I do think it's a neat note in the Commissar Cain novels that alot of people call every law enforcer an arbites until they run into an actual arbites officer.
@@TactWendigo It doesn't happen in the Cain series, but it was a good comment about people calling any law enforcer arbites until they run into the real thing. There's a series about an Arbites Justicar that has this happen multiple times. Where people used to local enforcers run into the Justicar, who is an actual imperial arbites and discover how big a difference that means.
@@TactWendigo You can get the Omnibus under the title Enforcer, it's about a female Arbites who has just been reassigned to a hive world that's troublesome enough to have its own Arbites garrison.
Just imagine after a long day slaving away in a manufactorium you hear a knock on your door, open it and discover a hulking Arbites standing there who calmly informs you of your guilt regarding being the great grandson of some long dead heretic before emptying the barrels of his shotgun into your face before you can even figure out what by the Emperor's golden balls he is even talking about.

"Adeptus Arbities Open Up!" To be clearly and confidently declared by the point officer as the Krak charge blows the door off its hinges -Arbitrator guidance for announcing their presence to a citizen in their hab while serving a routine summons
Arch could you do a video on Imperial Commisars. How does their command structure intersect with the Imperial Guard's command structure, what are their official duties & reaches of their authority? How high up the Imperial Guard's command chain can they boss around without an official request from a higher office? What are the circumstances & procedures in which they can take over a regiment? Are there special formations of troops that are officially assembled to carry out their edicts? When can they receive orders from Imperial Guard officers? Etc
The Arbites (aka, the Judges) were in the original 40K Rogue Trader book. Right there next to the unexpectedly swole Administratum clerk, changed just enough from Mega-City One Judges to be distinct.
New theory. Judge Dredd takes place in the 40k universe during the Age of Strife and the Judges were reorganized into the Arbites after the Emperor united Terra.

Arbites usually don't give a crap about rural planets and they usually aren't bothered with petty crimes or even the 40k equivalent of a felony.

The Shira Calpurnia novels are great, if you're looking for WH40k themed law and order story. I'd actually put Calpurnia second on my list behind Cain as favorite books, since I'm not a big fan of space marines.
This book deserves praise simply for giving the picture of arrested people, being thrown into sacks with straps on, and then strapped to the outside of the Repressors because. This is how little the Arbites care about your welbeing and comfort. Also the part about enhanced interigation not being to determine guilt, but to make the prisoner realise their actual crime so their soul can be redemmed through atonement. 40K comes with its own kind of logic and when done right it is so fun.
Calpurnia is a great (series) or tome (in omnibusal format, with additional content notes), one of the best books from The Black Library, sits (for me) proudly next to Blood Bowl Omnibus tome, that being the funniest book (series) by BL.
The new arks of open detachment that GW previewed specifically mentions an arbites unit called an Exaction force which means the Arbites will be getting a killteam or a re-release of some kind.
I absolutely love the content, your background music gives a certain mischievous quality to your presentation that simply adds to the fun. Thank you for another fine presentation.
There is a mini series out there about the arbies the first in the series is called crossfire about the newly assigned arbites officer Shira Calpurnia. Crossfire, Legacy and Blind is the full series as far as I know at least.
Back in 5th edition I used the Grey Knight and Guard codexes to make an Arbites list with Coateaz various squads of henchmen, using the metal Necromunda enforcers with a squad of veteran guardsmen with shotguns in a valkyrie led by a lord commissar, an Ordo Xenos inquisitor with ALL the grenades leading crusaders with storm shields and power mauls and some Psyber mastiffs as death cult assassins in a storm raven. My centre piece unit was a kitbashed Interceptor squad mixing ravenwing parts with scout bikers.
