The Horus Heresy spawned many dark legends and tales of ill-omen which some among the Legions to survive that cataclysmic conflict would like to forget. The Battle for Signus Prime numbers foremost amongst these, and the Blood Angels rarely speak of?what transpired, of the events that would leave such a dark stain on both their honour and souls for centuries to come. Some would blame the events on the influence of dark powers, or the manipulation of the Word Bearers, and yet the tales that are known speak of?the dark past of the Legion which Sanguinius had long sought to bury.

荷魯斯叛亂引出了許多黑暗的傳說與關(guān)于惡兆的故事，而那些挺過這場災(zāi)難性沖突的軍團很愿意忘記其中的某些。西格納斯主星之戰(zhàn)是其中最為重要的，圣血天使們也幾乎不會透露（當(dāng)時）發(fā)生了什么，因為當(dāng)時發(fā)生的事情將會在之后的數(shù)個世紀(jì)中在他們的榮譽和靈魂上留下一個極其黑暗的污點。有些人聲稱要為這些事件要歸咎于黑暗力量的影響或懷言者軍團的暗中操作。已知這個故事講述了圣吉列斯試圖掩埋的第九軍團的黑暗過去。

What is certain is that, with the fall of the Angel on Signus Prime, almost every last Blood Angel within a thousand metres lost all sense and reason. There are verified reports of?warriors abandoning their positions and heavy weapons to engage in close quarters combat with the nearest foe, disregarding both discipline and prearranged strategies. There are many tales of lone Blood Angels warriors plunging into mobs of?grasping horrors, their bolters reduced to mere clubs in frenzied melee, and dying alone in a futile effort to avenge the fall of their lord. Some entire units gave into the despair that swept through the Blood Angels host and threw themselves at the enemy, giving little heed to the peril they placed supporting units in as they abandoned the ordered lines of the initial attack.

可以確定的是，當(dāng)大天使在西格納斯主星隕落時，方圓一千米之內(nèi)幾乎所有幸存的圣血天使都失去了所有的感覺和理智。存在被證實的記錄證明第九軍團的戰(zhàn)士們拋棄了他們的戰(zhàn)術(shù)姿態(tài)和重武器，與距離自己最近的敵人進行近戰(zhàn)，無視了紀(jì)律和預(yù)定的戰(zhàn)略。存在許多關(guān)于孤獨的圣血天使戰(zhàn)士們沖入成群的貪婪可怖的敵人中的故事，他們在瘋狂的混戰(zhàn)中僅僅將爆彈槍當(dāng)作棍棒使用，他們努力為隕落的主父復(fù)仇，卻終究在徒勞無功中孤獨死去。某些完整的單位則是全部屈服于席卷圣血天使戰(zhàn)群的絕望中，他們放棄了開始進攻時的有序路線，他們幾乎沒有注意到自己讓支援單位身處險境。

In the more extreme cases, there are some tales of Blood Angels attacking each other or even allies and unarmed civilian personnel. There is some evidence that links the 5'th and 11'th Companies, under Amit and Maulgrehn, with the disappearance of the Space Wolves contingent attached to the army. The?Redknife and his men are listed on no casualty report from the battle, and their last known position was between the 11'th and 5`th Companies. Had they fallen in honest combat then the Blood Angels would speak of their valour, and yet there are no tales told of the Space Wolves who marched forth with Sanguinius that day.?

在更為極端的情況中，圣血天使們互相攻擊，甚至殺戮了友軍和沒有武裝的平民。有證據(jù)顯示阿密特的第五連隊和馬爾格雷與被配屬到第九軍團的太空野狼部隊分隊的失蹤之間存在聯(lián)系。狼主紅刃和他的部下并未被列在戰(zhàn)斗傷亡報告中，他們最后的已知位置是處于第五連隊和第十一連隊之間。倘若他們是光榮戰(zhàn)死的，圣血天使們將會歌頌他們的價值，然而講述那些陪同圣吉列斯前往西格納斯的太空野狼們的故事并不存在。

Those closest to the Primarch when he fell, and the darkness unleashed by the Daemon general in the wake of that tragedy, suffered the worst of?the madness. Few among those would survive the fighting that day, having given themselves fully to the suicidal fury, yet the toll they reaped upon the foe in exchange for their lives was great indeed. Those at a further distance seemed to have suffered only to a lesser degree, and many more among those at the fringes of the battlefield were able to retain their sanity and fight as warriors rather than mindless killers. However, even those who managed to resist the dark call that was unleashed upon the battlefields of?Signus were still marked by its stain and would be haunted by it until the final days of?the Horus Heresy and beyond.

那些在原體隕落時距離父親最近的圣血天使們，也受惡魔將領(lǐng)在這次背叛后釋放的黑暗影響最深，他們遭受到了最為嚴(yán)重的瘋狂的折磨。極少數(shù)從那天的戰(zhàn)斗中幸存下來的戰(zhàn)士們也完全屈服于自殺性的狂怒，不過，他們的確也靠著自我犧牲重創(chuàng)了敵人。那些距離較遠(yuǎn)的戰(zhàn)士們似乎只受了輕度影響，大多數(shù)位于戰(zhàn)場邊緣的圣血天使們都能保持理智，作為一名戰(zhàn)士而非一名瘋狂的殺手與敵人交戰(zhàn)。然而，即便是那些成功抵制了惡魔在西格納斯戰(zhàn)場上釋放的黑暗召喚的軍團戰(zhàn)士們，他們也會被這次污濁的戰(zhàn)爭打上標(biāo)記（機仆：怎么一股子劍風(fēng)傳奇的感覺…懂了，BA都是烙印戰(zhàn)士?。?，這份影響將會困擾這他們，直到荷魯斯身死，甚至大叛亂已然結(jié)束后的日子中。
