Valerian and Aleya

I built these while waiting for something, at which point I looked for their current rules. I found out they'd be in my stash for 5 years! I would have said they were way more recent.

Return to the Sisterhood

It's been a while since I worked on my sisters of battle - I last ran the army in 2019, and apart from assembling a few minis, I haven't touched them in years. That's changing on Saturday, as I'm off to a doubles event, and a last minute partner change meant I'd be better off with something Imperial. We were going to do the unholy alliance of Honsou and Ventris, but sadly Matt had do some real life stuff, so I had to change partners. Here's what I've had to add to make my forces legal again, and to add some variety - it's only 1000 points per team mate. If anyone's interested I'm teaming up with Custodes.

I'm only using the melta pistol cannoness, but these two have been finally finished (I posted them at tournament legal state for their outing at the team event in 2019).

Since my Battle Sister squads are now totally illegal I needed more bolter girls - the grenadiers are my Superiors. Some have replacement 3d printed backpacks.

I can't take all the credit for these, the 5 paler skinned Arco flagellants are an ebay purchase although rebased by me to match the army. The darker skinned fellow was added separately to make the squad up to legal numbers. I went with a completely different complexion as I knew If I tried to match the other ones, it'd never be close.

Old School Blood for the Blood God

Whilst doing some reorganising the other week I found the missing World Eater! Here he is still on the sprue. I've since built him, and I plan to give him a base ring to get him to 32mm to match the others. I really like including these early models in my armies since it's a connection to the hobby's past.

Consul Contemptor

Sadly I couldn't make the full weekend for South Cheshire Heresy's Formaxia event (clashed with an agricultural show where I'm on a stand) so I'm only there for one day. That said, Morgan runs great events, and even has custom rules for Consul Dreadnoughts. Luckily I had a few ersatz Contemptor bits lying around from when I first started printing. After printing the missing bits and a sword hand, I made this chap, a champion dreadnought. The sword was way too long after printing, so it's been shortened, but sadly looks a bit rough. I'm short of time as usual, so I'm living with it for now. This guy definitely looks like a loyalist, but I've got a traitor ticket - these are confusing times!

Apocalypticon UK 2026

After taking a year off to recover, we're running Apocalypticon UK again. It's back to its home in Newcastle upon Tyne, right next to the railway station. Ticket has had to rise a little from last year as the venue has put up prices, so it's now £60 for a two day event. Players forces are capped at 12k this year, and there are some army detachments we ask player to use so we can better setup the tables so that no one has a huge imbalance with the force facing them (they are multiple players on each table so this helps too).

If you want more information, or access to the Discordto see photos from last year, or want to pay up to attend, please drop me an email at 'simonhpw at googlemail.com' doing the necessary substitution. Alternatively look at the Animosity Facebook page and speak to the head cheese himself! https://www.facebook.com/animositycampaigns/?locale=en_GB 

Dominators

You saw one of these a few months back, well to wrap up the squad I did the last 4. No doubt they will be removed in Heresy 3e now I've finished them.

Khorne, 2 for the Price of 1!

For those that don't know, the Lord Invocatus kit essentially contains almost all the bits to build both the aforementioned named character, and the generic lord. The only bit that's common to both builds is the 2 halves of the juggernaut's body. Since no one has made a 3d printable body, which they have for one of the Tyranid kits which has the same setup, I decided to make a Greenstuff press mould using Bluestuff. Here's the results. A few bits didn't copy that well so I added bits from the bits box to hide that fact. The riders are still WIP as I've been working on a few other things to get them off my work desk so I can get onto Apocalypticon terrain.
