The Howling Griffons Chapter are ?staunch traditionalists amongst the Adeptus Astartes, hardened warriors who consider themselves first and foremost to be?defenders of the Imperium and an Instrument of the Emperor's purpose. Their exact origins remain lost in the shadowed wars of the 33rd Millennium, but what can be said for certain is that they have always been a highly active Chapter, and there are?low Space Marine Chapters of their age that can claim such an extensive series of campaign honours as they.

咆哮獅鷲戰(zhàn)團(tuán)是阿斯塔特修會(huì)中堅(jiān)定的傳統(tǒng)主義者，這群嚴(yán)肅的戰(zhàn)士們認(rèn)為自己首先且最重要的身份是帝國的保衛(wèi)者以及實(shí)現(xiàn)帝皇目標(biāo)的工具。他們確切的起源遺失在了第33千年陰影重重的戰(zhàn)爭中，但我們可以明確地說：他們通常是一個(gè)高度活躍的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)，很少有同齡的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)獲得了像他們這樣繁多的戰(zhàn)斗榮譽(yù)。

In this distinguished roll of war and conflict, the Howling Griffons are notable for having been at the forefront of a great many battles and campaigns whose names have echoed down the ages, such as the defeat of the Black Crusades of Abbadon the Despoiler, and the overthrow of the Necroteks of Naath whose pocket-empire rose during the Plague of Unbelief. Their worthy record has continued into recent history and has included the casting down of the mad regent of Amar and their involvement in the bloody Trl-Unity Wars where they fought as one Chapter and bested the Orks on Gunnerdark, saving an entire campaign salient from being overrun by the xenos.

在這份顯赫的戰(zhàn)爭和沖突記錄中，咆哮獅鷲戰(zhàn)團(tuán)因?yàn)闆_在某些影響深遠(yuǎn)的戰(zhàn)役的前線而名聲大噪，比如抵抗掠奪者阿巴頓的的黑色遠(yuǎn)征，在無信瘟疫時(shí)期推翻Naath的死靈術(shù)士們所建立的口袋帝國。他們值得尊敬的歷史一直持續(xù)到了近代，其中包括推翻Amar世界瘋狂攝政（的統(tǒng)治），以及參與血腥的Trl統(tǒng)一體戰(zhàn)爭——在這場戰(zhàn)爭中，整個(gè)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)全員參戰(zhàn)，并在Gunnerdark世界上擊敗了獸人，此舉拯救了整場戰(zhàn)役的突出部，避免其被異形所攻占。

The Chapter is justly proud of its ability to engage almost continuously in conflict and fight the most bitterly contested campaigns, and is notably well-provided for in both arms and wargear. In order to maintain this advantage, the Chapter's extensive forges on their home world of Mancora tirelessly work to keep the Howling Griffons supplied and make good battlefield losses as they occur. Such is the enviable capacity of their armouries that they are not only able to keep pace with the Chapter's aggressive nature, but they are also able to manufacture and maintain some of the?rarer Space Marine battle materiel, such as the Land Raider Prometheus and advanced Mark VIII Errant pattern power armour in noteworthy numbers.

該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)有能力近乎不間斷地參與沖突，并能參與戰(zhàn)事最為痛苦激烈的戰(zhàn)役，他們也有理由為此而自豪。咆哮獅鷲在武器和戰(zhàn)斗裝備上都有很好的保障。為了維持該優(yōu)勢，其家園世界Mancora上的大量鑄造廠無休無止地運(yùn)作著，以此保持咆哮獅鷲的裝備供應(yīng)，并在戰(zhàn)場損失出現(xiàn)時(shí)進(jìn)行良好補(bǔ)充。咆哮獅鷲的武器庫（生產(chǎn)）能力是如此令人羨慕，以至于他們不僅能滿足戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的好戰(zhàn)天性，而且能以顯著的數(shù)量制造出某些更為罕見的星際戰(zhàn)士軍備，比如普羅米修斯型蘭德掠奪者和先進(jìn)的MK8游俠型動(dòng)力甲。

Thanks in no small part to its glorious record, the Howling Griffons Chapter has gained the right and title to recruit its initiates from several different worlds in order to sustain a high level of Induction and attrition in its ranks, the most principal of these worlds being Mancora itself. This planet, whose overlordship lhe Chapter has long held, has been kept as an active pre-industrlallsed world divided between feudal and near-continuously warring city-slates -an arrangement which maintains a bias towards a heavily martial local culture and strong stock well-suited to the Chapter's recruiting needs.