Sadly, it looks like just a couple of units at best in an upcoming Agents of the Imperium Codex. Lets hope they get at least a HQ so we can run them as a whole army if we wish.
yes the Adaptus Arbites had rules in the 3rd and 4th ed. it was only a Chapter approved artical and they only had 3 units and a character at there largest. the Big thing of the army was the Web and Riot gear. Weapons that Rolled to wound against Str or the now deleted Initiative or where poisoned (4+) and the executioner round that let you ignore all terrain and cammo type affects. The Army.. Stat-wise they where the same as sisters, but only Carapace Armour Judge/Magister. (Character) Arbites Squad (troops) Arbite Man-hunter and his ciber mut. (elites) Arbite Handler and the Suicide Squad, with suicide Bomber zealots. Razorback (Heavy Support) They could use Chimera transports or Rino's as a dedicated transport.
As cool as they might be, I can't see GW making an Arbites army in the foreseeable future - it goes far too strongly against the Woke Pieties. They would HAVE to be portrayed as incompetent and/or villainous.
Its stuff like the Arbites that make me laugh my ass off when GW sues, strikes and everything else to protect there stuff, when they themselves stole from other people.
@@CJVS995 I know, like how the hell can they act high and mighty when they stole the chaos symbol from him, and then claim everybody is stealing from them.
You know I am having a hard time deciding if GW should have Guilliman fix the imperiums book of laws by taking out laws that were no longer in place. Because it would be a logical decision in universe (Guilliman wrote the codex Astartes I think he could write an imperial law book, and Napoleon himself fixed the confusing French laws into one napoleonic code). Admittedly don’t know if that would ruin the Arbites
Its not that easy Roboute has an intellect that defies human comprehension but even if he could read 1 page per second he’d have to go througy literally trillions of pages of decreed after decrees and then make decisions for each individual ones Fixing the lex imperialis would take years that he has to spend on other projects And redoing it from scratch would also be similarily daunting because we’re talking about a set of law that apply to the entire imperium it can’t be half assed
Oh boy, these guys. The guys who make no sense with their books of laws and how they constantly counter other laws, in the same book too. And constantly inacte brutal unjust punishment upon the actually innocent and not guilty in the slightest on the regular. But in the grimdarkness of the 41st Millennium, brutal law is better than potential anarchy of catastrophic proportion.
@21:10 Around here I thought about a great game: A grand strategy for scale but XCOM (original) for hunting down xenos and cultists. I could Midjourney the art and then build the mechanics (if I had the skill). Also a good way to both prototype an idea GW won't do and thumb my nose at the if it spreads.
So, in my own game of the all guardsmen party I played a secret Korne worshipping under hive gangster who was press ganged into the guard who ended looting a set of arbit armor and tower shield with a chain axe. So, you had a already large underhive gangster with muscle augmentations beefed up further by knorne decked out in some very good armor charging at you with a chain axe basically ignoring your gun fire.
You can give Inquisitorial Warrior Acolytes Boltguns and Boltpistols and/or Boltpistol and Power Maul. I was going to use that to represent Arbites Kill Squads. However, the new PDF for the Boarding Actions mentions Arbites in the Agents of the Imperium section. So, it's not a rumour. Its confirmed.
ATTENTION CITIZEN MULTIPLE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUALS REPORTED ONE OR MORE OF YOUR RECENT ACTIONS AS BEING INAPPROPRIATE some times I feel like GW and UA-cam are acting exactly like this.
Nope. A loyalist kurze would come up with something more effiecent. Arch video's are making me question just how much imperial resources are wasted on things that dont work.
I can't believe he didn't mention the Adeptus Arbites also got their own Strike Cruisers for when rapid responce and deployment is needed. One example is mentioned in the old Leoten Semper Battlefleet novels set during the 12th Black Crusade.
I think those strike cruisers aren't your SM or Navy strike cruisers but something like Navy Destroyers. The Arbiters ' void operations are mostly custom duty so they don't need the like of navy cruisers. The only branch of para/military forces under Imperium were left without some sort of warships are The Guards. They just ride on Navy ships.
Well, the one in the Leoten Semper story was compared to an Imperial mainline cruiser, so, this one was pretty much a full fledged strike cruiser. Also they don't tend to call escort vessels strike cruisers. The vessel in question was called the Inviolable Retribution, under the command of Adeptus Arbites Marshal Jamahl Byzantine. WH40k Lexicanum identifies the class as a Punisher Class Strike Cruiser.
