Doomblaster

Another old Epic unit that's made it's way into our 40k games. A Blood and Skulls kit that I mostly completed about a decade ago. I pulled it out for Apocalypticon, needing to make up points as a few players dropped with short notice, only to find I have never finished painting the cannons.

Iron Warriors Terminators

 Bought on Ebay and rebased. Obviously I need to swap one heavy weapon guy out for a bolter armed guy.

Thunderhawk

this has been in my pile of shame for a decade, so I'm glad it's built and painted. Not really that pretty, but it gives me options until I can obtain a real one.

Fortress of Arrogance

Another Easter Egg unit was the Fortress of Arrogance, Yarrick's ride. This one I printed from STLs found online.

I am Iron Man

Animosity events have a history of easter egg units, and Apocalypticon is no different. Scott asked me to print two sets of pokeballs, in small and large sizes, with room inside for a piece of paper. I did this and we then had a mechanism for Trazyn the Infinite to deploy units from his collection to the battle. The smaller balls were mounted on a base and became table top objectives. Once one was captured, one of the larger balls was drawn from a bag, and the paper slip inside said which unit was deployed to the battle. One such units was 20 Men of Iron - STL versions of UR-025 from Blackstone Fortress. I duly provided these. The reason we have 2 paint schemes is that I started with the silver one, but we though this was too close to the the Necrons themselves, so switched. I was rushed when painting these, so didn't repaint the first 4, so now their leader units, or something. Also the painting is very simple, this was completed a day or two before I was due to travel and I still had loads of scenery to do.
