The Adeptus Astartes were created as the Emperor's ultimate fighting force. Implanted with the gene-seed of the Primarchs, the Space Marines stand seven feet tall, with thickened bones, two hearts, hyper-dense muscles and all manner of special organs that allow them to survive and fight in the most hostile conditions. They feel little pain and heal wounds at a remarkable rate. Their will is hardened by constant training and fighting, and they battle with dedication and zeal, brooking no hesitation, mercy or cowardice. All of these things combine with the best weaponry and armour in the galaxy to make the Space Marines the most fearsome warriors of the Imperium.?

阿斯塔特修會(huì)是帝皇創(chuàng)造出的終極戰(zhàn)斗力量。植入了基因原體的基因種子的星際戰(zhàn)士們站立時(shí)身高達(dá)七英尺，擁有強(qiáng)化加粗過(guò)的骨骼，兩顆心臟，超高密度的肌肉，以及各種允許他們?cè)谧類毫拥沫h(huán)境中生存和戰(zhàn)斗的特殊器官。持續(xù)的訓(xùn)練和戰(zhàn)斗磨練了星際戰(zhàn)士的意志，他們帶著獻(xiàn)身精神與狂熱戰(zhàn)斗，而不會(huì)受到仁慈、猶豫和怯懦的阻礙。所有的這一切與銀河中最為卓越的武器和動(dòng)力甲相結(jié)合，令星際戰(zhàn)士成為了人類帝國(guó)中最為可怖的戰(zhàn)士。

The Chaos Space Marines have all of these strengths and skills, to which are added the power of Chaos and a brutal devotion to the Dark Gods. Ever since the Horus Heresy, Space Marines have been tempted by the path of Chaos, whether for selfish reasons or great ideals. Sundered from the Imperium, having turned their backs on the Emperor, these warriors know that there can be no peace for them, neither forgiveness nor absolution. They are wholly committed to the path they now tread, for good or ill, and they can expect no quarter from former battle-brothers.?

混沌星際戰(zhàn)士們擁有上述所有的技藝和長(zhǎng)處，而且他們還被附加了混沌之力和對(duì)于黑暗諸神的野蠻敬拜之心。自從荷魯斯叛亂開(kāi)始，星際戰(zhàn)士們就受到混沌道途的誘惑，無(wú)論是出于自私的理由還是偉大的意圖。這些戰(zhàn)士們背叛帝皇，從帝國(guó)中分裂出來(lái)，他們明白自己會(huì)永無(wú)寧日，帝國(guó)不會(huì)給予他們寬恕，更不會(huì)赦免他們。無(wú)論是好是壞，他們都全身心地投入到了自己現(xiàn)在所踏足的道路上，毫不期待能從之前的戰(zhàn)斗兄弟處獲得任何寬仁。

The armament of the Chaos Space Marines differs little from that of their loyalist counterparts, for the weapons of the Adeptus Astartes are built to last. Boltguns, in various marks dating back ten thousand years, are their primary weapon, though squads that glorify close assaults and personal combat often favour bolt pistols and ritual knives, chainswords or axes. There is little uniformity between squads; much of the organisation and structure of the force's former Legion or Chapter falls by the wayside as they turn to the path of Chaos. In place of appointed sergeants, the Chaos Space Marines follow the strongest, boldest and most merciless of their brothers. These blood-soaked soldiers seek to become the favoured of the gods and eventually become mighty champions themselves. Their wargear varies dramatically and may include weapons taken as trophies from slain foes as well as arcane equipment carefully maintained since the Horus Heresy. It is the champions of these units that strive the hardest to gain recognition amongst the ranks of the Chaos Space Marines, spilling the blood of mighty foes in single combat in order to draw the gaze of the gods.?

混沌星際戰(zhàn)士們的裝備與忠誠(chéng)星際戰(zhàn)士們的別無(wú)二致，能夠追溯到過(guò)去一萬(wàn)年的帶有各種記號(hào)的爆彈槍是他們的主要武器，不過(guò)那些崇尚近距離攻擊和個(gè)人戰(zhàn)斗的小隊(duì)往往偏愛(ài)爆彈手槍和儀式匕首、鏈鋸劍或鏈鋸斧。混沌星際戰(zhàn)士小隊(duì)之間幾乎沒(méi)有一致性；當(dāng)他們轉(zhuǎn)向混沌道路時(shí)，這些部隊(duì)所屬的前軍團(tuán)或戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的組織結(jié)構(gòu)都被廢棄了?；煦缧请H戰(zhàn)士們會(huì)追隨他們最強(qiáng)大、最無(wú)情也最膽大妄為的兄弟們——這些人取代了被指派的軍士們。這些滿身血腥的戰(zhàn)士們會(huì)試圖獲取混沌諸神的偏愛(ài)，并最終使自己成為強(qiáng)大的混沌勇士。他們的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)裝備彼此差異很大，使用的武器可能包括從殺死的敵人手中奪取的戰(zhàn)利品，以及從荷魯斯叛亂時(shí)期就仔細(xì)保管著的玄奧裝備。這些部隊(duì)中的混沌勇士們會(huì)盡最大努力在混沌星際戰(zhàn)士們之間獲取認(rèn)可，他們會(huì)在單人的戰(zhàn)斗中令最強(qiáng)大的敵人血灑當(dāng)場(chǎng)，以吸引混沌諸神的注視。

