I've just had a quiet few days at work and knocked together an Adeptus Arbites list to use mainly for scenario play. I wasn't going to place it in the NetEA developmental list area as it is barely a fully fledged army and is only really suitable for having as an allied force when defending a precinct blockhouse or similar.
Just a few notes before it gets ripped apart-
The list was designed to have plenty of disrupt weapons to represent the non lethal dispersion weapons that the Arbites may use (nets, bolas launchers, choke grenades etc). Currently it is represented by a short ranged attack that the standard Arbites Patrol units have, but I was considering making it part of their firefight attack instead. Likewise I had considered adding it to the Shock Troops close combat attack, but this may be overkill.
Other things I had considered was adding ignore cover to the Arbites grenade launcher attack and also creating a different variant of the Valkyrie without the rocket pods, or maybe dropping it in favour of the Arvus. Also adding in some 'deputised' hive gang militia could enable it to almost be a stand alone army.
Any input to help develop the flavour of this list or tweak points values would be greatly appreciated.
------------*Update v1.3*--------------
Attachment:
-Updated various stats and points costs.
-Split the Tarantula Sentry Guns into seperate units to allow for varied FF values. Added melta variant. Added as a formation upgrade. Removed fearless rule.
-Suppression Teams now have 5+CC.
-Increased patrol size. New formation costs worked out against the Steel Legion stormtrooper formation as a baseline. Added Proctor character as part of the core units of most infantry formations.
-Changed Uprising formation size. Not sure on this yet.
-Added smaller patrol formation in the support choices list.
-Added roadblocks and fortified structures to help funnel vehicles.
I'm going to leave doing any more changes or updates to this until it has been tested, unless someone spots something vital I have missed.
------------*Update v1.2*--------------
-Updated the Repressor to use the same stats as the Orders Militant Adepta Sororitas list for cohesion.
-Tweaked the Shock Troops stats and renamed them to Suppression Teams.
-Added the 'Commander' special rule to proctors.
-Added mortiurge character. (Basically a sanctioned assassin the Arbites use to silence vocal dissenters)
-Added civilian uprising formation and an instigator type character for them.
-Added limits on purchasing support style formations.
