Arbites Enforcer

"Fetch boy!"

Arbites Enforcers are the closest thing the Adeptus Arbites have to a 'basic' ground troop. Despite being part of the Arbites, they are recruited by the Inquisition to act as an independent agent when they are investigating a member of policing or governing organizations, such as other members of the Adeptus Arbites or even a Planetary Commander.

Overview

Known as Enforcers of the Inquisition, or Wards or Protectors, they are some of the most faithful people in the Imperium. The Wards are brought in to enforce an Inquisitor's rulings, replacing local security forces or the Arbites, providing kill-teams and execution squads, and lending their firepower to purges and witch hunts.

Since Enforcers are de jure, part of the Arbites, they are often armoured in a similar way to their colleagues, carapace and flak armour. Officers often adorn their armour with extra plates for both protective and ornamental purposes. They mostly carry Combat Shotguns armed with Executioner Shells or a Solo Boltgun, and Shock Mauls. Some have laser sights and others Cyber-Mastiffs for getting to hard-to-reach places. They also sometimes carry weapons to capture enemies rather than kill them, such as electro-net launchers and pulse-charged bolas. But most of the time, they will just equip themselves with the convenient Web Pistol, Webber or Heavy Webber.

And no, they have nothing to do with the Enforcer Security Force.
