I've recently sold a load of board games and treated myself to a new 3D printer as my Ender 5 seems to now what to produce anything useful anymore. I've got a Bambu P1S as a friend was producing awesome results without the level of setup/tweaking needed by the old Enders. To test it out I printed a fusion generator with an electric tealight in it, which will make an appearance at Apocalypticon.

Cannoness Veridian
Quickly assembled in a lunch break to help clear a few boxes from the garage of doom! She was the last item in a larger box - build her and then the whole box can go - result!

IW Basilisk #2
Quickly finished for SCH's Dropsite event yesterday. Pretty much the same as the first one I did, but I still need to do the crew for both.

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!
