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.
Showcase: Word Bearers Contemptor Dreadnought by Silvernome
Hey everyone, Silvernome here back with more Chaos Legion goodness! I’ve always been a fan of the Chaos Legions, but since I mostly play Death Guard and Thousand Sons I never really have had the chance to paint the other Legions without building out a...

Showcase: 2nd Edition Blood Angels Sergeant by Rich
Hi all, Rich here back again with another ‘retro’ mini. This is my take on a classic veteran sergeant model. I remember seeing him painted up as a Blood Angel in White Dwarfs from the mid/early 90s and really liking how much character the model...

Showcase: Lord of the Rings Nazgûl of Dol Guldur by Rich
If He had a name, it’s long since been lost. He would have been known only as a servant of evil. One of a number, one of nine. Here are my Nine, a project that started two years ago on the New Years open day...
Showcase: Gloomspite Gitz Mangler Squigs by Aurélie
Hey, it’s Aurélie, hope you’re having a great new year so far. I’m back with these bouncing Mangler Squigs. Find out more after the jump. I basecoated the squigs with an airbrush, and also used an airbrush for shading. The highlights were than built up...
Tale of Tuesdays: Arcane Month 2 – Thundrik’s Profiteers
Hi (ho, hi ho), Arcane here with the second instalment of my #TaleofTuesdays Underworlds post. Engage aetheric engines and take off with me after the jump. Following Garfy’s example I’m back on track and hit the deadline. I’ve finished all five members of Thundrik’s Profiteers....