@@huntermad5668 Arbites do have legitimate Strike Cruisers. They are probably built to different specifications then space marine Strike Cruisers but they are still full fledged strike cruisers built on the pattern and hull of marine’s SC
alternative class path or actual new class? Also given Darktide is about rejects, how would Arbites fit in? as a example of other frequently requested class, Commissars as a new Darktide class, it would make sense if it was a case of low ranker that did something they shouldn't have instead of a Lord Commissar rank.
@@drivanradosivic1357 well the starting classes are rejects doesent mean all of the other have to be either, a commisar or Arbiter going on a mission might aswell be looked at as a overseeing job.
I still have a late 80s or maybe early 90s Arbites mini. Big eagle on his helmet and a shotgun in hand. Love that dude. Only mini I have left of my original minis.
There absolutely is a law saying you can't have the same law twice. It's underneath the third law saying you can't have a law twice. Which is underneath another... I love bureaucracy.
AHH the Arbites, my first Warhammer 40k army back in the days. Still have the models laying round. The Good old days :). Thanks for that lore bit Arch brought back some good memories.
Wish something else was willing to be a sponsor. Bloody raid sticks their fingers in everywhere. Oh well ya gotta pay the bills somehow. Thanks for another great lore video
Arch or the knowledgable old ones in the comment section. I am interested in reading some 40k novels myself. Which are good and which ones aren't? A couple series or books for recommendation would be nice. Since I hear a lot of contradictions in lore or sub-par books. From what I have heard Horus Heresy is always good and Ciaphas Cane (right?) Might also be a helpfull video and fairly easy?; 1. Worth buying, 2. Worth reading, 3. Not worth reading, 4. Stay away from this mess!
I heard that the book on Inquisitor Draco & his Callidus Assassin girlfriend is a good one to read. 😈 (jk, just watch the TTS Podcast episode on that book, and spare yourself the brain bleach 😵)
The Nightlords omnibus is an okay place to start (it's what I started with). HH is a mixed bag, Just read the first three books for now. Ciaphas Cain is fun.
Ciaphas Cain stories are awesome, you can't go wrong there, and Sandy Mitchell is the author of all the Ciaphas Cain stories. In my opinion, better than the Horus Heresy novels. Also Gaunts Ghosts.
You can usually tell if a book will be good by knowing the author. -Aaron Demskii-Bowden is arguably the best writer for chaos space marines. But his strong bias against the emperor and imperium can be a problem. -Dan Abnett is great when writing for normal humans. But when he does a group project like HH his different writing style can be jarring. -James Swallow's writing style isn't very good. But if you can tolerate it, he usually has some cool ideas that are worth checking out. -Guy Hayley is a good writer and has more or less fixed all the problems people have with primaris marines and Cawl. -Chris Wrait is another good author. Once in a while he writes something cringe inducing but it's no big deal.

GOOD GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE NEVER EVER GOING TO COVER THESE GUYS!!!
I asked for this like 2-3 years ago!!!
Any chance of some Dredd lore?
The Shira Calpurnia novels are great, if you're looking for WH40k themed law and order story. I'd actually put Calpurnia second on my list behind Cain as favorite books, since I'm not a big fan of space marines.
HERESY !!
This book deserves praise simply for giving the picture of arrested people, being thrown into sacks with straps on, and then strapped to the outside of the Repressors because. This is how little the Arbites care about your welbeing and comfort.
Also the part about enhanced interigation not being to determine guilt, but to make the prisoner realise their actual crime so their soul can be redemmed through atonement.
40K comes with its own kind of logic and when done right it is so fun.
Calpurnia is a great (series) or tome (in omnibusal format, with additional content notes), one of the best books from The Black Library, sits (for me) proudly next to Blood Bowl Omnibus tome, that being the funniest book (series) by BL.
It's supposed to be kill team box set arbites vs dark eldar
Taking slaves on a Tuesday is against the LAW, POINTY EARED XENOS SCUM!
