IMHO it may be the back mounted exhaust making it look too.... not 40k? or too much like tau or some other generic science fiction setting robot.

**Lockark**

The dog just needs more riviets and hard edges tbh to feel "40k". Armour plates should come off into hard edges like armour. Everything from knights to space marines follow that idea.

But tbh instead of a robot dog the more 40k thing would be a dog turned into a servitor or a human turned into a dog shaped servitor.

**Galas**

That female inquisitor is ace! Props for the different torso options!
Personally, I like the dog, but it looks like something out of Jimmy Neutron!

**MattW**

I think that 2 things would help the dog:

1. Adjust the head so that either the top half is much bigger, or the lower jaw is smaller. Part of the problem for me is that the upper part of the skull looks far too small for the rest of it.

2. Get rid of the pointless tail stub.

I'd honestly prefer a sleeker design for the dog- more like a rottweiler than a bulldog. Somewhere between the (IMO too sleek) old citadel cyber-mastiff, and the one that you guys have.

**schoon**

In agree that Katerina not gripping the sword hilt seems odd, and I prefer the first version you posted.

**Padre**

That 54mm Commissar will be a "must buy" for me...

**Ignatius-Grulgor**

I love the current version of the dog, if a slender one would be popular though then why not both?

**FlubDugger**

I like the inquisitor, and her bird friend. Any plans to sell the bird separately? And beyond the dog will there be any more grimdark pets? I need some animal companions!

**Ssgt Carl**

I love the cyber hound. I prefer the first version. As long as it stays a bull dog style I will get several

**Frozen Ocean**

Love the alternate chestpiece for the Inquisitor!

**Artel_W**

@ Artel_W... Guys, I just tried to "track my order" on your webpage - it looks like the links might be broken at the moment - instead of providing a tracking function, it just keeps looping back to the "sign-in" screen.

Yes, there is trouble with sign in procedure now, techinacal support working on it. You can PM me here or at Facebook with order`s details and I`ll give you all the info.

Until Arbites get rules, I see 5 space marine scouts with bolters and a heavy bolter.

**inqscott**

Can not wait will buy 2 packs of those

**Mr_Rose**

One thing about your Enforcers; I’m confused as to how their cuffs are supposed to work? It looks like you have the chain connected to the hoop rather than the locking block?

**FrothingMuppet**

They are gorgeous man - really beautiful work. How do you plan on selling them? As pictured here or with swappable arms/weapons so you can do all shotguns or all bolters?

**Binabik15**

The former dog is much better. The head rocks. The bulk is cool, too. It might need a few more "Imperial" surface detailing as well as some aquillas. And rectangular spikes on the paws.

**Ssgt Carl**

Just ordered your inquisitor warband set. Very excited for the law enforcement team. Still hoping you stick with the bull dog style cyber hound

**schoon**

Those are dead sexy!

**kendoka**

Really thrilled about the Adeptus Arbites team!
Will probably order 4-5 sets.

The only thing I would like to change on the sculpts is having a few of them not having the finger on the trigger...
I.e. something like this:

Makes them look more professional (one of the Astra Militarum Scions are sculpted like that and it looks ace).

Got my two Chasteners yesterday - and both sculpt and size are really good.

Nitpicking:
The helmeted head was really small - so I replaced it with a original AA helmet (which I had drilled out and put another face into).
Arms are a bit slim considering the bulky armour they are supposed to be clad in.
Also, both the shotgun and the right shoulderpad are a bit smallish. On the original AA the right shoulder pad is covering another, smaller pad (same size as the one on the left shoulder).

That will definitely be an issue with this new squad as well. The heads look pretty small in these big pictures already, and being a 30mm tall miniature will accentuate the effect considerable.

That’s a good idea

Weapon Safety Rule #3: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

Decided to take a plunge and take advantage of the free shipping while I was at it.
