New Article - Praise the Emperor! The Emperor's word is the Law, and the Arbites are the voice by which that word is spoken!

[W.A.Rorie]

 

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
