Professional Painter, guest of the Araldi collective - Will be at Play 2025

Known in the miniature painting world as Axia, Giuseppe Chiafele was a painter for ForgeWorld for several years, working on iconic models such as the Warbringer Titan, Blood Bowl teams, Necromunda, and Horus Heresy pieces like the Thunderhawk and signature Blood Angels in his iconic “Ferrari Red.”
He has also painted box art for companies such as Mantic Games, Footsore Miniatures, Steamforged Games, and Mierce Miniatures.
A regular collaborator with AMMO MIG, he continues to work as a freelance painter and has teamed up with legendary figures like Tuomas Pirinen and John Blanche.
In the past year, he has relaunched his own miniature line in a gritty low-fantasy setting, Tales of the Old World, featuring gangs of cutthroats clashing with law enforcement amidst hapless townsfolk.
