A new era of Tale of Painters
Today we can proudly declare a partnership long in the making: As of next month, Tale of Painters will cease to exist in its current shape, while our writers will officially join the ranks of Games Workshop's Warhammer Community blog. After over 5 years of daily hobby blogging, and countless features in White Dwarf and other GW media, it just made perfect sense for us to dare the next step. We are very grateful for the opportunity, and appreciate the way Games Workshop interacts with the community.
Unfortunately, this means that most of the content of Tale of Painters will become lost in the process, as most of our models and tutorials feature non-GW products and paints, which naturally can't turn up on a Games Workshop website. We hope you'll understand.
Our blog will go offline on April 30, so if you are interested in our old posts and tutorials, save what you can until then. But don't worry, plenty of new content is in the works. Maybe you'll see Amy's Age of Sigmar armies in Warhammer TV battle reports, or Garfy co-hosting a painting tutorial with Duncan. Exciting times! We hope to see you all over on Warhammer Community, soon.
Congratulations...but sad times :(
ReplyDeleteIt wont be the same and I think we are losing something that I have enjoyed for a long while.
While it will be good to see you guys contributing to the Warhammer community directly with Games Workshop...I think we are losing a far better platform here.
I am not sure, but I think I feel disappointed overall....but I am happy for you guys :)
Please don't take this as me complaining. I guess you guys will also feel a sense of loss.

Posted on April 1st???
DeleteI hope this is an april fools joke. It MUST be surely??? Would want to join a "community" site without any actual community interaction.
ReplyDeleteThis is up there with Garfy's "Frodo wearing the One ring" painting tutorial...
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that would be like with GW's new war-ter...
I bought it for like 10 seconds... Then I got relieved :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha
ReplyDelete:P
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA I totally bought it as well. I was thinking, wow that is a big move by GW, and congrats ToP team, but wow!
ReplyDeleteHaha this was a good one ;)
ReplyDeleteYes this is a sell out of your way of doing things. It wont be the same if you are limited to promoting gw.
ReplyDeleteMy sense of relief outweighs my sense of shame at falling for this lol!!!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to be so polite about it as well haha...

I thought it was real as well. I totally forgot about the 1st April and was in shock :)
DeleteYeah guys, don't worry - it was just our April Fool's.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually something that Warhammer community should look into, not getting people to close blogs etc, but actually looking to guest bloggers in...
ReplyDeleteNice Aprils fools though!
