	Flagellants are something unique for the empire ([[Bretonnia]] have something similar called "battle pellegrins", but we will see later the key differences), and the lore behind them is both easy and credible. Life in the Empire is difficult if not shitty. While your position in society surely determines your lifestyle, there aren't assurances that all you have will not be destroyed by one of the many, many enemies of the Empire. Everything that you have will be destroyed or stolen, your family and friends will be [[Grimdark\|killed horribly, taken prisoners or sacrificed to horrid gods who will torture their souls for all eternity]].

	It must be noted, however, that while many flagellants are obvious followers of Sigmar, some band will dedicate themselves to another god of the pantheon, such as [[Morr]], [[Ulric]], Shallya or other. (Someone can actually argue the sense of venerating the goddess of health with flails and self-torture, but flagellants don't give a fuck about [[Heresy\|logic and common sense]].)

	~~Main article (Arco-~~flagellant)		Leave it to the [[Imperium]] to somehow bastardize the concept of a flagellant while kicking things up a notch. You thought the Age of Sigmar guys were brutal meet the [[Arco-flagellant]]s. On the rare occasions repentant heretics are given one more chance to serve the Emperor by the [[Ecclesiarchy]], said chance might consist of getting physically mutilated through cybernetics and mentally conditioned to go nucking futs at a snap of the priest's fingers. Alas, the only flesh being whipped is that of the enemy, and any self-damage the arco-flagellant suffers is most likely due to their own bodies falling apart, kept together only through combat stimms and their bloody-minded zeal. Read up on their page for more details.

Also, they will not escape during battleshock, because you roll a dice for every model who had "run", and for each 4+ the closer enemy unit will get a mortal wound. Why? Because they hadn't run, [[Awesome\|BUT THROW THEMSELVES IN ONE LAST, DESPERATE ATTACK WITH THE HOPE OF KILLING ANOTHER HERETICS WITH THEIR DEATH!]]

	While flagellants were always a thing before, the contemporary idea of a flagellant comes from [[High Middle Ages\|The Black Death]], where a number of Christian people in Europe got it into their heads that the fact that everyone dying of Plague (or any epidemic at the time really) was a sign of God's wrath against man's sinfulness, and decided that self punishment would convince the Almighty to lay it off with the massive death and suffering of the innocent. They'd wander from town to town in a conga line chanting and whipping each other with cat-o'-nine-tails, often picking up fellows as they went. Unfortunately, [[Not As Planned\|going from town to town in close proximity to others while whipping each other's backs into hamburger isn't exactly effective social distancing and they ended up spreading the plague more]]. As they continued their activities, the Catholic Church's patience wore thin (partly because they ~~figured out~~ they ~~were effectively plague carriers~~, but mainly because their movement was growing out of control to the point they started accusing anyone who didn't join in as ~~an agent~~ of the Devil), and by the 14th Century they put their foot down, declaring the Flagellants [[Heresy\|heretics]] and [[Blam\|dealing with them accordingly]]. Flagellation still persists in some Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Spain, along with any former colonies of theirs, but even then its exclusively done during Lent.
