The Adeptus Arbites EXPLAINED By An Australian | Warhammer 40k Lore 

To be honest I didn't research the correct pronunciation of Arbites before I made this video so I'm either a god or a I sound like a dumbass. Either way, Arbites is a made up word so I can't really go wrong If you wanna see something heretical for $1 or get a slick as sticker, for the $5 Patreon tier go here : www.patreon.com/majorkill

GW - "You cannot make fan animations based on our IP" Also GW - "So lets take Judge Dredd and copy/paste since we're big fans"

Casually the first Arbites minis appeared after GW lost the license to produce Judge Dredd minis

Eclisiarch: I am the emperors light Space Marine: (shoots the Eclisiarch) I am the emperors angel Inquisitor: (shoots the Space Marine) I am the emperors will Arbites: (shoots the Inquisitor) I am the law

If Judge Dredd had a calm patrol...

If they ever make a 40K film featuring an Adeptus Arbites, they should call in Karl Urban. He’s already gone through basic training: Dredd.

I just imagine the inquisition accusing one of these “fridges” as a heretic only for him to say I don’t make the law I am the law.

Arbiters: “I am the law!” Dredd: “That’s my line... and my look. You impersonating a Judge?”

Tts dies (for now maybe) *Majorkill uses scenes and references it almost on every episode* Majorkill: Even in death i still serve

Ah that faction that harkens back to the day's when 2000AD comics and Games Workshop shared writers. I also have an ABC Warriors graphic novel with what are clearly Terminator Sparemarines.

Imagine the Adeptus Arbites meet Konrad and the Night Lords pre-Heresy. They will get along real well.

Imagine being an Astartes, the Emperor's finest, and getting taken down by the local Arbites for jaywalking.

It be cool to see team ups between the Imperial Guard and arbities more often as they are both normal humans who serve the imperium.

Respect to Majorkill for keeping the memory of TTS alive. Alfa lives **stomp stomp**

Man, such a great potential for a Mass Effect style game set in WH40k, only you play as an Arbites or maybe an Inquisitor.

Lately i watched Dredd, holy shit that was an awesome movie

I don’t know, that helmet design speaks more to me of RoboCop, not Dredd. But their Judge, Jury and Executioner vibe? Yeah, that’s 100% taken from Dredd.

"When will these lawbreakers learn...NO ONE CAN ESCAPE JUSTICE!" --Arbitrator Judge Iosephus Dred

TTS Grand Provost Marshal: *"I AM THE LAW!!!"*

I imagine a situation like this might happen, an Arbites deemed an inquisitor breaking the law While the inquisitor branded the Arbites heretic both did it because they accuse each other

the reason they look like Judge dred is that during the late 70's /early '80s GW produced a Judge dred game. Yes I'm old and only have been collecting for 32 years.

The arbites are essentially an ODST in terms of combat effectiveness, they aren’t space marine tier, but they are the next step, and can cause huge damage while spread out.

I loved so much playing an Arbites during a Dark Heresy campaign !!! Thanks for giving them some love :)

ATTENTION CITIZEN Multiple 3rd party individuals have reported one or more of your recent actions as inappropriate

With stralia' in complete lockdown this is a cry for help isn't it majorkill?

Early in the company's existence GW produced a full line of Judge Dread miniatures. When the license expired they used the old licensed designs as the basis for their own similar yet distinctively different space cops.

I laughed so hard from that Speech device clip that I missed half the episode and had to go back and rewatch it. Man I miss those guys.

The GEOM talking to Dorn was hilarious, I was eating and choked on cereal and about died laughing

Someone should do rules for running the Arbites as Guard, and name all special abilities after some sort of penal code violation.

I need a book of a Arbities prosecuting an inquisitor and the hell that could be raised with that

In fact, Games workshop release a role playing game in 1985 call Judge Dredd, with minis.

3:00 No, not simply implied, it is a truism. Due to the fact that saying that nobody has sway over the Custodes save the Emperor does not add anything new as well as being outright obvious.

Can't wait for a new Rush-Hour with an Arbitrator and an Inquisitor

GW: arguably steals from another IP Also GW: It's mine! F off!

