I understand that having an arbites army in the tabletop doesnt make that much sense from a lore standpoint but damn if i wish that there were enough models to have a full scale army
Sure it does. Gene stealer/chaos cultist uprising scenario. Edit: not sure their rules but with their "power" you could technically add any units as add ons and it be lore accurate. Squad of tempestus scions, squad of Ogryn or guardsman, Inquisitors, or maybe a squad of first-born Space Marines!

I am relatively new to diving into the 40k universe, and it's like drinking from a fire hose with all the Lore and backstories and I love it. I love these videos and these Dredd like characters are awesome. Awesome video, good work.
Its a big rabbit hole but so worth it. I have never played the table top but I have read a ton of the novels and played some of the video games. I love how you have obvious bad guys like Dark Eldar and Chaos and then you have the "good guys" who are still terrible enough to make Hitler look like a nice guy.
Oh also its debatable on whether Tyranids are evil or just animals, I mean they do act based on hive minds, but so do many insects in the real world, whether or not tyranids are subject to morality of good and evil is in debate, are they immoral killers or are they just a hungry lion feeding on antelope.
@stanboyd1 that's what I love, then there's rhe heresy in the "good guys" as well, this whole despair and violence and survival atmosphere in this universe, with little thought given to a universe without the fighting, so deeply entrenched in surviving, its easy to get lost in.
"But then you would stand Guilty of wasting my ammunition" I think outside of Primarchs that has to be like my top 3 favorite quotes ive heard in general
Remember, the Imperium of Man contains untold trillions of living souls, the Inquisition/any single Inquisitor is not a monolith... you have no idea how many Inquisitors are "good", you only know of the infinitesimally tiny number of Inquisitors that have any information written about them, to explain what the "rule is" with so little information is inaccurate to say the least...
Considering we play death row inmates of the Imperium, I'm not sure that could work. However! The choice of a sort of max level Arbites prestige class for say the Veteran might work.
Law & order: special heretical unit. Within the many laws of the imperium there are a great many who can turn away from the emperor’s light. I’m these are the stories of those who takes to hunt down these heretics.
This transmission was a blast, brother Remembrancer! 🙌I was expecting a short one, but it was indeed a treat. 🙂Great job as always, it was beautifully presented! ❤❤❤
My homebrew often sends chapter serfs to serve as subordinates to Arbites agents within the system. The cooperation between inquisition, chapter, and arbites helps with stability which is always a fragile thing when populations the size of those found on hive worlds are involved. It’s inevitable that criminal organizations and ambitions rebel groups rise.
Thank you so much for making this Video! It's amazing to see that one of the greatest 40k lore channels covered this topic. The Arbites are by far my most favorite non-battlfield faction in 40k, probably because i'm a huge fan of jugde dredd and a nerd when it comes to law enforcement in media. I got myself 5 Soulshackle Boxsets and painted all the Arbites in one sitting, which i never do with my other armies. 😭
Hope we get more Arbites novels as they are so cool and help with he universe building of how the common person lives and interacts with these elements of the Imperium.
I want to see crazy rules for 40K. Especially for large scale campaigns. Where you can truly go wild with time, the warp & Legion/Chapter creation. Maybe your Chapter 's planetary system was warp isolated/influenced. Which caused a mutation allowing for Space Marine procreation. A mini version of the Emperor's galaxy. Where everything worked out. They have male & female marines, no Chaos & planetary transportation via a web-way. A storied history where several humanoid types were saved from isolated greatest demons & zenos alike. Only to have the entire thing come crashing down. When the real empire discovers them.
The Imperium owns its survival for the past ten thousand years for them as they kept the Emperor realm together through his laws, and without them Chaos would have sweep across the Imperium with no resistance.
Back in the Rogue Trader days before 3rd Edition there was no such thing as they are BT's they were a chapter of Space Marines called Space Police, in full beaky power armor with their own chapter flag and everything! I am so glad that they switched over to more of a Judge Dredd thing cuz it fits them so much better than just a bunch of MP's that are Space Marines as you know damn well Space Marines would not have the time to be doing all that they're not built for that they don't care about criminality and uprisings unless they're told to go there to kill things😅😅😅😅😅
As someone with a diagnose of schizo effective, watching tv with volume off while listening to the radio at full blast is an experience that is worth doing
I really wish there was something like a miscellaneous imperial loyalists faction to give larger scale tabletop representation of hive gangers, rouge traders, abites, and others. At the very least combine the inquisition, officio assassin, and grey nights into one inquisition codex instead of having 3 separate smaller incomplete feeling codexes. Then maybe add in arbites and tempestus scions as troupe choices for more variety. (I just really want arbites units.) While I'm out here making wishes that I know will never come true give the tau more xenos auxiliary. make another xeno guard hibred faction between the tau and human trators. Give the orks more gretchin and units like a night goblin equivalent. Make a dark mecanicum faction but non chaos allied, I want to see xeno's tech, AI robots, and other tech heresy. Chaos xenos. And finally maiden world Eldar.
The Inquisition will FELL the Pain from an Arbite if they see a inquisitor do anything that goes against the law (Book of Judgment) And really! The Inquisition really should act like the Adeptus Arbites! They are all what inquisitor should be! The only ones that the Adeptus Arbites can't do anything to is the Spacemarines. Because they are just bigger and stronger haha
A killer video game idea would be a far cry style game where you play as the sole survivor of the fortress precinct following a massive chaos cult uprising and the entirety of the game is spent dismantling the chaos cult and leading a huge guerilla war against them
One thing I've learned from WH40K is that if you steal from the works of another it's totally fine as long as what you do with it makes the fanbases of said work look at what you've done with it and say "Ohhhhhh heelllll yeeeaah"
Considering one of the first games GW had the licence to distribute was a Judge Dredd game it is a very little surprise they took the look and idea of the Judges and shoe horned it into the 40k universe.
My theory is that warhammer 40k is just the judge Dredd universe in the distant future. And that the artbites are the distant decendents of the judges of the past. Also remember not to feed your starving family rat....it's against the law.
I thank you for the transmission, Rememberencer. You mentioned Enforcers a few times, would these include the Palanite Enforcers or are they totally separate as I know they are tasked with enforcement of the Planetary Governor's will? Would it be possible to eventually receive a transmission based on Palanite Enforcers and Palanite Subjugators one day if they are a separate entity? Thank you again., I hope you have a fulfilling week ahead.
They are actually different. Palanite enforcers are pdf enforcers, and in this case, enforcers of Necromunda's Governor (don't remember the name). PDF (planetary defense forces, not the file format xD) are just the governor's private army. The thing is, this can lead to confussion because enforcer is also a rank inside the adeptus arbites, plus, i think the adeptus arbites are actually the pdf of Terra xDD.
How comparable are they to Space Marines? They seem to use similar armor and gear, but are they also creates from a gene seed? They can fire a bolter, which appears to be a regular version and not the scaled down variant used by some Imperial Officers.
Absolutely not comparable. They are just very well trained humans, their armour is carapace equivalent, and all weapons they use are human sized. They have excellent training, upper ranks likely cybernetic and genetic modifications, but ultimately, the best of the best would be comparable to a Tempestus Scion stormtrooper martial ability-wise.
Well many chapter worlds are death worlds with little or no civilized presence to begin with, and many others recruit from the scum of the under city of the hives, but for those that are more civilized like ultramarines successors that is an interesting question

The Arbites provide an interesting look into how the civilian side of the Imperium operates on worlds that aren't active warzones.
I can see these type of forces being used post the second civil war.
So, basically they cover the problems that don't require the attention of the inquisition? But obviously cannot be left alone?
