@limburger the old Arbites were probably the first models I painted and actually thought, “bloody hell, this paint job looks good” back when they came out and I was a spotty teenager, so they have a soft spot in my heart.  I was never into Judge Dread but I loved these, despite the obvious inspiration.  The new models are great sculpts but given how much the old ones mean to me, there was a pang of disappointed given how little of the old sculpts got recycled but understand the reasons why they didn’t.  I was really excited for these as GW have made a great job of bringing all the awesome models I remember from my youth back but with a modern twist.  I still have a squad of Arbites somewhere in the stash, but my painted ones were sold in the early 00s.
