Topsy
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.

Hey there, I am Jörg, and I got the chance to show some of my models, hope you will enjoy my first post on Tale of Painters! Today I got a variety of Orruk troops to share – Bonesplitterz, Ironjawz and Greenskinz. Check them out after...
Showcase: Blood Bowl Ogre by Lecoqadoodledo
Lecoqadoodledo back again, but with some Blood Bowl this time. I’ve had my Ogre sitting around since it came out earlier in the year, and I finally decided to just get it painted last week. Brikk joins my Ostermark Comets, and has performed decently in...
Showcase: Scythes of the Emperor Intercessor by Lecoqadoodledo
Hey guys, Lecoqadoodledo back with another Primaris test model. This is the last one though, as I’m pretty set on doing a Scythes of the Emperor force. The inspiration came from both the awesome colour scheme, and the fact that they are the most deserving...
Showcase: Death Guard Plague Marine on Display Base by Aurélie
Hello, Aurélie is back with another model from Dark Imperium: a Plague Marine on a custom built display. Check out more angles after the jump. I imagined the Plague Marine striding over a battlefield which has seen lots of combat. I put a couple...
Showcase: Ultramarines Primaris Lieutenant by Aurélie
Hi all, it’s Aurélie. Today I present one of the Primaris Lieutenants from the Dark Imperium starter set. Lovely, straightforward model to paint. I chose a bright, eye-catching blue and a simple paint scheme to make him stand out on the battlefield. The model is mounted...
Showcase: Eldar Farseer of Biel-Tan by Lecoqadoodledo
Lecoqadoodledo here with my most recent display piece. Originally I intended to enter this in Golden Demon, but was unable to finish it in time. So when I got back from the UK in early June, I set about getting this guy finished, using it...
Showcase: Blood Raven Primaris Marine by Lecoqadoodledo
Hey guys, Lecoqadoodledo here with a recent project. I and several others were asked to paint up a Primaris Marine each for our local store, in various schemes to show off the new sculpt. I decided on Blood Ravens because I’ve always liked the colour...
Showcase: Lord of the Rings The Three Hunters & Warriors of the Dead by FruitBear
Hey there everyone! I’m really excited to be sharing this with all of you. Here we have my 750 point army for a Lord of the Rings tournament I participated in not long ago. It includes the Three Hunters and the Warriors of the Dead!...
Showcase: Lord of the Rings Legolas Greenleaf by FruitBear
Hey there everyone, following my last post on Gimli we finally have the Mirkwood prince himself, Legolas. I left him last to paint as I knew he would take the longest to paint and I was right! I hoped some lessons I learnt from painting...
Showcase: Lord of the Rings Gimli by FruitBear
Hey there everyone, following my last post here’s Gimli, son of Gloin the second of the Three Hunters. I tried to stick to the original colour scheme with some reference material from the movies as well as having internet references from other talented individuals that...
