There’s a new rumor floating around, and it looks like Games Workshop is talking about Adeptus Arbites in the upcoming White Dwarf!
The latest rumor was spotted on The Bolter & Chainsword. It shows a very interesting line talking about Adeptus Arbites that is supposedly from the upcoming White Dwarf. Could we be seeing the galactic police force of the Imperium of Man returning to the tabletop?
This is just a rumor, so make sure you add a little salt.
In this months White Dwarf, in the Temporal Distort feature on page 132, there is a paragraph that caught my eye:
“.. the Adeptus Arbites haven’t been seen around much lately, but with the likes of Genestealer Cults on the rise again, who knows when they might be back?”
Now, you could say that it’s not much of rumour, but when you combine it with the rumour engine clue from the 26th September, the Eagle head, then it becomes a little more credible.
The Rumor Engine picture he’s talking about is this one:
The Imperium is seeing a big rise of cults popping up all over the place right now, and it would seem they need a police force to keep everyone in line. Who better to police their people than the Adeptus Arbites? After all, they were granted the power of judge, jury, and executioner by the High Lords of Terra.
The last time we saw any minis for the Adeptus Arbites was in the early 2000’s as they were a field-able skirmish force for Specialist Games’ Necromunda.
Is it time for GW to bring them back as we know Necromunda is coming in November.

But, once again, this is just a rumor, this is all speculation, and we won’t know anything for sure until GW decides it’s time for us to know.
They are the law! What do you think about the latest rumor? Are we going to be seeing the return of the Adeptus Arbites?