Chaos daemon: why not betray your dying imperium and join us in chaos? Arbite: nah that sound Ghuey (Edit: I’m glad you all enjoyed :)

They are allowed to shoot Inquisitors that break the law but being allowed to kill some of the top mortal badasses of the Imperium does not mean they will succeed. More often than not, the Inquisitor will just wreck them and make them eat shit and die. And if not, well they probably weren't doing that great of a job to begin with, so no big loss.

Love these videos, it really is the little things you learn that are the best in 40k. We know so much about the factions overall yet so little in regards to daily life on hiveworlds or the people that live on it. Always liked the concepts of Necromunda or Cityfight, only seen 1 Arbites army in my entire life not on a screen and it was very much as badass looking as any Spacemarine Army. I do find it funny how Arbites have Justicar as a rank for their forces, a Justicar is a Grey Knight Sargent last I checked, why does GW keep reusing rank names for different forces? you'd think they would have a few more to use before they run out. The Emperor Protects

I love how you keep using TTS cuts in your videos!

Fun fact: GW used to produce official judge Dredd minis.

I AM THE LAW ! 🤣 missing TTS already

This is literally Judge Dredd complete with hall of fucking justice 🤣🤣

I want an arbites army. After every game if I win I just arrest my opponent.

I like how GW doesnt like people using thier ip but thier ip is made of other peoples stolen ips

hey majorkill I just wanted to say that you are my favorite RU-vidr and I hope your channel increases in popularity, Out of all the warhammer channels out there you’re the only one that can make me laugh and genuinely enjoy the video, I’ve watched the blood angels vid like 8 times just because of how entertaining it was and how your shit always puts a smile on my face, I just wanted to say thank you because if your channel didn’t exist I wouldn’t even be into warhammer in the first place because it seems like everyone is lacking a personality and don’t know how to have fun. Keep it up man 👍🏾

They're in one of the dawn of war mods and they're so cool. Later on, you unlock the inquisition but the cop dudes are way cooler

We've got hentai and we've got stickers. It's time to rise above; hentai stickers.

I've got five or six arbite models I sometimes throw into my inquisition list as conscripts lol. they rock

Fuuuuck yes dude, been waiting on a lore vid for the Arbites for ages!

Man, I would love me some Adeptus Arbites models for 40k, or maybe a majorkill themed version of them;)

Well... This has certainly sold me on the Arbites. I'd love an anthology of sci-fi detective stories starring them, come to think of it

I wanna see a game where you play as an Astartes or Inquisitor stuck on a planet (probably hunting relics or something) and recruiting the local Arbites in dealing with a chaos cult. High Impact Justice will be served. I mean if you wanna add some Sororitas it'd be even better

Can we get a Grots and the Gretchen Revolutionary Kommittee explained by an Australian episode? Love that corner of the lore

Highly recommend the Warhammer Crime books and audiobooks! IMO it’s the best offering BL gave us in a long time!

Great video dude! I didn't know there was so much more beyond the memes.

I know you meme arch cause he makes like 30minute-1hour or more long videos about 40k lore but m8 you make lore so enjoyable and funny to listen to i actually wish i could just hear you talk about lore for an hour lol

each time I see the 200k sweater I wish I got one more and more. Here's to hoping there's a burgundy 300k one

I came here so fast Adeptus Arbites told me that i exceeded speed limit, they purged me for this.

fairly certain these lot are all that's really keeping the inquisition from being exactly what they're meme'd on for

How about a video about Centurions? Might make a nice salute to TTS.

That cosplay is amazing. Apart from the face it looks almost CG! The fact it looks like that for real (at least in that lighting and setting) is crazy! Props, *I guess to the props* !! Be more Props ( *Props and props* ) if you had an electric ( *Force* ) mace, but still Kudos *EDIT*

Wunderbar. I damn love these lads.

I took a test that said I had a perfect mentality to be an arbitrator. Lol.

I AM THE LAWN!

Imagine a game were you play as arbates in a hive city

I'd love to do a arbites army.i dont know how GW could do it maybe like a deathwatch of the guard if you get what i mean.🤞😀.Cheers ta

They're basically the SWAT of the Imperium and it's great!

