TheMawr Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Arbites look cool, they really strike me ( always did ) as a link between various imperial agencies, a Custodes, sororitas and assassins are brought together ( aesthically) if you put arbites between them. Drukhari seem a bit light on the upgrade bits though. grailkeeper and Alby the Slayer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alby the Slayer Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Best reveal of LVO for me. 30 minutes ago, TheMawr said: Drukhari seem a bit light on the upgrade bits though. True. Ming the Merciless and Brother Borgia 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Arbite holding the pistol on both hands has a facemask that looks kinda Eldarish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legionary Pallas Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Well, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Arbites. Perhaps it was just pessimism on my part that I had low expectations when I heard the rumours of another Imperium team while there's still several others out there still stuck with the Compendium (and poor Votann have nothing at all). The style of the armour reminds me in particular of Sisters of Silence, especially that big shoulder pad. I hope they play as nicely as they look.

Fire Golem Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think it’s very 40k that the Necromunda Enforcer ‘beat-cops’ are fairly grounded sci-fi riot police and the Arbites ‘super cop’ are dressed like medieval knights.

beefeb Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Im not too sure, some of the aspects of the Arbites are good, some not so. I get there is a homage to the old designs going on....but 40K was getting more grimdark than the olden days. The sgt/leader with the massive helm and the floating loudhailer is a big pass. Perhaps the set needs a different colour....Im not a great lover of black armour personally. I like the rest apart from the scooby doo posed dog. brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephaston Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Finally, Misters of Battle. Now to greenstuff some Fleur de Lis on those codpieces. On a more serious note they are basically perfect, especially since they allegedly come in 3 distinct flavours, one of which is Oops all riot shields.

jimbo1701 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thrilled with this. Been waiting over 2 decades for an update to these guys and has not disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-Four-Arms Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Webber for the Arbites as well (1st and 2nd picture, trooper in the hatchway behind the leader), noice ! Calgar 2.0 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I really hope they have made more units of this box than they did Shadowvaults but I fear that the production run would have been fixed months ago. Whilst the consoles look quite cool, it will be interesting to see if they offer any mechanics other than on / off switches. Keen to know more about eh breachable walls too. As for Arbites...I think they will grow on me. I like that their aesthetic is substantially different to previous human factions (other than Sisters as noted above). They feel pretty Dredd to me, looking forward to the YouTube battle reports with poor Stallone voiceovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalt Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Arbites are perfect. 10/10, good job GW. The kabalites also look great, but I guess they'll have the same problem as Phobos and GW not wanting to give too many extra new things to baseline troops.

Aramis K Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Surprised how much I enjoy the Arbites. Most characterful kill-team since the Orks imho. HolyPestilience 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painting.for.my.sanity Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Arbites are absolutely perfect. I will definitely be adding a squad of them to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The children of Judge Dredd and a Sister of Battle... Some very nice poses in there. Arbites are not my thing but these are looking good. Loving the additions to the terrain though, shame it's so expensive and the rules aren't cheap either. SpaceDwalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Arbites are awesome, I was hoping for something new for Dark Eldar … but in reality was expecting only a smattering of an upgrade sprue… and GW has unfortunately not let me down… . at least I’ll get the terrain I need ! I wasn’t going to just buy a double sized box of boarding terrain… I’d rather get this ! M Alby the Slayer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I didn't expect to say this, but it's a no for me. I really like the extra terrain pieces - I hope GW sells them as a pack once all four KT boxes are out to add to the boarding terrain set and I do need a second pack of the base walls (as I missed out on the second box due to stock) but the actual models aren't inspiring. I wasn't expecting to like the dark Eldar to be honest, nothing in that range has ever done it for me, but I was expecting to like the Arbites and I just don't. I can't put my finger on exactly why, it might e the strong edge rims down the front of the chest and legs and it may be it goes away with a less obnoxious edge highlight job, but I can't see myself fighting to pick up the KT box before it sells out and then I'm not going to buy them full price as a stand alone team.

Cyrox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Arbites are amazing, and aside from the daft names, I love them. The leader with his retro helm is spot on My only slight issue is the paint job - maybe the undersuit and armour need to contrast more? I like the idea of breachable terrain.

sairence Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Surprisingly don't care too much for the Arbites. They really look like male SoB to me, which doesn't feel right. And the doggo doesn't look vicious enough for what I imagine his role to be. Looks like he's standing at attention, would have like some snarling teeth and an attack pose of some kind. brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastor Krieg Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Arbites are excellent sculpts, love the Proud Doggo. Drukharii are indistinguishable from basic Kabalites to me, shame.
