About / The Painters

Tale of Painter is an unofficial Warhammer hobby magazine and painting blog. Since 2011, we bring you free tutorials, in-depth reviews, and stunning pictures of our painted miniatures for your inspiration. The works of our contributors have been featured in White Dwarf, Warhammer Visions, and on Warhammer Community numerous times.

We are a group of like-minded hobbyists who love painting and collecting Citadel miniatures, just like you. We pride ourselves to put a lot of effort into our articles, tutorials, and photography, to bring you the best possible content. Blogging and writing about our hobby is a labour of love that we do in our spare time, after our day jobs. Tale of Painters is completely free, but if you would like to support our work, join us on Patreon for extra content and sneak peeks.

You can also help us out by ordering your next hobby purchases from our affiliate partners Wayland Games and Element Games (if you live in Europe or the UK) or GameNerdz (United States). Using our affiliate links won’t cost you anything at all, but we’ll receive a small kickback we will use to cover our monthly hosting costs and invest in our gear to bring you even better pictures and videos.

Are you a tabletop, gaming, or scale modelling company with an interesting product for our audience? Get in touch to arrange a cooperation or product review.

Stahly is the founder of Tale of Painters. He lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, where he walks the Path of the Graphic Designer. He transitioned from Lego to Games Workshop models at the tender age of 11 and didn't look back ever since. He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).
