I've been considering how I would want to run the ad-mech I've been working on and have been torn between the guard, SM and CSM books, with no single one really offering me a reasonable set of rules to properly represent the various units. But now I'm looking at it again in a whole new way - Awesome!<br /><br />I really like the idea of an Arbites force being represented by a Guard/SM or SM/Guard allied army! I've dabbled with using the Grey Knights list to do an Arbites contingent for my guard, but it became prohibitively expensive to "properly" kit out the warrior acolytes, and while the crusader with storm shield and power weapon works for the armaments, they don't have the appropriate carapace armor.<br /><br />Great post, thought-provoking stuff!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-78950407129542318652012-12-28T13:14:40.714+00:002012-12-28T13:14:40.714+00:00I like the idea of Guard Veterans as the Arbites a...I like the idea of Guard Veterans as the Arbites and the Priest with Eviscerator as a Cyber Mastiff isn't too much of a stretch. <br /><br />I once played an entire Grey Knights Army which was Inquisitor orientated which was made up of Ork conversions to represent all the different types of henchmen and it worked.
