New Adeptus Arbites Are Back In Warhammer 40k

By Travis Pasch | January 27th, 2023 | Categories: 40k News & Articles, Adeptus Arbites, Tabletop Gaming News & Rumors

New Adeptus Arbites are back in Soulshakle, a 40k Kill team box set with Dark Eldar miniatures that was revealed at the LVO 2023 previews!

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen dedicated troop models for the Inquisition and the Adeptus Arbites, but there’s a chance we see them again soon!

Adeptus Arbites & Dark Eldar Coming to 40k Kill Team: (January 27th, 2023)

It’s no chance the Arbites are coming back to Warhammer 40k, as revealed at LVO 2023!

Like all the Kill Team releases, it will be a little while after this comes out that you can grab the models on their own in individual box sets.

We guessed at two of the models in this box, as they had some shrouded pictures in the New Year’s preview.

The Arbites will have a bunch of cool options, and we expect the box to come with a ton of bits.

They mentioned all the Arbites are pretty tough, have good armor, and can smash through anyone standing in their way.

We should mention, they said they will not be a full faction but will have playable rules in 40k.

From the sounds of it, they will go along with your Inquisitor, but it might be that any Imperial force can take them.

New Dark Eldar Upgarde Sprue

Unfortunately, there won’t be totally new Kabalites, but they will grab an upgrade sprue to make them a bit more unique!

There is already a ton of bits in the normal kit, but this adds even more.

Again, this is another shrouded mini released from the New Year’s preview, so hopefully, we will get the rest soon.

Last but not least, there will be a bunch of new terrain in the box featuring breachable walls, and a holo table readout of the map itself!

It looks like the rumors were TRUE! Arbites are back, revealed at LVO 2023!

RUMORS: Adeptus Arbites Troops Leak, Hidden In Plain Sight

This came from the leaks about what to expect next for 40k, and this could very easily be an Arbites re-imagined.

The shield is the key part here, but the head and even shoulder pads look very similar! This also makes sense because they are in tons of novels, artwork, etc., and GW pretty much never writes or draws art without actual models!

The models pictured above are from Necormunda nearly 20 years ago. Adeptus Arbites haven’t had new miniatures for a really long time, so it would be nice to see GW bring them back! Even if they came in a Kill Team box, it would be sweet to grab some.

Best of all, this may not all be wishlisting, as it seems there will definitely be some sore of new models coming for the Adeptus Arbites soon.

These new Arks of Omes rules, basically confirm it. If you read down near the bottom, they include the keyword Adeptus Arbites right there!

As we said, they never make rules for units that don’t have models! So, with the shrouded model and now this, it almost seems almost definite. This is about as official as it can get from Games Workshop without them directly saying it!

It might be a while until we see something, but we hope it’s sooner than later (perhaps at LVO even).
