Codex: Adeptus Arbites

[Hugus]

In here i'm posting a possible legal army for the Adeptus Arbites. Of couse all the units are rules conversion from an existing Codex and from looking at my avatar shoudn't be that hard to figure out which one. It goes like this:

HQ

Lord Judge =Inquisitor Lord
Retinue: 3-12 members
Veteran Proctor (carapace armour standard) =Acolyte
Riot Arbites (Power Maul & Supression Shield) =Crusader
Arbites (Shotgun standard) =Veteran Guardsmen
Combat Arbites =Combat Servitor
Support Arbites =Gun Servitor
Tactical Advisor =Sage
Psi Blank (Have you read Eisenhorn Novels?) =Penitent
Medicae =Chirurgeon

0-5 Riot Team Controler (Carapace armour standard) =Priest

Elites

Judge =Inquisitor
Retinue: 0-6 members (see above)

Riot Team (Power Maul & Supression Shield) =Arco-Flagellants
must have Riot Team Controler in the force

Demolition Team (Chainfist and Melta-bombs standard) =Sisters Repentia
not sure about including these

Adeptus Arbites Spotters (Power Maul & Supression Shield standard) =Death-Cult Assassins

Imperial Assassin

Troops

Adeptus Arbites Patrol Team (Shotgun standard) =Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

Sniper Team (Shotgun standard) =Space Marine Scout Squad

Fast Attack

----------------------------
(not sure about including any in here)

Heavy Support

Fire Team =Retributor Squad

Exorcist

Riot Vehicle Team =Penitent Engine
must have Riot Team Controler in the force

For those of you which are not very aware of the Arbites the power maul works as a power weapon and the supression shield transforms the armour save into invulnerable save.

I'm not posting any points cost as it would go against Copyright GW.
Hope that by not posting them i don't get this thread locked or edited (or even deleted).

Hope you enjoy this and would like to ear what you think of it....

hummm 1 problem

ALL Arbitarys officers are judges.

Judge jenna sherben
Judge Virgil Ortega

every officer is a judge m8, mab u shud call them Sgt?

[Hugus]

If you brownse the web you'll that there is a term widely used for that... Proctor... don't really know what it is but....

Otherwise what do you think about it??? Doable?

I think they are a bit too super-trooper'ish... After all the Adeptus Arbites are really just the Hive World Police Forces... I like the idea of the shotgun being standard weaponry for the troops though...

As for fast attack I think Sentinels would be great and would fit in with the fluff very well... Leman Russ Battle Tanks for Heavy Support would also fit the fluff well...

As for transports they should have Rhinos...

You would have to make completely new stats and rules for every new type of unit to really make it fit...

I think I remember someone actually posting an exellent Adeptus Arbites Codex a while back... Try doing a search...

Well the reason behind this list is making it a legal army, even for Official GW Tournaments. If you take a closer look all choices are completely in the same manner as the WH's and so should allow you to play them with no 'with youre opponent's permision' sentence showing up.

Because of that i'm still thinking about which units to actually include because of the Scouts not permiting the use of Sisters. Other thing i have to look at (at work, no available Codex) is the possibility of including Scout bikers and including them in the Fasts Attack slots.

This is just a starting idea....idle minds make ....
