Talk:Adeptus Arbites

From Warhammer 40k

Does anyone see a resemblance between the Arbites and the Judges in Judge Dredd/2000 AD? Warhammer and GW were founded in the 70s/80s at a time when 2000AD was very popular in Britain. I see similarities in the uniforms, and the brutal efficiency of the Megacity Judges matches the style of the Arbites, which is quite suitable for "policing in the 41st Millenium". Maybe someone can find design notes or sketches demonstrating this inspiration.
