An '''Arco-flagellant''' is a [[heretic]] deemed worthy of redemption by the [[Ecclesiarchy]], sentenced to arco-flagellation, and turned into living weapons.

'''Arco-flagellation''' is a method of penitence administered by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] but appointed by the Ecclesiarchy. It is used to punish any heresy not terrible enough to warrant immediate execution. The point of such extravagant punishments is to physically expunge the sin from a heretic's soul so that they may strengthen the Emperor when they die.{{cite this}}
