Arbites (old and new) - Call the Law

Since we're moving very soon, I've started clearing out the loft of shame. What this means is basically clipping stuff off sprues, assembling what I can, before packing it up and sending it off to storage. The upshot of this is I can consolidate armies, get rid of cardboard boxes and then set the empty sprues aside to recycle (now GW is doing this - hooray).

Coinciding with this has been a few deliveries of some new stuff for my Arbites force - something that will be a large component of the first Barnhammer event (probably next year now).


Here are the assembled minis from the new Kill Team box.








I built them mostly as the specialist, as I had a number of other figures to use to fill out squads. Here are my old metal Arbites, on 28mm adapters, along with a 3d printed Arbites type figure. As you can see I never even finished painting the original squad.





Here's a size comparison between old, new and another 3d printed version.


The latter printed versions are great for using up left over bits from the KT box, and then for rounding out the squads with some printed heads and guns etc. So far I have a full 10 of these maul and shield guys, 8 more shotgunners, another leader type with a Voxcaster, a medic an a few others to make into heavy and special weapons versions. I'll post pics when they are further along.
