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.
Welcome to Tale of Painters!
Stahly’s Paint Station is no more, long live Tale of Painters! I teamed up with other great painters and army collectors – say hello to our new authors Garfy and Sigur! You may know my mates from various forums, Sigur runs a commission painting service...

Skaven Stormvermin Painting XVI
Update on painting these guys. Did the green hoods, highlighted the grey clothing and applied the rust. They still look messy at this stage though. On a side note, welcome to my 200th follower! I’m really proud so many people like my blog and follow...
Skaven Stormvermin Painting XV
After lots of assembling, finally some more painting! I did the basecoating for Stormvermin No. 16 to 20.
Ultramarines Terminator Seargent Conversion
I assembled the missing Seargent from the Close Combat Terminators I painted some time ago. I think the looks really badass. I used a tabbard from the Grey Knights Terminator sprue and filled the gaps with Green Stuff. It adds a lot of bulk and...
Skaven Stormvermin Assembling
My spare time is pretty sparse at the moment, but I continue to assemble the second half of my Stormvermin regiment. I even did a little conversion for the Fangleader that was inspired by a picture in the Skaven Army Book. I carefully cut of...
