Stahly
The mysterious masked Stahly is the founder and mastermind of Tale of Painters. Hailing from Craftworld Germany, he has been walking the Path of the Warhammer Collector since childhood. Over the decades, he has painted multiple armies and countless warbands and miniatures. When he's not painting miniatures or working on his library of hand-painted colour swatches, he's testing the latest paints, tools and model kits with German precision and a no non-sense attitude.
Alternative for Citadel Burnt Grass (dark brown static grass)?
Hi guys, for an upcoming project I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to Citadel Burnt Grass. I was searching the web back and forth for another supplier of dark brown static grass, but all I was able to find was static grass with a dryed...
Eldar Prince Yriel finished!
After a good painting session yesterday, Yriel is now finished apart for some more applications of Microsol on the transfers and a coat of varnish. I did the banners yesterday, the left one is made with transfers, the right one is a freehand of the...
WIP: Eldar Prince Yriel #4
Yriel’s body is almost done, apart from fixing somer minor mistakes and adding some static grass. The turquoise blue gems and runes add another splash of colour to the paint scheme, and I think it really adds up. Next up is the backpack with the...

WIP: Eldar Prince Yriel #3
I made a big leap forward on Yriel. I did the wraithbone, the face, the hair, the leather and the silvers. Currently I’m working on the golds. I should be able to finish them in the next couple of days! What do you think, how...
First opinion: The new Citadel paint range
Today we’ve seen the unveiling of the new Citadel paint range. There is a lot of confusion about the new paints. Why did they change all the names? Are there no more Foundation paints and Washes? Will I be able to find equivalencies for my...
Official Paint Conversion Chart for the new Citadel Colours
This is the official conversion chart for the new Citadel paint range. Remember these are only close comparisons as the paint formula is new! For example, Caliban Green is suggested for both Orkhide Shade and Dark Angels Green, which are two very different greens. The...
WIP: Eldar Prince Yriel #2
I finished the purple cloak and now I’m almost done painting the red armour. I really enjoy the painting so far, I think he’ll look great when he’s finished. What do you think – Yriel in a Saim-Hann paint scheme, yay or nay?
Showcase: Eldar Fire Dragons of Saim-Hann
Finally proper group shots of my recently finished Fire Dragons squad! I really like them, with their limited palette they integrate nicely in my Saim-Hann Eldar army. The dark reddish brown armour turned out just how I wanted. Another shot after the jump. And these...
