Arbitrary Arbitrators

Completion. Closure. Ahhhh, what a pleasant feeling.

If I pull my memories back, I think I wanted this unit about at least six or seven years ago. At the very least! Many things happened through the way, though. Anyway, this is not a ranting blog, but a place of solutions and results! So, after long years since I bought those old Necromunda Enforcers, after failed attempts of cloning (inexistent or enormously, absurdly expensive) bits, patient eBaying and finally greenstuffing, after all that wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff... I've finished a full squad of Adeptus Arbites with shields and mauls.

As I said, I used the Necromunda Enforcers. I needed more, as I wanted a ten men squad and the kit included seven minis. The old regular Arbites wouldn't be of any use, because of the pose and the helmet, so I got some other Enforcers. They all needed some conversion work, as they are not really designed for this riot control stuff. Here you have the Judge and the bloke who came with the heavy stubber, now conveniently suitable for their duty.

Oh, and the cyber-hound!

Now an example of what I did with these. The man on the left is equipped with the original gear. For the rest I had to improvise power mauls with the Skitarii box (best bits box ever) or several bits from here and there.

However, they do their part

This is the full squad:

Give that dog a shield too!

So I was saying closure was the keyword today. With these, my Arbites look this way:

Well, I think this is quite a force

Three ten men squads (shotgun/ bolter/ maul & shield), a wheeled transport, an air transport, a drone, a K9 and a Sentinel.
Well, yes, I could get a dog handler and a remote controler for the drone, but you know, I could happily declare this army finished. Yes. It is finished. Finally. Ahhh, completion, as I said, what a pleasant fe...

Oh, wait.

It would be reasonable to think that GW may release new Arbites for the new Necromunda. Ouch. Oh, and have you seen the Artel W stuff?

Oh, why? Whyyyyyyy?
