Stahly

Stahly is the founder of Tale of Painters. He lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, where he walks the Path of the Graphic Designer. He transitioned from Lego to Games Workshop models at the tender age of 11 and didn't look back ever since. He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).

Painting Sanguinan Guard

I’m painting two Sanguinan Guard at the moment. Awesome models with jawdropping details for plastic. As my Blood Angels tutorial proved to be very popular, I’m going to do a tutorial for them as well.

Venerable Dreadnought Assembling

Even more assembling, I couldn’t resist to build the plastic Venerable Dreadnought I bought some time ago. As you can see, he will be from the shooty kind with a Missile Launcher from the regular Cybot kit. I didn’t like both of the leg armour…

Harlequins finished and Sanguinan Guard

I finally finished my first Harlequin squad of five, they just need to be hit with some matte varnish. The next days I’m going to build some new stuff to paint. I started with two Sanguinan Guards, which were kindly provided byBrückenkopf chief editor SiamTiger….