The sad part is it wasn’t even called Dredd 3D in the States, and I think it still under performed
The new arks of open detachment that GW previewed specifically mentions an arbites unit called an Exaction force which means the Arbites will be getting a killteam or a re-release of some kind.
It'd be nice to have updated models
@@deerhawk7788 they have previewed the silhouette.
@@ChrisKCook yeah I saw
And the sad part about Dred movie is that it is a near perfect example how 3d should be used in a movie. The 3d effects enhanced the story telling.
I absolutely love the content, your background music gives a certain mischievous quality to your presentation that simply adds to the fun. Thank you for another fine presentation.
There is a mini series out there about the arbies the first in the series is called crossfire about the newly assigned arbites officer Shira Calpurnia.
Crossfire, Legacy and Blind is the full series as far as I know at least.
Back in 5th edition I used the Grey Knight and Guard codexes to make an Arbites list with Coateaz various squads of henchmen, using the metal Necromunda enforcers with a squad of veteran guardsmen with shotguns in a valkyrie led by a lord commissar, an Ordo Xenos inquisitor with ALL the grenades leading crusaders with storm shields and power mauls and some Psyber mastiffs as death cult assassins in a storm raven. My centre piece unit was a kitbashed Interceptor squad mixing ravenwing parts with scout bikers.
I used some Arbites in Necromunda back in the day. One of my friends got all the magazines featuring all the supplemental rules for Necromunda.
Tis a shame that we never got the LH Kibs party wipe at the hands of Imperial Justice
What's Wrong Citizen? *Malicious Shotgun Noises*
Arbites have always been my favorite faction in 40k and I'm excited to see new rules for them
Sadly, it looks like just a couple of units at best in an upcoming Agents of the Imperium Codex.
Lets hope they get at least a HQ so we can run them as a whole army if we wish.
Well nice to know that Rogal's outdated physical copy of the Book of Judgement probably *could* be used as support beam.
ATTENTION CITIZEN!
yes the Adaptus Arbites had rules in the 3rd and 4th ed. it was only a Chapter approved artical and they only had 3 units and a character at there largest. the Big thing of the army was the Web and Riot gear. Weapons that Rolled to wound against Str or the now deleted Initiative or where poisoned (4+) and the executioner round that let you ignore all terrain and cammo type affects.
The Army.. Stat-wise they where the same as sisters, but only Carapace Armour
Judge/Magister. (Character)
Arbites Squad (troops)
Arbite Man-hunter and his ciber mut. (elites)
Arbite Handler and the Suicide Squad, with suicide Bomber zealots.
Razorback (Heavy Support)
They could use Chimera transports or Rino's as a dedicated transport.
Finally. I was waiting for this video to happen. Thank you Arch.
Obligatory comment for algorithm-kun
As cool as they might be, I can't see GW making an Arbites army in the foreseeable future - it goes far too strongly against the Woke Pieties. They would HAVE to be portrayed as incompetent and/or villainous.
New killteam teased recently
@@deerhawk7788 Huh, maybe I was wrong? Still, they're inherently better suited to small scale combat. Not sure what you'd put in a full fledged army.
Stallones german synchronization as Dredd sounds so much better than the murican one:
"IICH BIIN DAS GESETZ!"
Its stuff like the Arbites that make me laugh my ass off when GW sues, strikes and everything else to protect there stuff, when they themselves stole from other people.
@@CJVS995 I know, like how the hell can they act high and mighty when they stole the chaos symbol from him, and then claim everybody is stealing from them.
You know I am having a hard time deciding if GW should have Guilliman fix the imperiums book of laws by taking out laws that were no longer in place. Because it would be a logical decision in universe (Guilliman wrote the codex Astartes I think he could write an imperial law book, and Napoleon himself fixed the confusing French laws into one napoleonic code).
