    Shrine Anchorites are large metal war machines piloted by monks or nuns that act as both vehicles of war and mobile shrines. They are covered in religious icons and can carry massive weapons to bring God's wrath against enemies. Pilots remain inside until death, with their remains later mounted on the machine as relics of its history of battle against hellish forces.

    Shrine Anchorite

    Shrine Anchorites are metal behemoths some twelve to fifteen feet tall, a living altar of war
    almost completely immune to any damage, with a diesel engine belching smoke and
    trumpets echoing with prayers. The interior of the Anchorite is covered in spikes and barbed
    hooks so that the monk pilot is in a constant state of torment, rejoicing in their pain so they
    can suffer as their Lord once did. Exterior of an Anchorite is festooned with icons, holy relics
    and devotional prayer scrolls, each according to the traditions of the Pilgrim sect that the
    Anchorite serves.
    The first Anchorites were built a long time ago in the fortress-monastery of Velehrad in
    Greater Moravia. Several hundred of these battle machines were built under the guidance
    of Saint Methodius, though now the craft is lost, as the monastery was destroyed by a
    Death Commando infiltration force of demon Marchosias.
    Later innovations of the Engineering Foundry of New Antioch created the Machine Armour,
    a far smaller and more maneuverable personal protective suit based on the Anchorite
    design, but the Pilgrim Processions have neither the access to these marvels of modern
    engineering, nor do they have any desire to give up their Anchorites which act both as
    fearsome engines of war as well as shrines that form a focal point to the prayers and
    devotions of the Pilgrims.
    The pilot monk or nun, once installed, never leaves the Shrine Anchorite until the day they
    die. Once they fall in battle (or rarely of old age), their remains are reverently removed and
    body parts are preserved in reliquaries mounted upon the Anchorite. Thus each of these
    war machines is a testament to its long history of war against the forces of Hell.
    In battle each Anchorite carries a great adamantine Catherine Wheel as well as an
    immense Bonebreaker Mace to bring the wrath of God upon the sinners, heretics and
    apostates.
    In a show of piety and atonement, it is a common practise for Trench Pilgrims or Stigmatic
    Nuns volunteer to be be broken on the wheel and serve in their final battle mounted upon
    this device of execution, as a sign of both their willingness to suffer for their sins, and for the
    spiritual protection their sacrifice is said to grant to the Anchorite. The Church frowns upon
    this custom, but Pilgrims flock to their Anchorites on the Eve of any battle, hoping to be
    granted the honour to perish on the wheel.
    The pictured Shrine Anchorite is a member of the Cavalcade of the Tenth Plague, a Trench
    Pilgrim Procession who traditionally sacrifices lambs before battle, and anoint themselves in
    its blood to ward off the wrath of God.
