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.
Next up on Stahly’s Paint Station
It’s a bit quiet on Stahly’s Paint Station lately. Lots of stress and overtime at work this week. After finishing the Warp Lightning Cannon I just started to assemble the second half of the 30 rats strong Stormvermin regiment however. Once the Stormvermin are done,...
Hobby Purchases: New Brushes and Paints
I bought some new brushes and paint pots. Some colours I was running out and actually my first Vallejo Model Colour. Germany Grey is a great colour to highlight paint with and closes the gap between Adeptus Battlegrey and Chaos Black. On a side note,...
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting VI (finished)
So yeah, I finished the crew and put all the parts together and here it is, the finished Warp Lightning Cannon! Just needs some touch ups around the glueing areas and a varnish and it’s done! Of course I will take some professional pictures soon,...
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting V
The crew is pretty much finished, I just need to paint the leather and highlight the metal. Once the crew is done, all the parts of the Warp Lightning Cannon are painted and that means I’ll be able to put the model together this weekend!
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting IV
I made progress on painting the crew models. As you might notice, I’m going to paint the two slaves on the right with more bare skin and only slight patches of fur to make them look more miserable and nude. I will do the same...
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting III
So yeah, despite the lack of posts I wasn’t idle – I finished the barrel which was quite a bit of work with its plenty pieces of warpstone and all the light effects but I’m quite pleased with the result. I also started laying down...
The Monthly White Dwarf Review: September 2011
To my surprise I found the latest WD issues in my post box today, two days before the official release date. Maybe GW realised that punishing their loyal subscribers by sending them their copies later then everyone else was a stupid idea?If this is true...
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting II
I’m currently visiting my parents as I took some days off work. Painting time was sparse so far, but I try to finish the chassis tomorrow.
Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon Painting I
This is the boring part: painting all the metal fittings. Nothing spectacular to see yet, but it will be coming together next week.
Converted Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon
During the week after next I have holiday which is the perfect occasion to tackle another big model in my Skaven army: the Warp Lightning Cannon. My Stormvermin will have to wait a little bit before I can get back to them. I did a...
