[[Image:SisterRepentia1.jpg|thumb|right|205px|A Sisters Sister Repentia]]'''Sisters Repentia''' are fanatical self-mutilating warriors of the [[Sisters of Battle]]. Having failed or fallen short of the Sororitas' strict religious codes in the past, Repentia Sisters seek to earn the [[Emperor]]'s grace once more by self-flagellation and find a glorious death in the heat of battle. Though ultimately outcasts, they are none the less revered by their fellow Sisters, who see them as pilgrims seeking the absolution of death and ultimate sacrifice in the name of the Emperor.{{Fn|1}}
They frequently wield the ceremonial [[Eviscerator]] [[Chainsword]] as well as the [[Neural Whip]] and are led into battle by brutal overseers known as '''Repentia Mistresses'''.{{Fn|1}}
==Oath of the Penitent==
An Adeptus Sororitas may choose to join the Repentia as an act of penance. The ritual of casting aside her status as Battle Sister is undertaken with her squad members in attendance and in the presence of a superior officer. The ritual is as follows{{Fn|2}}:
;Penitent: ''I am far from absolution. Lost to any exculpation. I offer myself to repentance. Before the Emperor I have sinned. Beyond forgiveness. Beyond forbearance. Beyond mercy.''
