Stahly
Stahly lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany. He has been involved with Warhammer since childhood and has painted several armies and countless warbands and kill teams over the decades.

He founded Tale of Painters to pass on his knowledge and bring inspiration to your hobby.
