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.
The Monthly White Dwarf Review: July 2011
Finally my suscription copy arrived! I aimed to provide the earliest White Dwarf review on the net under this heading but I hope you like my reviews anyway. The Good Stuff: Designer Notes for Storm of Magic; new Stratagems for Cities of Death; Dark Eldar...
Skaven Stormvermin Assembling I
After finishing the Ultramarines Captain it’s time for more Skaven good… eh nastiness. The Stormvermin are great models but hard to rank up. I built 10 so far, I aim for a regiment of 30, so I will build 15 and paint them, and then...
What happened to the monthly White Dwarf review?
If you are a loyal reader of my blog you probably wait for my monthly White Dwarf review. Well, as a result of their new release policy (everything will be released on the last Saturday of the month with no teasers before at all) GW...
Ultramarines Cities of Death Captain Painting V
Almost finished! However I’m wondering whether I should add an Ultramarines logo freehand to the banner or not…
Ultramarines Cities of Death Captain Painting IV

Ultramarines Cities of Death Captain Painting III
I highlighted the gold and painted the parchment. It’s still pretty intense at work, I’m literally only at home for sleeping so it might take some days before I can get back to him.
Showcase: Skaven Island of Blood Warlord
I painted this model quite a while ago, however I wasn’t satisfied with the blood splatter on his axe. So I left him in my display cabinet for a while before I came back to him and repainted the blood for the second time. It...
Ultramarines Cities of Death Captain Painting II
Today is a holiday in Germany, and as I catched a cold and stayed the whole day at home, I had plenty of time for painting. I finished the armour, the skin and started painting and shading the gold areas.
Ultramarines Cities of Death Captain Painting I
After finishing the Terminators I started painting this model. It’s the limited Ultramarines Captain from the Cities of Death release. I wanted to paint him for ages, but there was always something getting in the way. Note that I “repaired” the battle damage on the...
