We investigate the future asymptotics of spatially homogeneous space-times with a positive cosmological constant by using and further developing geometric conformal methods in General Rel-ativity. For a large class of source fields, including fluids with anisotropic stress, we prove that the space-times are future asymptotically simple and geometrically conformally regular. We use that result in order to show the global conformal regularity of the Einstein-Maxwell system as well as the Einstein-radiation, Einstein-dust, massless Einstein-Vlasov and particular Einstein-scalar field systems for Bianchi space-times. Taking into account previous re-sults, this implies the future non-linear+VacaVstability of some of those space-times in the sense that, for small perturbations, the space-times approach locally the de Sitter solution asymptotically in time. This extends some cosmic no-hair theorems to almost spatially homogeneous space-times. However, we find that the conformal Einstein field equations preserve the Bianchi type even at conformal infinity, so the resulting asymptotic space-times have conformal hair.
