Nah, just start giving his arms and legs durabilities that he has to roll
everyday "Sorry Bob, your left leg and right eye are out today. What's
everyone else do?"

I personally would never allow an arcane to be a cyborg. Sure from a
game-balance point of view, but also from a realistic point of view.
Blessed/shaman - what holyman is going to WANT to come back harrowed?
Doomsayers/Junkers/templars - didn't exist before the war (did junkers?)
hucksters/mad scientists/sykers - too powerful and unpredictable. They
spent so much money on AI's and what not to keep these guys under control,
they're not going to bring someone back with magical powers that blow
holes in tanks.
