Showcase: Nighthaunt Grimghast Reapers
On my quest to paint a playable Nighthaunt Spearhead this year, I could cross another unit off the list: here come my Grimghast Reapers, 10 in number. Several years ago I painted the first half, and now five more models join my spectral hosts. This presented me with some challenges. Which ones, you’ll find out in this post.
Best of: Tale of Painters February 2026
Hobby February was packed with new Warhammer releases, which we naturally all reviewed here on Tale of Painters. Additionally, we had showcases of lovingly painted miniatures, tips on how to rediscover painting motivation, updates for Stahly’s hand-painted colour swatches, and much more. In this post you’ll find a summary of what you might have missed from us last month.
Review: Grand Cathay Defenders of the Great Bastion Army Reinforcement Set
The Great Bastion stands strong with Grand Cathay’s second wave of reinforcements. We’re reviewing the Defenders of the Great Bastion Army Reinforcement Set, which brings magical Astromancers of the Celestial Court, devastating Crane Gun Teams and Iron Hail Gunners, and masses of Peasant Levies to bolster the Dragon Emperor’s armies. In this comprehensive review, we examine all the new kits with high-res sprue images, explore their build options, and let you know whether these defenders are worthy of protecting Cathay’s mighty walls.
ToP Tip: How to keep painting when motivation disappears into the Warp
I’ve been painting my Ultramarines for over six months. Blue armour, gold trim, blends, highlights, battle damage… repeat. It’s been rewarding, but somewhere around the twentieth model I hit that familiar wall. The “I know I should paint, but I absolutely cannot face it” wall. We all know it. It’s tougher to crack than Helm’s Deep.
Review: Warhammer Underworlds Thanatek’s Tithe warband
Death claims its tithe in the latest Warhammer Underworlds warband. We’re reviewing Thanatek’s Tithe, the new Ossiarch Bonereapers warband that brings a Flex-style playstyle focused on cadaver tokens and tactical resurrection. With five fighters including the four-armed Thanatek and his two-headed retainers, this warband offers unique mechanics but raises questions about sculpt quality. In this review, we examine the models with high-res sprue images.
Review: Ossiarch Bonereaper Liege-Mortek, War Chariot, Mortis Reapers & Mortek Triaxes
The Ossiarch Bonereapers march forth with a substantial new wave of reinforcements. Adding to the bone tithe, we’re reviewing four new kits: the customisable Liege-Mortek, the impressive Liege-Kavalos on War Chariot, the dynamic Mortis Reapers assassins, and the long-awaited Mortek Triaxes archers. In this comprehensive review, we examine all the build options with high-res sprue images.

Review: Aeldari Eldritch Raiders Battleforce & new Vyper
The Aeldari Corsairs raid the galaxy with style in the new Eldritch Raiders Battleforce. After literal decades of waiting, the ancient Vyper jetbike finally receives a plastic update, now buildable as either a Craftworlds Vyper or the baroque Corsair Starfang. Alongside it comes Prince Yriel in his new Corsair garb, the first-ever Void Dreamer model, the winged Skyreavers, and the returning Voidreavers. In this comprehensive review, we unbox the entire battleforce in a 4K video, examine every build option with high-res sprue images, and let you know whether these swift raiders are worth adding to your collection.
