Crunch Mutants Underfoot With New Grimdark Artel W Characters
January 19, 2018 by brennon
A few new models have been previewed for the folks behind Artel W Miniatures. They have a grimdark theme to them, as you might imagine, and I was bowled over by this fellow in particular...
Now, the Adeptus Arbites from Warhammer 40,000 have always been cool, but this fellow makes them look all the more bad ass. You could see him stomping through the streets of a Hive City, shotgun at the ready to blow the head off some miscreants who get in his way.
And, if the perp is on the run then he could always send this Mech Hound after them instead.
I think it makes sense that the mutt in question should be a bit of a bulldog. It would be awesome to see them painted up in some rusty metals, clanking along beside the Arbites with mechanical growls issuing from their whirring interiors.
Daemon Slaying Katerina
Beyond the footsloggers here there's also this new version of Katerina. I imagine, as an Inquisitor or powerful figure within the military maybe she brings these Arbites along with her.
The model looks awesome, sword in hand with it plunged through the skull of some mighty daemon. A very cool project that, once again, it would be awesome to see painted.
What do you think of Katerina?

Nice to see another take on the cyberdog usually it’s dobermans
I tried to greenstuff a cyberdog for my arbites a good decade ago… ended up being a cyberlizard 4 times bigger than a man. Theyve done a better job here XD
brilliant looking figures.
Very nice.
If you’re going to put your foot on something, it should definitely be that sort of beastie.
I hope they scale well against Necromunda – the Beastman Bounty hunter is almost Primaris sized.
I hope GW do ‘bounty hunter’ style rules for lone judges to ‘assist’ other gangs.
I have the Wild West Exodus hound – he is big in 40k scale. I wonder how they would look together scale-wise?
I’ve an incomplete project to kitbash some Arbites out of Marine Scouts. I got some dogs from Anvil Industry: they’re good (but very like actual dogs rather than robodogs). These are really cartoony, so I like them a lot better.
The Adeptus Arbites and the Mech Hound would work well in the Judge Dredd universe.

Love that Judge.
