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.
Guardian and Weapon Platform, most of the work done
I did a lot of painting today, finished the red armour and painted the wraithbone parts as well. I plan to get them done on Monday. I have to catch up a lot painting-wise.
Eldar Guardian Weapon Platform WIP
After a long hiatus I picked up the brush again and started highlighting the platform and its crew. I plan to come back into painting with full force next week.
A great autograph
Siam-Tiger from Brückenkopf was visiting several miniature companies in and around Nottingham last week and look what he brought me: A great autograph from one of my favourite creatives. Can you guess whose signature it is?
Incoming: I bought even more Skaven stuff…
So my shopping spree comes to an end temporarily. I got an Fire Prism for my Eldar, two boxes of Clanrats, Stormvermin, a Doom Wheel, modular regiment bases, a can of Chaos Black primer, a 200 ml pot of Vallejo Sepia Shade wash (which I...
Shot of my whole Ultramarines army
As promised on Tuesday, I took a picture of my Ultramarines as well. Unfortunately there are a lot of shadows, but it is a bit sharper than the last army shot I took and you can see recent additions like the Shotgun Scouts or the...
Tutorial: How to paint High Elf Seaguard from “Island of Blood”
After my Skaven tutorial last week, this time I give myself over to the other half of the “Island of Blood” box. Contrary to the other tutorial, my High Elf colour scheme focuses less on speed but more on clean layering and an unique palette....
Incoming: Island of Bloooood!!! (finally)
I finally got my Island of Blood models. There are 80 clanrats, 4 weapon teams, 2 rat ogres, 2 handlers, the Engineer and the Warlord. I also have the “Read me first” booklet which is really bad. There is hardly any content apart from a...
Saim-Hann army shot
I borrowed a SLR from a friend as I had to take some pictures for a real life project. While I had the setup, I took some better full army shots of my Eldar and Ultramarines. There are some nasty shadows and I am by...
High Elves Seaguard WIP
I’m painting this Lothern Seaguard champion for a tutorial that will be out early next week. I think it’s a quite unique colour scheme for High Elves and I like it really much. Almost every colour used has at least a hint of yellow in...
Tutorial: How to paint Skaven Clanrats from Island of Blood
This is a tutorial in which I’m going to explain how I will paint my Skaven army. Of course it is a great starting point for all of you who picked up “Island of Blood” in order to start a new Skaven army! In my...
