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).

New Fire Prism Conversion Idea

Of course I will get one of the beautiful new Fire Prism/Nightspinner kits. I really like how they completely rethought the shape of the turret, more in line to the Forgeworld Mark II kits. However I’m not sure on the long barreled Prism Cannon, so…

Progress of the Wave Serpent

The hull is done, as well as the underbody. The underbody is my favourite piece of Eldar tanks to paint, because it’s just primed black and then drybrushed. Highlighting the underneath structure by hand would drive me insane. I also started work on the field…

Fire Prism/Nightspinner Sprue Pics

Looks nice, note the details on the back door. Unfortunately again no Holofield parts, and it will be difficult to upgrade old tanks with the Vectored/Star Engine parts. Now I’m really looking forward for the other Eldar Spearhead release! Source

Wave Serpent: Painting started

Started work on the top hull part of the Wave Serpent. Highlights are applied by hand, so the model will take some time to finish. Unlike my Falcon, I used proper masking tape from Tamiya this time. Nevertheless, applying the pattern to the cockpit area…

German boardgame and RPG publisher Pegasus Spiele distributes rebranded Reaper Master Series Colours in Germany. As I already blogged, I got some samples from them and reviewed them for Brückenkopf. Along with some paint swatches, you can read the review in German here. I will…
