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).
The Army Painter Colour Primers
As you’ve probably noticed from my tutorial, I extensively use Army Painter Colour Primers. They are a huge time saver. Today I published an in-depth review of them on Brückenkopf in case you haven’t already checked out. It’s in German, but maybe my english-speaking visitors...
Eldar Guardian Batch finished
I’m back at home and finished the three Guardians I took to my parents. After this little Eldar intermezzo I’m going to continue work on the Venerable Dreadnought. After the Dreadnought there will be seven more Guardians, a weapon platform and a Warlock of course.
Eldar Guardians almost finished
I’ve worked on them like mad in the last few days, and they are almost done except for some mistakes that need to be corrected and the rim of the base. I’m still at my parents’ house, so sorry for the bad picture quality. You...

Some Eldar Guardians
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’m staying at my parents this week. However I took paints, brushes and some Guardians with me 🙂 So far I painted the bases and shaded the armour on this batch.
Showcase: Sanguinary Guard
Painted these two Sanguinary Guard for fun. A tutorial will follow later this week! I think the Glaive Encarmaine turned out quite cool and the deep purplish red makes the models more round thant the turquoise blades of the ‘Eavy Metal version.
Venerable Dreadnought legs
Quick update on the Venerable Dreadnought. Finished the legs and moved to the body.

Sanguinary Guard done!
Done, at last. The wings took really long to paint, a lot of feathers to highlight. I’m really fond of the colour choice on the Glaive Encarmaine. Expect the tutorial and a high quality showcase sometimes next week 🙂 I also stripped some Eldar Guardians...
Eldar: Harlequins Showcase
High quality pictures of the first batch of my Harlequins. I’ve still got five left, including a Death Jester and a Shadowseer, but as they take quite long to paint, I decided to save them up for a later time. The paint scheme is totally...
