With the recent influx of new followers I thought I'd re-introduce myself, I'm ExplosiveFlorist. I convert and kitbash a lot and might well be incapable of assembling a mini normally.

Thank you all so much for following my hobby journey and it's amazing to see the community flourish in Bluer Skies

#hobbystreak Day 376 & 377

Made a bit more progress on the Iron Havocs, taping off the hazard stripes.

The die roll for Toss-up Thursday was an Escher Vigilante Gunslinger I built a while back for Inq28.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #inq28 #ironwarriors30k #paintingwarhammer

Taping off the hazard stripes on the Iron Havocs, due to the unevenness of the surface some of these will need some clean-up after but I'll have a good base to work from.

I'll be going live a bit later at 7:30pm BST today with what I'm tentatively calling Toss-up Thursday. Let's roll a d100 to see what small project I'll be working on today.

#hobbystreak Day 375

Only a little bit of progress on the Araknae and Iron Havocs but I organised a bunch of my single miniature and smaller projects into 100 numbered baggies.

I'll be rolling a d100 to determine what I'll be working on next.

A bit of progress on the Araknae using some washes to give the metal some more definition.

I base coated the bases on the Iron Havocs.

I also put the first layer of paint on the Araknae starting with Leadbelcher.

While I'll be focusing on touching up the Armies on Parade stuff this week I'll also be working on the Araknae and with that I decided to dig up the Iron Havoc Squad I put together a while ago as well.

Some primed Iron Havoc I built a while back that I'll be painting alongside the Captured Iron Warriors Araknae for the Shattered Legions.

#hobbystreak Day 364 - 368 | Catching up

Was unexpectedly away from my hobby desk this weekend so had some catching up to do.

I likely won't be able to finish everything before the in-store Armies on Parade this weekend but I'll be focusing on the core army.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy

Organising the various miniatures into their squads to prepare for adding transfers.

#hobbystreak Day 363

With the in-store Armies on Parade now a week away I'm focusing on getting down the initial colours quickly so I can give myself as much time as possible for detailing

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #isstvanV #shatteredlegions #paintingwarhammer

Getting down the base colours for the Raven Guard, Iron Hands and Salamanders.

ExplosiveFlorist @explosiveflorist.bsky.social · 15d

I'll be going live at 7:30pm BST today. I've got a little over a week left before the in-store Armies on Parade so let's get some paint on these minis.

The Salamanders Centurion needed a Cyberfamiliar so I gave him a cybernetic companion based on something that may be found on Nocturne.

The Castellax now also have their transfers.

October 2025 #hobbygoals

The main goal this month is to finish painting the Isstvan V Survivors that I've assembled so far for the in-store Armies on Parade Event this month. This includes this month's Dreadnought.

I'd like to paint something for Halloween as well and finish a few other projects.
