With the release of the Codex: Agents of the Imperium, the codex has 3 Battleline units; Deathwatch Veterans, Imperial Navy Breachers, and Adeptus Arbites Vigilant Squad. Deathwatch eventually would receive their own mini codex. The Adeptus Arbites are missing some characters, and in this article I am going to be discussing on how we can convert two of the existing characters; Inquistor and Ministorum Priest, into Adeptus Arbites Characters Marshal and Arbitrator. Marshal A high administrative rank, comparable to a Magistrate but with increased seniority, Marshals take the rule of law to the darkest dens of scum and depravity, dispensing Imperial justice in a bright arc of muzzle flare. Marshals normally command the Arbites presence on an entire Imperial world or even several star systems (use Inquistor Datasheet) M 6" T 3 SV 4+ W 4 LD 6+ OC 1 INVULNERABLE SAVE 5+ Ranged Weapon: Bolt Pistol Combi-Weapon Arbites Combat shotgun (Range 18" A 2 BS 3+ S 4 AP 0 D 1 Assault) Arbites Shotpistol (Range 12" A 1 BS 3+ S 4 AP 0 D 1 PIstol) Melee Weapon: Arbites Melee Weapon- Range Melee A 5 WS 3+ S 4 AP -2 D 1 Abilites: Leader Assigned Agents Authority of the Emperor- While this model is leading a unit, it can embark within any Transport that its bodyguard unit can embark within Power of the Law- Each time you target this model's unit with a strategem, roll one D6: on a 3+ you gain 1CP.

I'm doing a 8th edition Adeptus Ministorum condex, not necessarily because we're in dire need of one, but because I want to I've got some thoughts on how to do AoFs, but no time to type them out right now. For now, here's the unit entries for the 3 Troops choices in the codex. For the most part I'll be working off of my 7E Codex: Adeptus Ministorum and reworking it for 8th (there will be significant paring down of rules to keep in line with the other armies in 8E). I probably won't be changing many weapon stat lines or abilities from the Index list (I'll need a good reason to if I do), but there are a few notes: AoF: like I said, I'm still thinking on it SoF: 6++ and some kind of replacement for Adamantium Will (not the worthless little thing they gave us in the Index, but I haven't thought about it much) Righteous Will: Bonus to Morale checks when the unit contains 10 or more models Heirs of the Sororitas: Wounds may not be allocated to models with this ability as long as the unit contains any models without this ability. Ecclesiarchy Relics: I will carry over all of the relics I resurrected for my 7E codex Thread for Codex: Adeptus Ministorum (7th Edition) Oh, and you can thank Sister Alessia for prompting me to get started on this so quickly :P
