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).
Tutorial: How to Paint Daemonettes
As promised my Daemonette tutorial! I kind of sticked to the studio paintjob, but wanted to add a little more contrast. I made the hair and the robes more pink because what would Slaanesh be without pink? Also I added a little bit of turqouise...
Even more Eldar Guardians
So I started work on another batch of Guardians. I drybrushed their bases together with the recent batch and did the shading of the armour today.

So I finished the batch of Guardians I was working on. The first batch can be viewed here. This means that half of the squad is done! Left to do are four more Defenders, a Weapon Platform and a Warlock. Before I’m painting that, I’m...
Eldar Guardians Final Spurt
So this is the status on the Guardians, the majority is done. What I need to do now is to paint the black areas, finish the helmets, do some corrections, paint the base trim and then they are done!
Glowing Warpstone, Scource Lighting Mini-Tutorial
Inspired by the Vermin Lord ‘Eavy Metal Masterclass some time ago in White Dwarf, I decided that I want glowing Warpstone in my Skaven army as well. As the bulk of the army will be painted in a more basic style than my Eldar or...