Admittedly don’t know if that would ruin the Arbites
Its not that easy
Roboute has an intellect that defies human comprehension but even if he could read 1 page per second he’d have to go througy literally trillions of pages of decreed after decrees and then make decisions for each individual ones
Fixing the lex imperialis would take years that he has to spend on other projects
And redoing it from scratch would also be similarily daunting because we’re talking about a set of law that apply to the entire imperium it can’t be half assed
Oh boy, these guys. The guys who make no sense with their books of laws and how they constantly counter other laws, in the same book too. And constantly inacte brutal unjust punishment upon the actually innocent and not guilty in the slightest on the regular.
But in the grimdarkness of the 41st Millennium, brutal law is better than potential anarchy of catastrophic proportion.
@21:10 Around here I thought about a great game: A grand strategy for scale but XCOM (original) for hunting down xenos and cultists. I could Midjourney the art and then build the mechanics (if I had the skill). Also a good way to both prototype an idea GW won't do and thumb my nose at the if it spreads.
The legal code, by itself, would be enough to drive men to chaos.
So, in my own game of the all guardsmen party I played a secret Korne worshipping under hive gangster who was press ganged into the guard who ended looting a set of arbit armor and tower shield with a chain axe. So, you had a already large underhive gangster with muscle augmentations beefed up further by knorne decked out in some very good armor charging at you with a chain axe basically ignoring your gun fire.
No one is a UA-camr unless they twerk for Raid. And Arch did it while wearing his Judge Dredd costume.
My favorite but rarely covered branch of the Adeptus Terra
A more palatable version of the inquisition that have *some* accountability
"Hey, check this out. Apparently it's illegal to stuff squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling."
-Paraphrased from Arbites Wiggun
You can give Inquisitorial Warrior Acolytes Boltguns and Boltpistols and/or Boltpistol and Power Maul. I was going to use that to represent Arbites Kill Squads.
However, the new PDF for the Boarding Actions mentions Arbites in the Agents of the Imperium section.
So, it's not a rumour. Its confirmed.
I like to think Night Lords were supposed to be the even higher form of Arbites. The astartes of internal policing.
ATTENTION CITIZEN MULTIPLE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUALS REPORTED ONE OR MORE OF YOUR RECENT ACTIONS AS BEING INAPPROPRIATE
some times I feel like GW and UA-cam are acting exactly like this.
Could you imagine these guys in the same world as the Loyalist Konrad Kurze.
They would just carry scalpels, instead of batons.
Nope.
A loyalist kurze would come up with something more effiecent.
Arch video's are making me question just how much imperial resources are wasted on things that dont work.
@@malaficus of course they'd be more efficient they'd be run by Space Marines
@@alexandercross9081
Considering how fucking psychotic the average night lord is, yeaaah… no.
I can't believe he didn't mention the Adeptus Arbites also got their own Strike Cruisers for when rapid responce and deployment is needed. One example is mentioned in the old Leoten Semper Battlefleet novels set during the 12th Black Crusade.
I think those strike cruisers aren't your SM or Navy strike cruisers but something like Navy Destroyers. The Arbiters ' void operations are mostly custom duty so they don't need the like of navy cruisers.
The only branch of para/military forces under Imperium were left without some sort of warships are The Guards. They just ride on Navy ships.
Well, the one in the Leoten Semper story was compared to an Imperial mainline cruiser, so, this one was pretty much a full fledged strike cruiser. Also they don't tend to call escort vessels strike cruisers. The vessel in question was called the Inviolable Retribution, under the command of Adeptus Arbites Marshal Jamahl Byzantine.
WH40k Lexicanum identifies the class as a Punisher Class Strike Cruiser.
@@huntermad5668
Arbites do have legitimate Strike Cruisers. They are probably built to different specifications then space marine Strike Cruisers but they are still full fledged strike cruisers built on the pattern and hull of marine’s SC
Long live Arbites Foreboding, the in-universe much publicized tri-d character
I heard somewhere that Arbitees figure might be coming, I wish because theyre soo F-ING COOOL
Also wish they made a class for Darktide.
alternative class path or actual new class? Also given Darktide is about rejects, how would Arbites fit in?
as a example of other frequently requested class, Commissars as a new Darktide class, it would make sense if it was a case of low ranker that did something they shouldn't have instead of a Lord Commissar rank.
