Stahly (Tale of Painters)

This week on Tale of Painters

So yesterday I published another of my best-of posts, and for the weekend, I have another Games Workshop review planned, not allowed to tell what it is yet ;)

You might have noticed that we're currently on a slower, two posts per week schedule. There are a few reasons for that. I need to ca...

Hearthkyn Warrior WIP

So, I'm back from Singapore and back to painting! To get into the groove again, I'm painting this Hearthkyn Warrior I got as the miniature of the month, in a Trans-hyperion Alliance paint scheme. I had a vote on Instagram that was a very close call between Greater Thurian & Trans-hyperion, wi...

How to paint grimdark Emperor's Children (masterclass tutorial))

Here comes the Patreon exclusive tutorial for October: A 15 page guide to painting Heresy era Emperor's Children, in a similar "grimdark" style as my Imperial Fists tutorial (https://www.patreon.com/posts...

Hobbying in Singapore

This week I‘ve been traveling Singapore and there are quite a few tabletop & other nerdy locations to check out.

I started visiting the official Warhammer store, it‘s in a shopping street but quite hidden beneath a public staircase. It‘s rather small, and the shop owner wasn‘t ...

This week on Tale of Painters

So this week is in a flux as I‘m currently travelling. For yesterday I prepared a showcase post of the Autarch I painted a while ago. For Thursday, we might have another post by Tom (not sure yet), and for the weekend either a tutorial or a review of Redgrass Games‘ Everlasting Wet Palette 2....

Contemptor Dreadnought assembly

So the next model on my to do list is this Contemptor Dreadnought for my Sons of Horus. The possibility of this model is amazing, and I even made the effort magnetizing his arms. It took a while filling all the gaps, but now he is ready to get a coat of paint :)

This week on Tale of Painters

With a slight delay comes this week‘s sneak peek. Tuesday I shared a painting guide for my Raven Guard Kill Team, a full-blown tutorial will come to Patreon as an exclusive in a month or two. On Thursday, Garfy will share his Hermkyn Pioneers, and for Saturday, I made a comparison post with all...

Watch my next video early

Hey guys, I just finished my next video. It‘s a follow-up to my popular Dipping Inks review. I review all remaining colours and made a comparison sheet of all 24 colours. I‘ll publish the video on Saturday, but you can watch it here early :)

Emperor's Children Legionary WIP

Hey guys, the last couple of days I was working on this Emperor's Children model, which will become this month's Aspect Warrior tier tutorial! Really enjoyed working on this one, it uses the same approach as my Sons of Horus, and I guess I'll paint an allied contingent of Emperor's Children for m...

This week on Tale of Painters

Garfy shared his Neave Blacktalon model yesterday, and tomorrow I'll post a few more pics of my Gallowdark terrain from Kill Team: Into the Dark.

For Saturday, we have a review planned, I can't say what it is yet, but you might have a hunch if you follow Games Workshop's release schedule ;)...

More Gallowdark terrain

Here is the first batch of the Kill Team: Into the Dark terrain I painted, I think it's about 20% of the stuff you get in the box. Not enough for gaming, but enough to use it as a background for some cool shots :)

Tutorial will drop tomorrow. Next on my painting table will be more Heresy :)...

This week on Tale of Painters

Yesterday I posted my Sons of Horus tutorial video on the blog, and in fact, this will be a tutorial heavy week on the blog. For the weekend, there'll be a tutorial for painting the Space Hulk terrain pieces from Kill Team: Into the Dark in a heavily weathered scheme. And to shorten the time unti...

Gallowdark terrain painting

I've been pretty quiet last week, so what was I painting? Well, I painted a few of the new Gallowdark Space Hulk pieces from Kill Team: Into the Dark I wasn't allowed to share yet. I chose a light paint scheme with lots of rust and weathering, was quite fun to experiment with pigments and oil was...

My next video: How to paint Sons of Horus

Hey guys, I just finished editing my next video. It's my first video tutorial, a video version of my popular Sons of Horus tutorial. You can see it here first, don't know yet when I'll post it on the blog, maybe on Friday.

Let me know what you think and how I could improve for the next tuto...

Raven Guard Phobos Kill Team complete

Hey guys, I just finished my Raven Guard Phobos Strike Team for Kill Team and took this nice group shot. It'll probably be a few weeks until I can find a spot on them on Tale of Painters, so I thought you'd enjoy a little sneak peek :)

By the way, I took photos while painting them, so they'...

This week on Tale of Painters

Garfy shared his Lord Imperatant on Tuesday, and he has quite a backlog of models he hasn't posted yet, so for Friday he has another model to share we don't want to spoil yet :)

For the weekend, there'll be my Traitor Guardsman tutorial that is already available to download for Aspect Warri...

Final Raven Guard batch

This week I was working on the final two models for my Raven Guard Phobos Kill Team. I'm making good progress, and I record the right model for a future tutorial, probably going to become an Aspect Warrior tier exclusive at some point. Can't wait to get these finished and paint more Heresy!

This week on Tale of Painters

So we have some fantastic content lined up for you as Garfy is relentlessly sharing his completely painted Warcry Heart of Ghur set.

So you can look forward to that, and we'll have another showcase post on Thursday. For the we...

Batch painting Raven Guard

So, what have you've been up to painting-wise? Last week and the week before I didn't found that much time painting, the Warcry and Green Stuff World Dipping Inks reviews have been quite time-consuming, BUT I made some progress on the second batch of Raven Guard for my Phobos Kill Team. Really li...

How to paint grimdark Imperial Fists (masterclass tutorial)

Here comes this month's Aspect Warrior tier freebie: a 10-page PDF guide for painting "grimdark" and weathered Imperial Fists. I really love the faded shade of yellow and the painting took only 45 minutes! I also added a few suggestions for achieving a similar result without an airbrush. Let me k...

This week on Tale of Painters

Today we have a quick showcase post of the Battlezone Manufactorum terrain I painted a while ago, then later this week, there'll be another guest post by Tom while Garfy is busy painting the Warcry: Heart of Ghur set (check out his twitter, just the Horns of Hashut left: 2022-08-02 22:24:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Raven Guard Saboteur done

Here is the first test model of my Raven Guard. I'm exploring more weathered and realistic painting styles at the moment, so this model is heavily inspired by Cult of Paint painting guides on YouTube, zenithal airbrushing, chipping and oil washes. Unfortunately, the matt varnish left a slight tex...

This week on Tale of Painters

After a busy weekend with not one but two (technically three) reviews for the Chaos Cultists / Dark Commune and Leviathan Dreadnought, we follow up this week with my Heresy era Alpha Legion armour tutorial (which was on early access for Aspect Warrior tier patrons until now). Speaking of Aspect W...

Airbrushing Raven Guard

So my painting has been slow this week, as I was busy preparing the Chaos Cultists and Leviathan Dreadnoughts for the weekend (go check them out over on www.taleofpainters.com!). However, I managed to airbrush the basecoats of my Raven Guard Phobos Kill Team and made a start on the first test mod...

Kratos & Kill Teams

Hey there, I've finished the Kratos just in time for the Warhammer Paintathon! But that's not the only thing I managed to get done this week, I also built a Phobos pattern Primaris Kill Team that will become Raven Guard, and two more MkVI Marines I'm going to paint for tutorials over the next wee...
