Less time commuting and more time walking through my neighborhood the past two weeks has given me time to brainstorm more modeling ideas and even follow up with a conversion or two to see how things might work. Below is a picture of Arbitrator Judge Press built to serve as the Patriarch of a counts as Genestealer Cult force. Counts as forces are always fun to brainstorm and in this case the intimate local knowledge and the ambush/skirmish nature of the GSC seemed like it would work well for representing how the Detectives and Specialized operatives of a large enough Arbites precinct might function on the battlefield if it had to transition from everyday life to a war footing.

| Judge Press and one of his psychic familiars. I knew the GSC Patriarch was perched on a pipe so I built up the base for him to stand on. |
 |
| Then I found the Patriarch model from the Deathwatch Overkill boxed set for a quick size comparison. I'd forgotten how big the Patriarch model is on it's own. |
 |
| So I went back and added some more height to the Judge's base. Much better. The downside to counts as modeling is that you can't always match the presence of the original model. |
