So I'm currently putting all my eggs into the Adepts Titanicus basket and haven't been sold on Kill Team or Necromunda (yet!).

One thing that would be a sure way to get me started on either game would be to bring back the Arbites.

Since I haven't really been following the gossip on either of the above games I don't have a clue if there are any plans to bring them back. Knowing GW, no one would likely know til pre-orders started on them anyway.

The one nice thing about Arbites is they are fairly easy to convert, especially with "build your own miniature" companies like Anvil Industry.

Thanks for any info…or gossip.

I'm on a Necromunda Face Book page where there has been speculation about new Gangs. No-one really knows whats happening until GW announces a new release.
I bought the starter set at Xmas time. I've only just read the rule book and realise what a money trap this is. I think I will have to buy two Gang War books to be able to upgrade my starter Gangs. I had hoped to be able to use my old Orlock figures so bought the cards. I then need to buy a Gang War book and probably Dice for them as well.
I really like the concept but its a lot of money just for 10 figures a Gang.

Yes, $/€ is the unavoidable subject on any GW topic. I was actually hoping to substitute an affordable 2-army Kill Team setup as a replacement for my spiraling out of control 30k Night Lords army. I may still do it too. My "Lords" army could probably feed 5-6 Kill Teams if I sold it as is.

But even then, I'm still a terrain Bleeped text when it comes to skirmish games….soo.

Haven't heard anything about Arbites in '19 from GW, though new plastic Sisters are confirmed.

Purely unsubstantiated speculation on my part, but GW could always trickle in the Arbites slowly like they did with Deathwatch space marines and Genestealer Cultists via a self-contained boxed game before expanding the range if there's enough interest. I won't hold my breath though.

If you can't wait on what GW might or might not do, you can always check out Mad Robot's "space police." They're very close to the Arbites style and aesthetic, which of course was in turn influenced by Judge Dredd.

I'd love to see some redemptionists and arbites instead of the ugly cawdor hobos

I wasn't into the Redemptionists in the old days strictly based on visual appeal, but I confess, they would be fun against Chaos and GS Cultists.
