Dunk has been painting miniatures since 1989, driven by his love of storytelling and narrative. Although an army painter at heart, he has painted a wide variety of models and scenery over the years, including Kill Teams and D&D figures. When he's not painting, he's enjoying sci-fi with his cat, Starbuck, and drawing inspiration from the Black Library. With years of experience, Dunk is excited to share his knowledge and passion for narrative-driven projects with you.

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.
