I have finally finished my Adeptus Arbites squad. This is the 812th Squad from the 77th Parish.
The Repressor is the Forge World kit, I have pretty much built it as is.
The infantry are made from Cadians. The shotguns are cut down lasguns. I took off the muzzle, sight, charge pack and stock to make a combat shotgun. The heads are from Pig Iron and I used resin bases. I havered over the shields but eventually scratch-built them from thin plastic. They are covered in varnish because the plastic was too transparent. The varnish makes them a little opaque and more in keeping with a repressor field. They are liberally armed with grenades.
The officer is a Spyglass Imperial Captain and is armed with a power sword and plasma pistol. The sergeant has a bolt pistol and power maul.
They can be played as Imperial Guard veterans with carapace armour. Use the commissar rules for the officer.
Good looking unit & those riot/suppressor shields are a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteVery nice - I like that Repressor model. The shields look great, although you should try some Tamiya Clear Blue on them, just to give that forcefield hue. Any of the other Tamiya Clear colours would work, but would also provide a strong contrast to the uniform colour.
ReplyDeleteI love those riot shields - that is a fantastic idea, one I'd never thought of! Overall the squad looks excellent, and I especially like how the Repressor turned out. Inspiring stuff!
ReplyDeletethe squad and tank looks great! the arbites have some great fluff and you really pulled that out in the models. great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat work john.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. The shields did come out well. The Tamiya clear blue sounds an interesting idea.

Fantastic kitbash and scratchbuild! I was building a unit last week with cut down lasguns to be used as shotguns, now I know where the inspiration came from. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing! The riot shields are awesome! Great work on this!
ReplyDeleteDear rabid & Darksol
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. The kind remarks are very morale boosting.

An excellent use for all of those blister packs....
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the work on the captain figure, very nicely done. Also jealous of your repressor.
I'd never seen that Repressor model before. A very nice set, well executed all around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely looking squad. You should be very very proud mate.
