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.

A movement tray for my Skavenslaves – spectacular, isn’t it? 😉 By the way, I did a tutorial for magnetic movement trays like this a while ago – check it out here!

Assembling the Hell Pit Abomination
I’m still putting together Skaven models for some good painting fun over the next couple of weeks… and here is the Hell Pit Abomination. This model is stunning, breathtaking, maybe the best large model I’ve ever assembled. So much thoughtfulness and creativity went into the...
Converted Warlock Engineer with Doom Rocket
Today I did a conversion I had in mind for quite a while now: a Warlock Engineer with Doom Rocket! Inspired by the artwork in the Skaven Uniforms & Heraldry book I used the gunner from the Island of Blood Warpfire Thrower team, a rocket...
Skavenslaves Assemble!
With the Ultramarines Seargent out of the way, it’s time for more scurrying goodness ehrm badness. Today I built a unit of 25 Skavenslaves. With only two pieces they came together very quickly. I used only the unarmoured bodies from the Clanrats sprue and gave...
Ultramarines Terminator Seargent finished
And there he is. He just needs a coat of varnish before he’ll be ready to smash some heads. I’m taking proper pictures of the whole squad soon. There will also be a tutorial.
Ultramarines Terminator Seargent Painting
Update from the Paint Station: I finished the armour and the golds of the Terminator Seargent. I’m taking pictures of each painting step for the tutorial, so stay tuned!
