Showcase: Miniatures of the year 2025 (painted by the Tale of Painters crew)
The best Warhammer miniatures of 2025 were chosen by you on Warhammer Community. Here on Tale of Painters we were also busy last year and painted quite a few of the chosen miniatures, putting our own unique stamp on them. We’re presenting you which ones in this showcase post.
Showcase: Slaves to Darkness Urkhan, the Dark Warden (inc. painting guide)
In this post I’m presenting Urkhan, the Dark Warden. This Chaos Lord was recently released as a commemorative miniature for Warhammer Day 2025, and I grabbed him to test the new True Metallic Metal paints from Vallejo on his armour. More pictures and a detailed painting guide can be found here.
Review: Chaos Marauders Army Reinforcement Set
I was not expecting that: new Chaos Marauders were not on my hobby bingo list for 2025. But now it has come true, and before us lies the first Warhammer The Old World army box with completely new models. In this review, we will take a very close look at the HQ sprue images and build options of the new Marauder and Marauder Horsemen kits.

In today’s blog post I document painting and photographing my finished Abraxia astride the monstrous Thanatorg. There’s a stunning photo I’ve taken in the style of Frank Frazetta’s art and a complete painting guide with some top tips.
Showcase: Abraxia, Spear of the Everchosen (inc. painting guide)
In today’s blog post I document painting and photographing my finished Abraxia astride the monstrous Thanatorg. There’s a stunning photo I’ve taken in the style of Frank Frazetta’s art and a complete painting guide with some top tips.

The 4th Edition of Age of Sigmar is just around the corner and the Darkoath are one of the last factions to be released in the tail end of 3rd Edition AOS. They’ve been long overdue a release and today I’ll share a Darkoath Chieftain and his Marauders that I recently painted, I’ll also share my biggest paint recipe ever.

This is the Wintermaw, the chilling backdrop for the next season of Warhammer Underworlds. In our review of Warhammer Underworlds: Wintermaw, we’ll explore the icy battlegrounds, the new warbands, and the thrilling Rivals decks that await players in this frostbitten realm.