咆哮獅鷲戰(zhàn)團(tuán)被授予了在多個(gè)不同世界征召新兵的權(quán)力，他們以此來維持程度較高的征兵數(shù)量并補(bǔ)充部隊(duì)中的損耗，這在不小的程度上是因?yàn)樵搼?zhàn)團(tuán)光榮的記錄。

No description of the?Howling Grillons Chapter however would be complete without acknowledging a dark shadow that has long fallen over the Chapter's otherwise glorious history, and this is their bloody vendetta against the being that would become the Daemon Prince Periclitor the Foresworn, and the Word Bearers Legion from which the vile entity sprang. The root cause of this enmity, which exceeds even that usually encountered between the Space Marines and their renegade kin, remains lost in the past. Scattered evidence exists that the Howling Griffons have specifically sought out the Word Bearers to do battle?with on many occasions, and the?Word Bearers likewise in their turn have?targeted the Howling Griffons for attack. One of the blackest episodes in this history of bloody enmity was the ambush of the Howling Griffons Chapter Master's battle barge at Arios Point in 220.M38. Attacking in overwhelming force by ambush as the mighty ship voyaged back to Mancora to celebrate the fifth millennium anniversary of the Howling Griffons founding, the warband of the Chaos Lord Periclitor and his allies ravaged the warship and forced the survivors down to the surface of Arios Quintus in a series of fierce battles. Finding no refuge for respite on the barren world, and beset on all sides by Word Bearers and Night Lords Chaos Space Marines, degenerate mutants and summoned daemons, the Howling Griffons had no avenue of retreat and surrender was unthinkable, despite the mocking demands of their enemies to bend their knee to the Ruinous Powers. Instead the doomed company of Howling Griffons held faith and died to a man in a desperate last stand, accounting for hundreds of the enemy before the last of the Emperor's warriors fell.

但是，倘若不提及長期籠罩在咆哮獅鷲光輝歷史上的黑暗陰影，那么對該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的描述就是不完整的——那邊是他們與惡魔王子“被棄者”佩里克利特（彼時(shí)，他還尚未升魔），以及來源于該邪惡實(shí)體的懷言者部隊(duì)之間的血腥宿怨。雙方間的敵意甚至超越了星際戰(zhàn)士與其變節(jié)親族們通常相遇時(shí)所產(chǎn)生仇怨，但其根源已經(jīng)遺失在了過去。零散的證據(jù)表明：在很多情況中，咆哮獅鷲們都會(huì)專門找到懷言者來與之交戰(zhàn)，而懷言者同樣會(huì)反過來將咆哮獅鷲作為襲擊目標(biāo)。這段血腥仇殺歷史中最黑暗的事件之一是懷言者在220.M38于Arios點(diǎn)區(qū)域?qū)ε叵{鷲戰(zhàn)團(tuán)長所乘坐戰(zhàn)列母艦的伏擊行動(dòng)。在這艘龐大的艦船返回Mancora去慶祝咆哮獅鷲建團(tuán)第五千周年紀(jì)念日的路上，混沌領(lǐng)主佩里克利特的戰(zhàn)幫與他們的盟友以壓倒性力量對其發(fā)動(dòng)了伏擊，他們蹂躪了這艘戰(zhàn)艦，并在一系列的激烈戰(zhàn)斗中迫使幸存者們降落到Arios Quintus 世界的地表。咆哮獅鷲們在這個(gè)荒涼的世界上找不到可供喘息的避難所，而且還從四面八方遭到懷言者與午夜領(lǐng)主混沌星際戰(zhàn)士們、墮落變種人和被召喚來的惡魔的圍攻。敵人嘲弄地要求他們向毀滅大能屈膝臣服，他們沒有退路，投降（的后果）也是不可想象的。但這支注定被毀滅的咆哮獅鷲連隊(duì)堅(jiān)定了信仰，在絕望的最后堅(jiān)守中戰(zhàn)死到最后一人。在最后一位帝皇的戰(zhàn)士倒下之前，咆哮獅鷲們殺死了數(shù)以百計(jì)的敵人。

The Chapter later recovered the desecrated body of its master, Oriando Furioso, impaled on the front of a Thunderhawk drifting in orbit of the planet a month later. This defeat and desecration was a bitter blow, for not only had they lost their revered master at their enemies' hands, but along with him also much of their veteran 1st?Company, their 8m Company and a venerable battle barge that had served the Howling Griffons in countless battles over a thousand years. For this grievous wound to the Chapter's honour, every Howling Griffon that takes up his place as a full battle-brother swears an oath to avenge those that fell at Arios whenever able, and the Howling Griffons have sworn to destroy Periclilor whatever the cost, even though the Chaos Warlord's many atrocities saw him elevated to the ranks of daemonhood some millennia after the Arios attack. If one day the Chapter must make war in the very depths of hell to have their revenge for their fallen brethren, they will not baulk at the task.

