Indeed, I’m still working on batch two. These Wracks take freaking ages to paint – so many different textures. This is the other side of Citadel Miniatures getting more and more detailed – painting takes longer and longer, too. These models are close to being finished though. I need to refine the skin and touch up any inperfections, et voila.

Did you have had models that looked easy to paint in the beginning, but took longer than expected?

The mysterious masked Stahly is the founder and mastermind of Tale of Painters. Hailing from Craftworld Germany, he has been walking the Path of the Warhammer Collector since childhood. Over the decades, he has painted multiple armies and countless warbands and miniatures. When he's not painting miniatures or working on his library of hand-painted colour swatches, he's testing the latest paints, tools and model kits with German precision and a no non-sense attitude.
Everything looks easy to paint! My boy had the same problems with the centurions as well.
Very nice work as always Stahly; your miniatures always look so clean and sharp. Space Marine Centurions are very deceptive – from the front they look simple enough, with bulky armour and lots of flat surfaces, but the back is a different story; plenty of overlapping mechanical detail, cables and pipes. You have to be quite selective about how you assemble them in order to reach all of the detail!
