Adeptus Arbites

we determine the guilty we decide to punishment

ABITES!!

Painting these space cops was a ton of fun. Ever since reading the Enforcer omnibus I've loved the idea of a full judge dredd army and this is the start of that dream.

I've only played with them once, in my last tournament of 9th, and they were kinda terrible 😂 but I've never let what is actually good take over my rule of cool in my lists and I ain't gonna start now.

A change of models that have been rescued. I've already started adding heavy and special weapons to some of them.

I'll likely use them as militia alongside the arbites

Units 5-6 and 5-7 preparing for deployment in support of the Arbites.

5-6 and 5-7 were originally bondsmen of a freeblade knight who was tried, found guilty of sedition and executed by the Adeptus Arbites. The 2 bondsmen, having been the ones to initially question the knights loyalty to both Terra and Mars were attached to the Arbites shortly after the execution and have served the Emperor in this role ever since.

The cyber mastiffs section of precinct 5, 3 Malfi pattern Eliminators used by the vigilant squads, 2 R-VR pattern used by the exaction squads, and a hardcase Mastiff used by the Subductors.

The new Kill Team rules for the Chaos Cult have some of the most coherent and compelling rhetoric I've ever seen from cultists in official GW anything. I love the throughline of "you'll still suffer but it won't be pointless anymore." I want the adventures of all of these cults.

Know your enemy, so that it may be found and excised with all certainty

The second 6 Imperial agents are done, complete with the banner of the 5th precinct, which will count as a mystic stave.

The first 6 inquisitorial agents and in the first picture the Inquisitor to lead them. These will be my Arbitrator Senioris' personal retinue.

This squad is a breaching team, with cutting gear for difficult or secure compounds, a concussion cannon (used as a multimelta) to subdue suspects once they've made entry, and shock mauls and cuffs for detaining high priority targets.

The proctor leading the team is denoted by the helmet crest, half way to the Senioris's full eagle helm.

The Rhino for the Subductor squad is pretty much complete, I'm pleased with how it's come out

Imperial Agents Rhino conversion underway. This will be used by the Subductor squad as it's a bit heftier than the standard rhino.

Upgraded with an old SoB rhino top plate out of the bits box with some greenstuff repairs on the front and left side, plus a greenstuff 'plug' on the rear hatch space.

Next up will be a light sand and clean, then a respray and paint. Lastly a set of transfers and then onto the others for a spruce up.

No precinct house is complete in the Imperium without it's trusty cyber mastiffs.

Precinct 5 currently has 3 patterns in service as seen above

A new Arbites Proctor has arrived in the form of Scrutinator-Primus Servalen. A quick weapon swap from pistol to shotgun and she's good to go leading an exaction squad.

[pax-imperium]

Here's the 2 Armiger's together, ready to support the arbites should the fighting be harder than expected. They've both had some basic basing done too, prior to texturing when they get painted

And here he is completed
