Stahly
Stahly lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany. He has been involved with Warhammer since childhood and has painted several armies and countless warbands and kill teams over the decades. When he's not painting miniatures incredibly slowly, he's writing tutorials and testing the latest miniature paints, hobby tools and kits. He founded Tale of Painters to pass on his knowledge and bring inspiration to your hobby.
Showcase: Venerable Dreadnought
I haven’t forgotten this one. Finally proper pictures of my Ultramarines Venerable Dreadnought. The Venerable Dreadnought is a very well thought out kit and packed full of options. Sadly, not all of them look that good. As I am a graphic designer in real life,...
The Next Tutorial Shall Be…

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...
The Quest for a Proper Skaven Fur Colour
For my Skaven army I’m in desperate need for a suitable fur colour. I don’t like the Scorched Brown/Bestial Brown of the studio army. Bestial Brown is a very intense brown quite a bit red/orange in it. I’m looking for a more natural greyish brown....
Further Eldar Guardian Painting
Did the shading of the bodysuits today. This step always takes quite long as there is a lot of cleaning up involved.
