ok this is a fun project for me.

I'll be using these in a couple of missions I have been cooking up.

#1: a turf war is happening in a slum town. two squads must try and control the slums. but they have to watch out for a roaming patrol of Adeptus arbites. basically the arbites will attack any squads they see. All squad members OOA by an arbite are automatically classified as being captured and will be placed in a local Jail. Any captured models may be liberated by their remaining members but will have to fighter their way through more Arbites.

#2: [solo mission] The Adeptus Arbites are patrolling a slum town. Your squad has vital information and you must get out of the net of Law. for each member of your squad who get out you gain 1 exp, plus 2d6x3 credits worth of items you have smuggled out. more to add but still working on the dynamics of this mission.....

enough of my blabbering here are the pics:

Adeptus Arbite Shock troops


Penal Legion [orange jump suits????]


Will post more pics of the Adeptus Aribite Shotgun troops but waiting for some more bitz to arrive.

Hi LGW,

The guy playing the Savlar Chem Dogs, is treating them as a penal legion and also going for the orange jump suit look (Great minds think alike). It'll be interesting to see how yours turn out. I was going to paint one model - to see how it turns out (I've never painted orange before). Your colour schemes take my own ideas in new directions (I tend towards standard schemes most of the time) - nice work.

Just a thought on the Adeptus Arbites (as you are clearly a converter at heart), have you seen the human blood bowl players from the box set game? - they strike me as perfect Arbites conversion fodder. Also, had you thought about cyberhounds? (Is that the right name?) - I can't find very much of quality to fill this gap.

Cheers Laney

If you are looking for Arbite material there is a Necromunda gang that is an Arbite one.

Check it out as they have cyber dogs. I had started an Arbit squad a long long time ago but I have no idea where that stuff is but info was pulled from the Necromunda squad.

Are you talking about the cyberhound that comes with the Necromunda Arbite squad?

... AND your conversions are WAY cooler!

I was referring more to the cyberhound and the set as a source.
Could check eBay for cheaper sources, but I'm guessing you've done that.

Oh, excellent conversions by the way!

thx

yeah been looking on ebay for awhile now...got some more bitz today so will add some more figs to the thread once I've done the conversions...

Cheers

WTF?!?! Are those Auspexii??? CRAZY MAN! Space Wolf Helmets?!?! HA! You are insane! WOW! I'm in shock... hehehe... can you PLEASE give a list of materials?

GREAT conversions... you are a true hobbyists! Thanks for sharing!

Nice work on the cyberhounds - great idea to use the space puppy helmets. I'd say great conversions - but It's more like a scratchbuild, given the range of parts you've used and what you've done with them. Must have taken some playing around to get the dimensions/parts right on those dogs!

I second Mordheimer - parts list please - or better yet a mini-tutorial (if you plan on more).

The shotgun combat team look very arbites with those laurels. Again good work - love to it when its painted (my paints are all packed away in boxes till the 21st - so you've got to help me with more hobby goodness!)

Cheers Laney

Wow... creative stuff!

I 2nd Laney... when you decide to make more doggies, please make a Tutorial (post it on the Tutorial section)... it is a scratch built like no other! BRAVO!
