Electro-Priest

An Electro-priest is a fanatical warrior Tech-priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus who is able to wield powerful blasts of electricity as a weapon, which makes him a valuable member of the Mechanicus' Battle Congregations. They are fanatically devoted to the Motive Force, believing that all life and motion owes its continued existence to that ineffable divinity. These lightning-shrouded holy men trail after sacred machines in the manner of pilgrims and mendicants following the reliquaries of an Ecclesiarchal saint. In times of war, these priests will raise a great chorus of praise to the Omnissiah, their weapons buzzing with murderous energy.
