! You have inspired me to try this!
what glue did you use for the hair ? I have been thinking about adding hair to a few of my models but was not sure how to do it. I thought it was coconut fiber,now I see I can just use cotton, very clever . I thought I was going to make a trip to the craft store . thank you for this inspiring video
perfection! Im so happy there´s a Grimdark community!
We're glad too! Thanks for your support
Can anyone advise on the name of the music userd in this video.
It goes very well with the brutal, sinister look of these Templars.
It's the music from the Grimdark Compendium. Either written by us or by friends by commission. We'll think about releasing some tracks in the future to download
Man that hair application was really cool. Great video over all too.
These are badass John Blanche and Adrian Smith were the goats
100% agree on that!
Utterly stunning. This is the dream right here! Amazing!
Adding the hair to that mini just put it right over the edge amazing job man ima try this with a mini thank you for the idea!cheers man
FUCK this looks amazing. Not something i personally would do as i am just starting to get into weathering and diverting from a cleaner style but still. An inspiration to be sure.
Incredible artwork! Hats off!! You nail it
This is 40K personified... the music is superb.
Absolutely stunning my friend I’m in awe , regards Phil,
Kind regards! Thanks for your comment and appreciation
Amazing!!!! I’m 100% going to start putting hair and materials on for fur on my models from now on!
This is legit my favorite mini ever. You could make a print of that end picture of it and people would buy it. Amazing
Thank you so much!
I believe the Head is from an old Chaos space marines Kit, Im painting an Old Csm army and came across this exact Head
Amazing work!!! The bare head with the respirator I believe is from the 3rd edition Tactical Squad seargent! I've still got one in my bitz box, too!
Thank you so much! I got it from an ebay batch so much time ago, I couldn't find any info on where that came from. Gold! Thank you immensely! Hope you enjoyed the videk
I’m getting mad max vibes and i am all for it! So sick.
Absolutely love this painting style. Truly captures the horrific and bleak nature of 40k. Looking forward to attempting something similar on my Deathwatch army. Thankyou for the tutorials.
Ive seen people use thin mesh wire as hair but I've never seen actual hair being used. Well done my friend, that is truly a Blanchitsu certified mini, additionally i can see imorten joe amongst the templars.
This is the grimdark crossover I never knew I wanted. Thanks! It seems so obvious in retrospect but never would have occurred to me.
Awesome! Glad to know you like it!
That was a very fun watch, especially since I am looking to get into the grimdark style with some Black Templars I haven’t started painting yet. I do think going with the “box art” colors of red for weapon casings and the shoulder pauldron trim for sergeants would have made that model pop even more. The hair looked really cool, but as sons of Dorn, I think the Black Templars might be among the least likely marine chapters to have such “impractical” hair!
Yes, correct! Monks/crusaders/knights also used to have long hair. BTs wouldn't sport them to be perfectly honest, but when I envisioned it I just couldn't resist trying it out. Thanks for your insight!
@@DarkAgesWorkshop It's definitely an evocative look. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that guy.
Really like this. And the hair just adds to the grim, dark, feeling
Went for a deranged, maniacal warlord look. Thank you!
You’ve smashed it mate. The addition of the hair is a game changer!
Awesome, thank you immensely!
Absolutely unhinged. Perfect.
Exactly how I like it. Glad it clicked with you!
Brilliant! And so much fun. This is true hobby nirvana.
🙌 Exactly my friend. That's what I love about the hobby. Glad you embraced the underlying mood under it.
So satisfying
Just stunning! Awesome work!
Thanks! 🙏
Man this looks so freaking awesome.
The Imortan Joe hair really sets it off. Chefs kiss. 👨🍳
Unique and compelling. I enjoyed watching and was inspired.
That's what's important! Awesome. Just letting you know that on the Grimdark Compendium we have tons of tutorials like this. Thanks!
So sad that we have no more access to you grim dark Emperor children video anymore. I bought the killteam chaos space marine just to paint them as yours... 😢
Absolutley Love the idea of the Hair... why I never thought of this in 20 Years XD
I'll use it for some of my CSM!
Where can you buy the hair from ?
Insanely Amazing!!!
Nice work, would like to see a Raven Guard paint job, always pictured BT's in Matt Black. But like your interpretation
I saw your post on reddit earlier today - incredible work
Great work.
That hair... awesome.
Imagine playing against someone who has a whole army build/painted this way...
I'll take some shots on a gaming table when it's done!
@@DarkAgesWorkshopWould love to see that.
Also... What would happen if you would apply your skillset to some of the more
'nasty' Marines? Like Emporers Children or *Night Lords*
@@Cainite We have a guide to Emperor's Children on our website Grimdark Compendium and we're uploading it also on RUclips premium membership. Although they are more technical with tutorials that go more in depth.
What about Night Lords? Well... We might consider it in the future, request for those has been insane. I have a couple of cool ideas already!
Such an interesting process to watch.
great work, you captured it all !
absolutely awesome!
This is a great tutorial thanks for the insight!
Loved this. Thank you!
The addition of the hair takes this model over the top!
I totally want to know how to make the hair!
Man, I thought your thumbnail was original artwork and you were going to try to mimic it. Incredible!
That Immortan Joe hair was a stroke of genius!
I am very impressed with this, I think I've watched the vid 3 times now just looking over all the different things you did. Thank you for sharing the process.
I am interested in the vid/photography in the Grimdark style, does anyonr know of any good tutorials on that?
C’est un très beau travail le rendu est juste extraordinaire mais on s’éloigne des fils de l’empereur ils ressemble plus à des renégats adorateurs des dieux du chaos.
Les Space-marines entretiennent une relation particulière avec leur équipement donc jamais leurs armures seraient laissées dans un état de délabrement si avancé.
Mais pour du Space-marine du chaos c’est plus adapté.
Mais encore une fois beau rendu.
really love this style. would go hard on abbadon the despoiler!
While this paintjob is way too slumpy for me personally, I admire your creativity and outcome of this project.
I totally understand! I initially wanted a tabletop standard, and a process that is creative and just flows for me and my way of interpreting the aesthetic and chaos of battles of WH40K.
I love the pure mayhem of Blanchitsu and the nuanced, technical part of Grimdark.
So I tried to make a mix of both! It's indeed not for everyone and not a very clean job, but that's something I declared to myself from the start, so I was at peace with myself (and that's often a hard condition to meet).
Cheers! Thanks for your input!
Please tell me what material you used for the rags on the knee and left pauldron?
PS Truly a perfect miniature, great work, y'all at the GDC are pioneers and visionaries
Fantastic work mate, hit it out the park one again.
Thank you!
Badass brotha!
Beautiful, just Beautiful
Absolutely sick!! Although I fail to understand the purpose of the several different airbrush coats in the beginning as none of them will show through, but the end result is phenomenal anyways.
Temperature control. I need to do it for my cogs to start turning. And also, as I say in the video, in this way I can decide on-the-fly if I want to use transparent or covering colors, and in the first case, I will benefit from the temp control.
Could you expand a bit on how you did the hair like that? Did you just unravel q tip? Curious how you got it to stay together
this has given me a mad idea.... do this... but all over skaven.
Such a great style. I would love to do that with chaos chosen too but i feel they are too busy with brass rims, skulls, icons etc not sure if the finish is what i want :S
