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

I got the new Vongrim Harpoon Crew for Christmas which along with the recent Mini of the Month leaves me with six squad members so I decided to convert one into a custom Null Khemist starting with the head.

Last but not least is the Questing Knight Mahieu Sarazin and his two squires Raymon and Menet. He pledged himself and his massive eviscerator blade to the Inquisitor's service on the Feudal World Caebus.

A group photo of the Questing Knight and his two squires. Mahieu Sazarin is a Questing Knight hailing from the Feudal World of Caebus, after being saved from a sticky situation with some Chaos Cultists by the then Interrogator Wault he would swear himself to the service of the soon-to-be-inquisitor. Raymon and Menet are pledged to the service of Knight Sazarin and as such also the Inquisitor, while they are known to grumble and moan about everything they are always there to support their sire.

Next up are a pair of unusual agents in employ of the Inquisitor, the massive Beastman Brantus and his adopted daughter Vex, whose wit is as sharp as her two blades.

#warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #agentsoftheimperium #paintingwarhammer
A photo of the unusual pair of Inquisitorial Agents. Brantus would fight alongside the Inquisitor on the world of Harktaria where he and Vex would assist him in subduing a Clan of Feral Orks that had threatened to grow out of control on the world. Vex is inseparable from Brantus and often acts as the voice of the pair being able to speak Gothic much better than her beastly father figure.

The next two Agents are the "Heavy Weapon Servitors" of the squad. Trooper Piers carries a Volkite Caliver (Plasma Cannon) while Arbites Proctor Karsk wields a heavy manstopper shotgun (Heavy Bolter).

#warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #agentsoftheimperium #paintingwarhammer
The two "Heavy Weapons Servitors" of the Squad wielding weapons that count as a Plasma Cannon and a Heavy Bolter respectively. Trooper Pius is a mysterious figure, he rarely speaks and never takes off his metal mask instead choosing to seclude himself until the services of him and his trusty Volkite Caliver are required. Arbites Proctor Karsk doesn't only wield a powerful manstopper shotgun but his previous leadership experience with Arbiter makes him the de facto leader of the squad being largely able to keep the various personalities in the squad in check.

The first few Inquisitorial Agents are centred around the Astropath Jacob Persyvale joined by his two retainers Blade Master Vain and Administrator Regis, their pilot Vure Okepov and censer servo skull.

#warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #agentsoftheimperium #paintingwarhammer
A group photo of the Astropath and his retinue. Jacob Persyvale is the latest and longest serving Astropath in the employ of Inquisitor Wault, despite looking like a frail old man he can keep his cool in a fight and is a formidable psyker. Vure Okepov is as skilled a pilot as a fighter being as deft behind the controls of an Inquisitorial Flyer as with his trusty grenade launcher. Administrator Regis is the Astropath's closest confidant and a meticulous man keeping track of all of his master's affairs. In contrast the Blade Master Vain is a mysterious figure shrouded in a cloak right until the situation demands his blade to be blooded. The group is accompanied by a censer skull whose incense helps the Astropath focus on the message they might need to send.

I decided to consolidate some of my #inq28 minis and Minis of the Month that I've collected over time into Inquisitorial Agents Squad(s). In preparation I readied some bases for the first full squad.

The bases for the first Squad of Inquisitorial Agents. The base for the Astropath miniature had to be finished with the mini on to cover the groove of the slotta base.

Managed to strip and clean up some of the mould lines on the Space Crusade Terminator I got a while back. He'll be going into my random projects box to be eventually made into a Dark Angels Herald.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #darkangels30k #paintingwarhammer
A Space Crusade Terminator I managed to pick up a while back as a keyring. I've since removed the keyring attachment, stripped the paint, cleaned any mould lines and finally given the guy a new basecoat and a quick dry brush of grey to bring out some of the details.

I made a rough outline of my Dark Water Death Guard list, conveniently adding up to roughly 1000pts.
A test list, for a 1000pts army list using the Miniatures in the Dark Waters Box.

Put together the first few hero minis from the Dark Water Box. I'm pretty sure I'll keep these characters mostly as they are although I do have one or two ideas for conversions.

I'm still organising my hobby space but my birthday gift arrived in the mail today.

I'm looking forward to assembling (and converting a few of) these minis.

#hobbystreak Day 428 - 430

I've been busy with my annual hobby organisation but made some progress on the Caestus, assembling the main body. I'll just need to clean up some of the spots where the parts didn't quite fit together

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #ironwarriors30k #paintingwarhammer
The fully assembled main body of the Caestus Assault Ram, excluding thrusters. I'll have to do a bit of sanding and gap filling where the pieces didn't quite line up properly.

Some more progress on the Caestus, both doors are now openable and magnetised.

A bit more progress on the Caestus with the two Assault Bays now dry-fitted and with one of the two doors rehinged.

Since the top plates come off the bay I've added a cross bar to add structure.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #ironwarriors30k #paintingwarhammer
The dry-fitted assault bays of the Caestus Assault Ram with one door rehinged and functional. One of the two doors hinged open to reveal one of the two assault bays. The door is currently slightly skewed so I'll be redoing one of the hinges to fix that. One of the assault bays with its top plates removed, note the cross bar at the front to add structure to the opened up vehicle as well as a place to put magnets to secure the top plate and the door.

I've started to assemble the Caestus Assault Ram. While I definitely needed to sand down some parts and will need to fill some gaps later it's coming together well so far.

I had a busy few days and no chance to post so here's an update on my hobby progress.

- Finished my mini for the #grimdarkcards2025 challenge

- Finished the DA Contemptor by finishing the sword.

Through 3d printing, I now finally own a vehicle I've wanted for a while but couldn't due as it was OOP.

Any guesses as to what I might be? There's a hint in my #hobbygoals for this month

Made a bit more progress on the Dark Angels Contemptor Dreadnought, adding a flamer to the arm as well as an Oath of Moment scroll wrapped around the handle of the blade.

I spent some time this weekend working on another Tyrant Siege Terminator Concept, I think I like this one much more than the Cobra Pattern (which I may adapt into Lernean Terminators for a future Alpha Legion Force)
