Showcase: Stahly’s Blitz Bowl team collection
This weekend, a new season of Fantasy Football will kick off with the Blood Bowl: Third Season Edition starter set. Although I have never managed to play the “main” Blood Bowl game, I have played its “little brother” Blitz Bowl extensively instead. In this post, I present to you my collection of painted teams: Skaven, Undead, Orcs, Humans, and Dark Elves. Tutorials and tips are also included.
Showcase: The Gundam Base Limited RX-78-2 Gundam SD Cross Silhouette
A first on Tale of Painters! After the Ultramarines release kicked off the blue weeks here on the blog, I thought I’d share my very first Gundam: the RX-78-2 SD Cross Silhouette in the limited blue monochrome colour scheme, exclusive to The Gundam Base stores. In this post, I’ll talk about my experience with this kit compared to Warhammer model kits.
Showcase: Ultramarines Terminator Squad
The Terminator Squad. The indomitable veterans of the Ultramarines, clad in ancient Tactical Dreadnought Armour and ready to strike fear into any foe. In this showcase, I present my finished squad, painted to complement my Terminator Captain.
Showcase: Hive Fleet Kraken Kill Team
Having only recently (and quite belatedly) finished painting the last Hormagaunt, my Hive Fleet Kraken Kill Team is now finally complete. This is several years after the current edition of Kill Team came out, which doesn’t even include Compendium Kill Teams anymore. I know. Still, I wanted to take the opportunity to shoot some atmospheric group photos for you in front of my Gallowdark terrain, so please enjoy.
Showcase: Night Lords Nemesis Claw Kill Team
Building a main force of the Black Legion is a great foundation, but the real fun of being a Chaos Space Marine player is the narrative freedom to include other warbands. Today, I present you a new addition to the ranks: a Nemesis Claw Kill Team of Night Lords, ready to bring fear and psychological warfare to the enemies of Chaos.
Showcase: Helsmiths of Hashut Muspelzharr Infernal Cohort Champion
The Helsmiths of Hashut are on the march, and now they’ve invaded Tale of Painters as well. For the Community Showcase on Warhammer Community, I submitted this unit champion of the Infernal Cohorts, depicted poised on a rocky outcrop with a two-handed Hashutite blade.
Showcase: Sons of Horus 1st Company Saturnine Dreadnought
From the moment it was first announced, I knew I had to have the Saturnine Dreadnought for my Sons of Horus collection. Once I’d finished my review of the Horus Heresy: Saturnine box (you can find high-res sprue images and tips for magnetising here), I…
Showcase: Necrons Nephusir Dynasty army by nicholas.painting
The Anatu system once belonged to the Nephusir Dynasty a millennia ago – and they’re determined to reclaim it. Recognisable by their white masks and a soft blue energy glow;Â these robotic land-owners would like the Imperium off their property.
Showcase: Ultramarines Terminator Captain, Librarian, and Repulsor
Everyone loves a hero! And who could be more heroic than the mighty Ultramarines? This army was inspired by my recent Tale of Gamers project with Garfy. His magnificent Blood Angels are so well painted, you can’t help but feel inspired to build and paint some Space Marines after seeing his first-class work.
Showcase: Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic
Here’s my take on the new Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic. Once a charlatan who peddled miracle cures, medicines, and tinctures, he is now cursed to serve Nagash for all eternity as a master of poisons. In this showcase post, I share detailed pictures from every angle and explain how I painted the smoke effect.