戰(zhàn)團(tuán)在一個(gè)月后發(fā)現(xiàn)了戰(zhàn)團(tuán)長奧里安多 弗里奧索遭到褻瀆的尸體——他被刺穿后釘在一艘漂浮于星球軌道上的雷鷹炮艇的前部。這場失敗和受辱是痛苦的一擊，因?yàn)樗涝跀橙耸种械牟粌H有可敬的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)長，還有經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的第1連中的很多老兵、第8連隊(duì)和一艘可敬的戰(zhàn)列母艦——在其服務(wù)于咆哮獅鷲的一千多年中，這艘戰(zhàn)艦參加過無數(shù)戰(zhàn)斗。戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的榮譽(yù)受到了嚴(yán)重?fù)p傷，所以（之后）每一位完全成為戰(zhàn)斗修士的咆哮獅鷲都發(fā)誓要在任何可以做到的時(shí)候?yàn)锳rios上的逝者們報(bào)仇。咆哮獅鷲們也發(fā)誓要不惜一切代價(jià)毀滅佩里克利特，即便這名混沌軍閥的諸多暴行已經(jīng)令他在Arios襲擊行動(dòng)的數(shù)千年之后升格為了惡魔。倘若有一天，該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)要前往地獄最深處發(fā)起戰(zhàn)爭來為逝去的兄弟們報(bào)仇，他們也不會(huì)退縮。

Organisation

組織結(jié)構(gòu)

The Howling Griffons are a Chapter organised along the strict lines of the Codex Astartes, seeing it not so much as holy writ but simply as the finest military treatise ever written. To them it is a work penned by the foremost of the Emperor's Primarchs, and a volume whose wisdom on matters of warcraft has never been bettered. As such the Chapter strives to remain within its tenets, keeping to its division of companies and disposition wherever possible. As avowed generalists, the Chapter has a policy of maintaining an even as possible ability in the many types of warfare the Codex identifies, from armoured assault to planetary strike operations to boarding actions, and insists that all battle-brothers master each discipline in turn as the Codex dictates. Competition within the Chapter for excellence is strong, but is never allowed to spill over into discord.

咆哮獅鷲是一個(gè)按照阿斯塔特圣典的嚴(yán)格教條組織起來的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)，在他們看來，圣典與其說是神圣的文集，不如說是有史以來最好的軍事著作。對咆哮獅鷲們而言，這是一本由帝皇麾下最重要的原體所撰寫的著作，書中關(guān)于戰(zhàn)爭的智慧從未被超越過。因此該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)努力遵循圣典的信條，在任何可能的情況下都遵守圣典的連隊(duì)分配和（兵力裝備）配置。作為公認(rèn)的全才，該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的原則是：盡可能讓自己有能力進(jìn)行圣典中確認(rèn)的諸多類型戰(zhàn)爭，從裝甲突襲到行星突擊再到跳幫行動(dòng)都包含在內(nèi)，而且他們堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為所有戰(zhàn)斗修士都要按照法典的規(guī)定輪流掌握每一種戰(zhàn)術(shù)信條。在戰(zhàn)團(tuán)內(nèi)部有著追求卓越的激烈競爭，但這種競爭絕不被允許發(fā)展成不和。

Also of note is the Chapter's tradition of powerful battle-psykers in its ranks. This is in no small part due to their primary source of initiates, as Mancora's population is known to have a higher than average incidence of psyker-births. This is a factor which has contributed to a strong Chapter Librarium down the centuries, with the Howling Griffons, own Codicers taking an active role in policing Mancora's people and weeding out those whose unregulated or weak psychic talent would leave them open to the touch of the Warp.

同樣值得注意的是：該戰(zhàn)團(tuán)有在部隊(duì)中使用強(qiáng)大戰(zhàn)斗靈能者的傳統(tǒng)。這在不小的程度上與他們新兵的主要來源相關(guān)：Mancora人口中靈能者的出生比例高于正常水平。該因素促使咆哮獅鷲戰(zhàn)團(tuán)在幾個(gè)世紀(jì)后形成了龐大的智庫團(tuán)，而且咆哮獅鷲的典記員們也積極監(jiān)管著Mancora的人民，并且清除掉那些靈能天賦不受管制或較弱的人們——此類靈能者抵御不了亞空間的觸碰。