For anyone wanting to actually play the Arbites, Kill Team Second edition has the Exaction Squad which let's you do so Necromunda also has rules for them I believe but don't quote me on that one, I'm just a Kill Team player

GW actually made Judge Dread minis in the past. It's always been a funny back and forth between them and 2000ad.

An Arbites based FPS would be a ton of fun to play.

Do one for the current leaders / chapter master / chaos lord of each OG 20-18 first founding legions.

Great comparison there with the almost black and white Arbites vs scheming CIA. Inquisitor Eisenhorn has mentioned that Fischig is his moral compass.

So they are the equivalent of mege city's judge dredd. Cool. I hope they get a more stories with characters that can be played on the table top. I like the way you pronounce it. Arbi-tes, not the ar-bites of other YT creators.

I love how it almost sounds like you're saying diabetes each time you say Arbites. ADEPTUS DIABETES

When I read Eisenhorn and go familiar with the Adeptus Arbites... It skyrocketed to the most bad-ass thing

These guys would be great for a killteam faction

I *can't* be the only one who thought this was a judge dread lmao

Pronouncing it as arbeeties made me wonder if two of them working together would be a diarbetes

Fun fact about the arbites, the reason why they look so much like Judge Dread is because when Games Workshop was just starting out they produced models for other tabletop games like D&D. One of these was a Judge Dread tabletop game licensed by 2000 AD (company that made Judge Dread). When they wanted to make their own games they had to slowly produce models as the books came out. Unfortunately not all characters mentioned in the old Rouge Trader (later called Warhammer 40K) books could be made in time for their release. One of these models was the adeptus arbites models which were still in the design phase. In order to make up for this Games Workshop encouraged players to use the Judge Dread models in place of the arbites. It became so popular that people constantly envisioned the final arbites design as Judge Dread. GW would actually go to 2000 AD comics and ask permission to realize models that looked like theirs and surprisingly they approved and we got the modern arbites that we know and love today. Also the scraped arbites design would later became the inquisitor model

0:58 Caption: *Adept disabilities* 2:04 *Diabetes*

I would love to see an arbites faction in table top. (Or is there one and I’m just dumb?)

I think it was a given that they were taken from Judge Dredd as back in the day when Rogue Trader came out Judge Dredd and Thrudd the Barbarian (both done by the same artist) . Were the comics that were in White Dwarf Magazine.

Dredd crossing over to 40K would be sick, just like doom guy also

HAS an Arbites actually arrested or killed an Inquisitor? In the lore I mean

every time he says arbeetees I loose a bit of a my soul

"Arbi-tees" lmao. It's ar-bee-tes (like tesla), like an arbitrator. It's not a made up word either. Couldn't pay attention to what you were saying because you were making me laugh with the pronunciation and Australian accent. A++

The Imperium: "We need zealots for the Inquisition, the Assassinorum, the Commissars, and the Arbites. We need ORPHANS!".

Good point about how GW gaurds their totally unique IP (Judge Dread). They also be protecting that Tyranid IP too...

MajorKill : adeptus arbites Subtitles : adept dissabilities

In the Cain books he always makes fun of the Arbites, because he confuses them with normal police and PDF sometimes

I just like to imagine the Judge Dredd universe is a core world somewhere

5:55 Heretic n°1: ... and then I've kill the mecha-dogo ! Heretic n°2: You...What ??

Imagine you get your kneecaps broken cause your great great uncle coughed during emperor prayer time

"There's a lot of crime!" No, there are a lot of things the Imperium *THINKS* are crimes. There's a difference.

Shira calpurnia from the omnibus enforcer. A book series all about these hard as fuck peeps. Highly recommend.

The homies in the house start blastin' 🤣

Not gonna lie when I first saw this I thought this was some judge Dread lore.

Total judge dredd vibe! “I AM THE LAW!!”

Ah the super space cop executioners

the funniest things in these videos are not the jokes but the pronunciation lol.

Arbites : I am the law!! Judge dredd : Bitch please
