While I’m putting the last finishing touches to my Devastator Squad, I prepared the next model to be reworked: the classic Jes Goodwin Marneus Calgar in Power Armour sculpt. Apart from the paint job I’ll refine, I also added a new scenic 32mm base and a large banner (comes from the Ironclad Dreadnought, the banner top from the Ultramarines chapter upgrade sprue). I’ll recreate Calgar’s iconic banner design as a freehand, so watch this space!

Stahly lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany. He has been involved with Warhammer since childhood and has painted several armies and countless warbands and kill teams over the decades. When he's not painting miniatures incredibly slowly, he's writing tutorials and testing the latest miniature paints, hobby tools and kits. He founded Tale of Painters to pass on his knowledge and bring inspiration to your hobby.
looking forward to the finished product. It's a classic mini!
Really excited to see the freehand work. Any tips on how to prepare the paints for this kind of work?
I probably have a very unusual style of freehanding. I often base them on custom printed decals and paint them like I would do a miniature – starting with the darkest colour like a base paint, then apply highlights. I just use regular paint with a little bit of water, no difference really.
How about drilling the bolter barrels while you're at it?
I will 😉
Aw yes, such a classic sculpt. Can't wait to see your work on the banner!
