ExplosiveFlorist

It's been almost 2 years here and over 500 days of Hobby Streak, so I think it's time for a re-introduction. I'm ExplosiveFlorist, a hobbist who loves kitbashing and converting; I may be incapable of assembling a mini normally. I've also started streaming on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo...

#hobbystreak Day 738 I did some more work on this Dwarf Warlock I'm painting for a challenge at my FLGS, trying my hand at some Non-Metalic Metal for the first time and painting the beard. The NMM needs some work but I'm happy with my first attempt #paintingminiatures #dwarves #nmm #nerdlings

Hey all, I've had a very hectic week at work and I'm absolutely exhausted so I'll be calling of stream. With how much I've called off stream this month I'm also taking next week off to reorganise my schedule so I can stream more reliably. Looking forward to seeing you all next month

#hobbystreak Day 736 & 737 My hectic week continues but I got a few more things done. I painted some of the interiors of the Tiger Moth Kit, gave the Runepriest a wash and start the rest of the Custodes Jetbikes. #warhammercommunity #adeptuscustodes #ghibli #paintingminiatures #dwarves #nerdlings

#hobbystreak Day 734 & 735 Had a busy start to the week but managed to block out the basic colours on this Dwarf Runepriest I'm painting for a painting challenge, I'll be trying my hand at some NMM metal on this mini. #paintingminiatures #dwarves #nerdlings

This week's Streaming Schedule (19/10/26 - 25/10/26) www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo... #paintingminiatures #nmm

Beard friend! #nerdlings, #minipainting, #miniaturepainting

#hobbystreak Day 732 & 733 After my most recent game I tweaked my Halfling Army list and based, magnitised and basecoated and the units I'd need for it. I also made a Cavalry and Infantry Horde movement tray. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 731 Got the chance to play another game of Kings of War at my FLGS, now with a (mostly) done and basecoated army. It was fun and I learned a lot and I'll definitely be tweaking my list before my next game. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 730 I started building the Tiger Moth model from Ghibli's Castle in the Sky starting with the bird head bridge on which I did a little bit interior painting before sealing that work inside by glueing the bridge together. #paintingminiatures #ghibli #castleinthesky #tigermoth

#hobbystreak Day 729 Some progress on the centerpiece Airship for my Halfling Army. I'm still waiting for the support poles between the ballon and hull but in the meantime I attached the engines and the tail rotor. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic #airship

Updated my #gnomadfeastmastersin4th A 96 page unofficial #AoS battletome complete with a lore section, short stories, faction rules, 22 warscrolls, Spearhead & Path to Glory secrtions and battle profiles gnomadfeastmastersapp.mazdamen.workers.dev if you don't like a link heres the tome in full 1/51

Hey all, I'm so sorry I was hoping to stream tonight but I've had quite a hectic start to the week and had some things come up last minute. I plan to be back proper next week with the goal of aiming for two streams #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak Day 728 I managed to get all but the large Aeronauts Airship centerpiece base coated to prep a 2300pt army for a Kings of War trail game later this week. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 725 - 727 I spent this weekend prepping the army for a KoW game this week and made a transport case. I'll do a group shot after basecoating tomorrow. And a WIP on the centerpiece of this army, a big Airship #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

This week's Streaming Schedule (12/10/26 - 18/10/26) Only one stream this week but an exciting one as I'll be trying my hand at some non-metalic metals. www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo... #paintingminiatures #nmm

#hobbystreak Day 723 & 724 Bar one centerpiece unit I've gotten all the units in my Kings of War Halfling Army assembled with the latest additions being more Troll (Gunners), a Gunnery Sergeant, Juggers and Poachers. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

Hey all, I've had some stuff come to this evening so unfortunately no stream tonight but I'll be back next week.

#hobbystreak Day 722 Finally got the leader model for my a Halfings printed, assembled and based. This Halfling General on a Cockatrice by Grimskald will count as a Muster Captain on Winged Aralez. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 721 I built a few more minis from The Iron Thistle 2026, this time some mimics also from Bad Squiddo Games and a "less mini" model of Captain Dola that comes along with the Tiger Moth Kit. #paintingminiatures #mimics #dnd #ghibli #castleinthesky #tigermoth

This week's Streaming Schedule (05/10/26 - 11/10/26) www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo...

