Topsy (short for Tale of Painters System) is our little skull-shaped servitor mascot. Here at Tale of Painters, he (she? it? they?) looks after all the posts that don't have a specific author from our editorial team. These include, for example, guest posts, announcements, status updates, or summaries.
Showcase: Thousand Sons Infantry by Aurélie
Hey there, Aurélie back with one of my biggest commission project ever – a huge Thousand Sons army, painted to my best quality level. This time we have a look at the infantry – Rubric Marines, Tzaangors, and Horrors of all varieties. Check them out...
Showcase: Shadespire Steelheart’s Champions by Lecoqadoodledo
Hello all, Lecoqadoodledo here! Just like pretty much all the other Painters here, I too have been riding the Shadespire train. I fell in love with the Stormcast sculpts when they were initially revealed, and knew I had to paint them as soon as possible....
Showcase: Space Wolves Lone Wolf by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. This guy was a pretty fun model to paint. I really enjoyed painting the woad markings in his face, and in general painting the face was a blast as it was ripped from a Chaos Marauder...
Showcase: World Eaters Sergeant by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. This is a completed test model for a 30k World Eaters army I started. I didn’t end up really painting many models for the force but I managed to get a few done up. This was...

Showcase: Space Wolves Wolf Lord on Thunder Wolf by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. I really enjoyed painting and building this beast! I used a ton of bits from different kits to create my Warlord. I tried to make him look older but still badass, so I chose the eye...
Showcase: Space Wolves Rhino by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with one of my Rhinos! I really liked the Repressor kit from Forgeworld, and decided that I wanted to mix some Adeptus Sororitas, and Wolves together. I also used a few wolf icons to make it fit into my army even more.
Showcase: Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. Here’s my Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought! I thoroughly enjoyed painting this model as it completed my small force. I started playing this guy in mid 7th edition and everybody kept asking me why I’d bother playing...
Showcase: Space Wolves Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with my Wolf terminators. I decided to use the wolf style helmet from the Grey Hunters kit to make the wolf Terminators look a little more different from the rest. In addition, I trimmed off one barrel of each Storm Bolter, and replaced...
