Garfy’s 2023 Hobby Resolution and Recap of 2022
Celebrating the Last 12 month’s of hobby output is an annual tradition here at Tale of Painters. I’m going to take a look back through the year and share what I managed to paint and how many of my 2022 hobby resolutions I succeeded in completing. I’ll also share my 2023 resolutions.
Showcase: Killzone Moroch Landing Pad, STC Hab-Bunker, and Stockades
Since I painted the Phobos Strike Team from Kill Team: Moroch recently, I thought of making a dent into the terrain next. Here is the first half of the Killzone painted: a Landing Pad, STC Hab-Bunker, plus the stockades. Check out this post to find out how I did it.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Einhyr Hearthguard
No, these aren’t Chibi Space Marine Terminators, they’re Einhyr Hearthguard in Exo-armour. Despite their size, there are a lot of parallels though including deep striking and a 2+ save. In today’s post, I share my thoughts on their design as well as detailed high-quality photography of my squad I painted.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Cthonian Beserks
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go! These augmented space miners are off to deal with a wicked Wych or two before heading to the nearest asteroid to mine it for precious materials. You can check out the close up of my painted squad here, unless you’re too busy sleeping in forest waiting for a Daemon Prince to wake you.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Hearthkyn (incl. painting guide)
I painted 20 Leagues of Votann Hearthkyn for today’s post. These doughty space faring industrialists are pretty cool and a lot of fun to paint. Find out more in today’s post.
Tutorial: How to paint the new Cadian Shock Troops effectively
Stand still, Guardsman, and listen up: in this tutorial I will show you how to paint the new Cadian Shock Troops with effective and straight-forward techniques to a beautiful tabletop standard. This painting guide is also a display case for the new Two Thin Coats paints by Duncan Rhodes, but don’t worry, you can easily follow along with Citadel paints as well.
Showcase: New Cadian Shock Trooper
Since Games Workshop kindly sent me the Astra Militarum army set, and at the same time my set of Two Thin Coats paints arrived, I thought to kill two birds with one stone and painted one of the new plastic Cadians to get a better feeling of Duncan Rhode’s new paint range.
Showcase: Leagues of Votann Sagitaur (incl. painting guide)
For today’s Leagues of Votann Sagitaur post, I thought I’d go into more detail on how I painted the Kins’ transport vehicle.
Showcase: Goff Rocker (incl. painting guide)
Welcome to the stage, the Goff Rocker! Today’s post is going to rock your socks off, with a behind-the-scenes look at how I put together this banging rock concert shot, some cool close-ups of our head-banging hero, and full paint recipes for this double denim dude.
Scale Comparison: New plastic Cadian Shock Troops
This post is dedicated to a size comparison of the new plastic Cadians. Let’s see how they scale up to other human models such as Death Korps of Krieg, Kasrkin, Traitor Guardsmen, Firstborn and Primaris Marines, and more!