#hobbystreak Day 720 I built one of the minis I got from #TheIronThistle2026 in the form of the Capycannon, a sculpt by the amazing @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, I'd run this as a Jakearo so I put it on a suitable base. Also a bonus "Irn Bru-topus" I painted at the event #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak Day 719 I'll be taking part in the painting challenge organised by Geekzilla and Merchant's Guild in Glasgow. I'll be painting up one of these amazing Dwarves from the Monolith Arts kickstarter with the limited paint selection shown below. #paintingminiatures #dwarves #nerdlings

Some of my #TheIronThistle2026 entries as well as some of the loot I acquired. Unfortunately no luck my entries but I did get two #28mag approved tags. #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak Day 718 Last few details and touch-ups on my Rogue Trader in Terminator Armour for #TheIronThistle. I'll post some proper pictures of this and my other entries tomorrow. #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #roguetrader #imperialagents #paintingwarhammer #kintsugi

#hobbystreak Day 717 Some more progress on my Rogue Trader in Terminator Armour for #TheIronThistle. Finished the cloak did some highlights on the black and added a Damascus Pattern Texture to the sword. #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #roguetrader #imperialagents #paintingwarhammer #damascus

It's Thursday!! Which means I'll be going live (a little bit later) at around 8pm BST continuing to work on my entry for the #TheIronThistle Looking forward to seeing some of you there. www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo... #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

#hobbystreak Day 716 Added the heads to the last of my Halfling Cavalry rounding out an intense month of building. Refined the face and hair on my #TheIronThistle entry and started adding some other details. #kingsofwar #mantic #warhammercommunity #roguetrader #paintingwarhammer

#hobbystreak Day 715 More progress on my Rogue Trader in Terminator Armour specifically on the face and hair. I'll need to do some more refinements on the face and lighten the hair a bit. #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #roguetrader #imperialagents #paintingwarhammer

Done with all of the halberds, I am finishing this squad before the end of the month or I will die trying. #warhammer #greyknights

#hobbystreak Day 713 & 714 Made some progress on my #TheIronThistle entry blocking out the colour and adding on some washes. I also designed the next version of the movement tray now with a flat and sloped version in one. #kingsofwar #mantic #warhammercommunity #roguetrader #paintingwarhammer

Hey all, I had hoped to find time to stream today given I won't be able to tomorrow but errand and chores took longer then expected so I'll be back on Thursday.

This week's Streaming Schedule (28/09/26 - 04/10/26) I'll be busy this Tuesday but The Iron Thistle is fast approaching so I'll be streaming later today to hopefully make some good progress. www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo...

#hobbystreak Day 712 Finally built the other half of the Dwarf/Halfling Mixed regiment with some light conversion giving some haflings the blunderbus barrels from the Alpine Dwarves. I also changed some things on the HQs #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 710 & 711 I got to try the new Warhammer Tone Pro paint today. Great colour and coverage and I see the potential. It does feel weird to use them straight from the pot. I might pick up a few even to just experiment with the brighter colours #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Hey all, no stream tonight but I might try and steam tomorrow.

#hobbystreak Day 709 Finally got around to blocking out the roof tiles on the medieval building terrain piece I'm painting for my FLGS. New up will be doing washes and then highlights and details. #warhammercommunity #FLGS #paintingwarhammer #miniatureterrain #nerdlings

#hobbystreak Day 708 I decided to build the first of the Gyrfalcon Jetbikes as a character, while I don't know if the new Ephoroi Venatari-Proconsul will be on a Jetbike I still wanted a mini to run as a Jetbike Character in 40k #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #adeptuscustodes #paintingwarhammer

It's Tuesday! I'll be going live a little bit later today at around 8:30pm BST. I'll be continuing to work on my Iron Thistle entry as well as chatting about last week's GW preview.

#hobbystreak Day 707 Finished the Adjutorum Sodality by giving the Signifer a banner and the Vestarios his little hologram. I've now dubbed these Auramite Constructs Plus a bonus picture of a little Epic scale Custodian Guard #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #adeptuscustodes #paintingwarhammer

#hobbystreak Day 704 - 706 Had a busy weekend but I was able to finish the rest of the bow-wielding Wild Runners as well as finishing most of the core cavalry for my Halfling Army sans their heads and bases. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

This week's Streaming Schedule (21/09/26 - 27/09/26) I'll again be trying for two stream this week once again focusing on my entry for the Iron Thistle. www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo...

#hobbystreak Day 704 Started building a Adjutorum Sodality from spare bits and Anvil Industries Robot bodies. The Signifer needs a banner and the Vestarios a hologram. Lore tbc but probably something related to the Dark Cells. #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #adeptuscustodes #paintingwarhammer

Hey all, unfortunately I had some stuff come up so no stream tonight but I'll be back again next week.

#hobbystreak Day 703 I started on my Modular Wild Runners using some Dead Man's Hand bits to represent rifles and building the first of the bows as well. Next I'll build 5 "filler" units to form a regiment with either option #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic

#hobbystreak Day 702 Made more progress on the Rogue Trader in Terminator Armour, the marble will need a bit more work before I'm 100% happy. I also did a test of the colour scheme and crest of House Zeniya #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #roguetrader #imperialagents #paintingwarhammer #kintsugi

Hey all, it's Tuesday and I'll be going live tonight at around 7:30pm BST. I'll be continuing to work on my Rogue Trader in Marble Terminator Armour which is now also my entry for the Iron Thistle. www.twitch.tv/explosiveflo... #warhammercommunity #roguetrader #paintingwarhammer #kintsugi

#hobbystreak Day 701 Spent some time batch building all the mounts and rider bodies for the various types of cavalry I might want to add to my Kings of War Halfling Army. #kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
