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.
Eldar Guardians Final Spurt
So this is the status on the Guardians, the majority is done. What I need to do now is to paint the black areas, finish the helmets, do some corrections, paint the base trim and then they are done!

Venerable Dreadnought finished
I finished the Venerable Dreadnought yesterday. Thought it might be cool to put him next to my old regular Dreadnought. I’m going to varnish him pretty soon and of course there will be a high quality showcase in the near future. Next up is the...
First draft of my Skaven army
Now that we know the contents of “Island of Blood”, I took my Army Book and wrote a 2500 points around the models of the starter set and the great Skaven kits that were released last year. Now I’ve never played a game of Warhammer...
