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).

Harlequin Test Model Finished

I finished the test model and I am quite pleased with the overall look. The increased amount of turquoise makes them look exotic even amongst the other Eldar. I also started with the next two Harlequins (armed with Fusion Pistols) and did the red clothing.
