Painting assembly in full swing. Also realized I covered my paint in blood with the last boi. Reminder to not splatter blood technical when you have screens or important documents on your table. #painting #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #warhammercommuntiy #minis #miniatures #paintingminis

Got some solid progress on a Wardog. This is the most battle damage I have ever put on a model and has been very fun to paint up. (Finished dogs for color scheme reference) #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #minis #miniatures #paintingminis #paintingminiatures #painting #chaos #chaosknights

PapaRook @paparook.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Gonna stop here with them for now a "battle ready" sans bases. Game plan is to knock out the termies in a similar way and then mass basing. #warhammer40k #minis #miniatures #painting #paintingminis #warhammercommunity

Yesterday was rough as shit and I wasn't about to paint after that much whiskey, but tonight I was able to get the brass on and wash it down. #warhammer40k #painting #minis #miniatures #paintingminiatures #salamanaders

Took forever to black out everything, but wash is on the dark reds and will be good for some dry brushing and detail work tomorrow. #warhammer40k #minis #miniatures #paintingminiatures #salamanders #painting

Some more assembly and a bit of painting today. It rained, so I couldnt prime and had a date night, so not much painting time, but happy with the progress. #warhammer40k #minis #miniatures #painting #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #paintingminiatures

Wrought Protector, Da'Shol ready. Never tried a flat grey like this, but I like it. I will probably go and add some nuln to his chest plaque tho. #warhammer40k #minis #painting #paintingminiatures #miniatures #paintingminis

So my head cannon is inspired by the now Legends Salamander's dreadnaught Iron Dragon - Bray'arth Ashmantle, in that the dreadnaught chassis is named and honored as much as it's entombed. And this lets me paint each super unique, so why not. #painting #minis #miniatures #paintingminiatues #40k

Molten Honor, Po'Yor and Brass Anvil, Heth'Gol complete. 7 more to go. #painting #minis #miniatures #paintingminiatures #warhammer40k

Final two complete! I think I will revisit this and redo the green fist and black sword? But for now they are done. I strongly recommend doing a similar challenge and just trying new things you wouldn't do normally. #warhammercommunity #minis #painting #paintingminiatures #miniatures #warhammer40k

Sure it's just wet blending, but I don't do it often and I like how it came out. #wadhammercommunity #minis #miniatures #warhammer40k #painting #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting

Let me do it for you I have resisted doing lighting on power weapons for so long. Not my fav to do so far, but it's not too bad. #minis #miniatures #painting #paintingminiatures #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

This little challenge to do a full squad with unique weapon vibes has been a very fun learning experience and I'm looking forward to the second half. Highly recommend if only to try things you never would normally. #warhammer40k #minis #painting #paintingminiatures #miniatures #warhammercommunity
