In addition, they provide an additional leadership and disciplinary core for the sector's Arbitrators. They often deal with the minor details of discipline of the Arbitrators under their charge. They also fight side by side with their subbordinates.

Arbites Psychic Apprentice....................................Special
Arbites Psychic Interrogator.....................................75 pts
Arbites Psychic Detective........................................90 pts
Arbites Combat Psyker.........................................130 pts

Arbitrator Precincts always include a special training school called Departmento Telepathica. The DT screens Arbitrators for latent and untapped psychic abiltiy, which it then trains them to use to further their duties as Arbitrators. While they are in training, the future Psykers are still required to perform their duties as an Arbitrator. Because of this, it is not uncommon for Patrol and Shock squads to include an Arbites Psychic Apprentice.

The Arbites Psykers are given special roles suited to their particular talents, including interrogators, psychic detectives and combat psykers. These different types of psykers are well trained to perform their task and are quite usefull to the Precinct. Psychic Detectives perform a similar role as standard Arbites Detectives, but use their skills and powers to increase their effectiveness. Interrogators use their ability to question suspects and intimidate thier opponents in battle. Combat psykers use their destructive grasp of the Warp to decimate the enemy, crushing the opposition swiftly at the best of times.

They are also trained in the use of standard Imperial Interrogation techniques and practices. These factors combine to produce a terrifying foe.

The two are always prepared to offer assistance in any way they can, and have become accustomed to a balance of Arbitrator and Space Marine power working together for the common good of the Imperium.

You may take Judge Solariss instead of your regularly allowed Judge.

Detective Joseff Brekk (aka "The Street Judge") ..........................................80 pts

Detective Joseff Brekk has served the Adeptus Arbites for quite some time. He became an Arbitor three years before Judge Solariss joined. This fact, coupled with his remarkable abilities and outstanding leadership qualities lead many to question why he himself is not a Judge. The answer is simple, he doesn't want to be one.

After five years of duty serving first as an Arbitrator, then a Squad Leader and Color Guard, Brekk was promoted to Detective. In that line of work he excelled, and he was quickly brought before a board to be considered for the rank of Marshall. To the suprise of all present, Brekk himself presented a list of reasons why he shouldn't be one. It soon became clear that Brekk was determined to stay in his current position and, despite several more attempts to promote him, he was finally left to his wishes. Judge Solariss himself finally made the decree that Brekk was never again to be brought forward for promotion unless it was of his own volotion. He realised that the man would be much more useful and effective if he were allowed to stay where he was happy.

Happy is just the way to describe Brekk in his current position. He enjoys nothing more than riding his large bike around the precinct, investigating crimes and participating in fire-fights. The mere mention of his name is enough to drive many hardened criminals into a fit of terror. Your army may include Detective Brekk.

Profile	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld
Brekk	4	6	6	5	5	2	6	3	9

Lawbringer Bike: Brekk has the option of riding his special Lawbringer bike into battle for +15 points. The bike is nearly identical to a Space Marine Bike, except that the twin-linked bolters have been replaced with a special Grenade Launcher. Before the battle, the Launcher may be loaded with up to two of the following: Frag Grenades (+2), Krak Grenades (+3), Choke Grenades (+3), Blind Grenades (+2) or Plasma Grenades (+4). The Grenade Launcher has the same profile as a standard Grenade Launcher, has a 90' field of fire to the front, and is fitted with a Targeter. Brekk may fire either his Lawgiver pistol or the Grenade Launcher during the shooting phase, or he may shoot with both, in which case he may not use the Targeter for the Grenade Launcher, and both shots are at a -1 To Hit in addition to any normal To Hit modifiers.

Fear: Detective Brekk has a killer reputation and therefore causes fear as described in the rulebook.
