WIP: Ultramarine Scouts #1
My collection of scouts currently numbers 45 models, so I thought I’d paint 5 more to round it up to 50. A couple of mates from the website http://swchq.co.uk/swcforum donated the scouts a while ago (thanks!) so I thought it was best I cracked on with…
Showcase: Orc Boyz Regiment
This 25 strong Orc boyz regiment was painted a while ago, but I’m gradually over the coming weeks reshooting all the units with my camera set up to bring you the best possible pictures I can. More pics after the jump. I’ve painted the Nob…
Showcase: Genestealer Hybrids
Regular readers would have remembered my pitiful Table of Shame, completing these Genestealer Hybrids finishes off that list of incomplete models on my desk. Readers from Christmas, might remember my Hobby New Years Resolution, well 8 months in and it’s not going to bad. The arachnarok, is…
WIP: Genestealer Hybrids #1
The Sky Mother is calling us to rise up against the oppressors, throw down the shackles of humanity and embrace and worship our alien gods. These 2 models are very old plastic minis and the sculpts are really starting to look poor compared to the…

Showcase: Orc Big Un Mob
I painted this Orc Big Un unit quite a while ago. It’s one of my favourite units from my horde. It’s just the standard boyz kit but I added all the spare shoulder pads I could, plus lots of little skull trophies to the models…
Showcase: Dark Eldar Clawed Fiend
The furry, spider faced monster that is the Clawed Fiend has been a joy to paint. It’s so different to any other model in the Dark Eldar army it feel like you’re painting a brand new model for a different army. I really like the…
Showcase: Dark Eldar Beast Master
I’ve had this model hanging around for ages. I decided to use the skyboard as a test piece for my airbrush extractor fan. Once I’d done a neat job of painting the skyboard, I thought I’d finish the job off and paint the beast master. I…
Review: Portable airbrushing spray booth & extractor E420
I bought this from www.airbrushsupplyonline.com for £74. It looks like I’ve become a door to door salesman selling vacuum cleaners! The kit includes a booth which folds down to a suitcase with the dimensions 42cm x 15cm x 24cm and an extractor hose comprising of 5 parts….
Chat: Garfy’s man cave gets an upgrade
We love a good man cave here at Tale of Painters. I was recently visiting a friend who had a fantastic man cave with 2 desks. 1 for his computer, 1 for his hobby. This got me thinking about upgrading my man cave to make…