@@drivanradosivic1357 well the starting classes are rejects doesent mean all of the other have to be either, a commisar or Arbiter going on a mission might aswell be looked at as a overseeing job.
@@drivanradosivic1357 Calpernia of the Enforcer omnibus did get hard jailed so I think it's possible.
I still have a late 80s or maybe early 90s Arbites mini. Big eagle on his helmet and a shotgun in hand. Love that dude. Only mini I have left of my original minis.
Damn it's older than me!
There absolutely is a law saying you can't have the same law twice. It's underneath the third law saying you can't have a law twice. Which is underneath another...
I love bureaucracy.
Boost!
AHH the Arbites, my first Warhammer 40k army back in the days. Still have the models laying round. The Good old days :).
Thanks for that lore bit Arch brought back some good memories.
I heard some about them and always been interested from what I heard, thanks for the lore video.
YES! THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Raid sheckle legends, no other youtubers skirt the line but what's the renumeration look like in terms of how many models I can buy?
Wish something else was willing to be a sponsor. Bloody raid sticks their fingers in everywhere. Oh well ya gotta pay the bills somehow. Thanks for another great lore video
Spent a hour streaming, and watching your videos is a good tone down to relax and watch.
The Squats came back, maybe the Army of the Dredd will return. Fighting against the Genestealers would be right in their wheelhouse.
Genestealer cults and adeptus arbites are a match made in heaven. Or hell 😂
I've been waiting for this lore vid for a long time.
Arch or the knowledgable old ones in the comment section. I am interested in reading some 40k novels myself. Which are good and which ones aren't? A couple series or books for recommendation would be nice. Since I hear a lot of contradictions in lore or sub-par books.
From what I have heard Horus Heresy is always good and Ciaphas Cane (right?)
Might also be a helpfull video and fairly easy?; 1. Worth buying, 2. Worth reading, 3. Not worth reading, 4. Stay away from this mess!
Dont read HH its crap for redditors. Get old codexes, old books and stay away from HH until you can quote 1-3ed codexes from memory.
I heard that the book on Inquisitor Draco & his Callidus Assassin girlfriend is a good one to read. 😈
(jk, just watch the TTS Podcast episode on that book, and spare yourself the brain bleach 😵)
The Nightlords omnibus is an okay place to start (it's what I started with). HH is a mixed bag, Just read the first three books for now.
Ciaphas Cain is fun.
Ciaphas Cain stories are awesome, you can't go wrong there, and Sandy Mitchell is the author of all the Ciaphas Cain stories. In my opinion, better than the Horus Heresy novels. Also Gaunts Ghosts.
You can usually tell if a book will be good by knowing the author.
-Aaron Demskii-Bowden is arguably the best writer for chaos space marines. But his strong bias against the emperor and imperium can be a problem.
-Dan Abnett is great when writing for normal humans. But when he does a group project like HH his different writing style can be jarring.
-James Swallow's writing style isn't very good. But if you can tolerate it, he usually has some cool ideas that are worth checking out.
-Guy Hayley is a good writer and has more or less fixed all the problems people have with primaris marines and Cawl.
-Chris Wrait is another good author.
Once in a while he writes something cringe inducing but it's no big deal.
You know there have been some leaks(miniature silhouettes) recently about a possible Arbites squad, I would love to pick one or 2 up!
Ah the Arbites where police brutality is always the answer.
To be fair, there's little in 40k that's not fixed by adding some more brutality into the mix. :D
@@johnkonig865 Khorne's very existence ?
It's usually the first, last, only and most pleasurable answer.
-Brutality- _Zeal_
Fixed it for you citizen.
I was just thinking god I'm bored. And then a needed hero appears
We need a good horror game with Arbites vs GeneStealers it would be great and interesting to play.
The movie Dredd is EXCELLENT. You should really go watch it! I can't stress it enough, it's a great movie!

I forget his name but the Arbites in Execution Hour has to be one of my favourite characters in 40k
