Stahly (Tale of Painters) posts
New gear
Thanks to your support I was able to expand my video equipment once again. I got myself a second RGB spotlight for the background, as well as a teleprompter app for my iPhone and a presentation remote control to go along with it. I already used these for my Acrylic Medium Video, and it was really a great help.

At last, another painting update! I'm working at a super secret project for quite a few weeks now, I'm not allowed to share it yet, apologies, but I have this little side project. A couple of months ago I painted a Silver Skulls Impulsor and I kept it modular so I could add the Gladiator parts later. Now I've made a start and...

Look what I‘ve found on a Facebook group. Over 50 paints from the former Citadel paint range, all unused or in great condition. I knew I had to get these for a retro review and colour comparison. I might even make a video! Any questions or ideas what I could do with them? 😄

How are you doing? I finished my Alpha Legion test model, you can check it out over on Discord, so now I'm free to start something new.

So, the Alpha Legion test model is done! It's a bit rough in some places, as I had to repaint a few areas multiple times until I was happy, but overall I quite like it. It was really fun to add all those garish 90s toys colours, very neon :D Let me know if you'd be interested in a tutorial for this scheme.
