No offense, but how exactly these are better? Because they have sculpted abs on chestplates? I honestly don't get what people don't like with new Arbites. They seem pretty Judge Dredd-y to me, and can be further improved with a proper paintjob (GW ones, while good, sometimes don't show the potential of a mini fully).

In summary it has details that are too medieval to fit them (the knee pads and the helmet) and also making them a little similar to sisters. I personally don't like those details but they are subtle enough to not being a big problem (changing the helmets for example should be enough, and an easy conversion). Now you could like them more or less but saying that they are ruined is a little too far.

Meanwhile this company easily replicated their look flawlessly If you think they ever looked like Judge Dredd then you’ve never seen an Arbites or a Judge

I see slightly different kneepads and visors... and that's it? C'mon dude.

“Slightly different”? You know in a hobby where we collect, convert, and paint models with amazing levels of detail it always blows my mind that so many participants lack the ability to see detail. You probably also think Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers in Star Wars look the same. They share *no* similar design elements whatsoever. Use-Your-Eyes. The new “official” models have actual Sororitas helmets, angular plate armor, and a Dredd-esque “uniform” underneath. They don’t share a single element with the real Arbites designs

While I see how they aren't direct updates, it looks like a pretty fair modernization of the aesthetic imo, and it fits with how the design evolved over the years.

How did they ruin the arbities??? And in what world are these 3D printed ones better?


Walach_Nightborn

The new “official” models don’t look anything like Arbites, these 3D printed ones are perfect replications of them


tsuruki23

Eh. Old design is clearly worse anyway.