HAVOCS

浩劫小隊(duì)

Some Chaos Space Marine squads carry a high proportion of heavy weapons, the better to annihilate the hated foe. Known as Havocs, these squads provide devastating anti-infantry and anti-armour firepower, dominating large swathes of the battlefield with volley after punishing volley.?

一些混沌星際戰(zhàn)士小隊(duì)會(huì)攜帶大量重型武器以更好地殲滅可憎的敵人。這些小隊(duì)被稱為浩劫小隊(duì)，他們能提供毀滅性反步兵和反裝甲火力，用接連不斷的重武器齊射統(tǒng)治大片的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。

Such is the blood-pounding thrill of pouring heavy fire into the enemy ranks that many Havocs become obsessed by the power their weapons afford them. They see themselves as gods of the battlefield, blasting the insect vermin of the enemy into oblivion with each twitch of the finger. Over time, a Havoc squad that lingers within the warp may find their weapons becoming physically part of them, extensions of their own body that can never be laid down or relinquished. Casings blend with flesh, blood plasma becomes highly volatile, and ammunition hoppers become hungry second mouths that snap and growl for more bullets. Eventually, Chaos Space Marine and weapon become one and the same. This is the way of Chaos - where the warp bleeds into realspace, it is not nature that defines form but deadly compulsion -the ugliness in a Havoc's soul is made flesh for all to see.?

向敵人的隊(duì)伍傾瀉重型火力所帶來(lái)的刺激是如此令人熱血沸騰，以至于許多浩劫武士都癡迷于他們的武器所提供的力量。他們視自己為戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)之神，自己的手指每扣動(dòng)一下扳機(jī)，就能將蟲(chóng)豸般的敵人炸得無(wú)影無(wú)蹤。隨著時(shí)間流逝，一支徘徊在亞空間中的浩劫小隊(duì)可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的武器變成了自己身體的一部分——武器成為了他們軀體的延伸，再也無(wú)法被拋下或放棄。武器外殼和肉體融合在一起，鮮血電漿變得高度不穩(wěn)定，彈藥輸送口變成饑餓的第二張巨口，反復(fù)撕咬張合，咆哮著索取更多的彈藥。最終，混沌星際戰(zhàn)士會(huì)與自己的武器合而為一。這就是混沌之道——在亞空間與現(xiàn)實(shí)宇宙交匯的地方，定義人體形態(tài)的不是自然規(guī)律，而是致命的強(qiáng)烈欲望——浩劫武士們血肉呈現(xiàn)了他們靈魂中的丑陋特征。

CHOSEN

混沌神選

The most experienced and dedicated Chaos Space Marines are known as Chosen. Even at a glance, it is obvious that they are favoured amongst the bitter brotherhood of Chaos, for their baroque armour is embellished with forbidden runes and their grimacing helmets give them the aspect of raging Daemons. Equipped with the finest wargear the warband can provide, the Chosen are even more hard-bitten and callous than other Chaos Space Marines, and think nothing of sacrificing the lives of their comrades to increase their own standing with the gods.?

經(jīng)驗(yàn)最豐富且最愿意向諸神奉獻(xiàn)自身的混沌星際戰(zhàn)士們被稱為神選。即便是一眼瞥去，也能很明顯地看出他們是苦澀的混沌兄弟會(huì)中受偏愛(ài)的群體：他們復(fù)雜華麗的動(dòng)力甲上裝飾著禁忌的符文，他們猙獰的頭盔給了他們憤怒惡魔般的外表。神選們裝備了戰(zhàn)幫所能提供的最精良武器，他們比其他混沌星際戰(zhàn)士更為頑強(qiáng)和冷酷，對(duì)于犧牲自己同袍性命來(lái)提升自己在諸神面前地位的行徑不以為意。

Squads of Chosen have many centuries of combat experience to draw upon and are typically found in the vanguard of any attack, fighting from the front where they can earn the most glory and take the greatest spoils. Confident in the extreme, and contemptuous even of those that march to war alongside them, the Chosen bow only to the gods themselves and to the Chaos champions who command their allegiance.?

神選小隊(duì)有著數(shù)個(gè)世紀(jì)可供借鑒的戰(zhàn)斗經(jīng)驗(yàn)，人們會(huì)在所有進(jìn)攻的先鋒部隊(duì)中發(fā)現(xiàn)這些武士，他們?cè)谀軌驃Z取最多榮譽(yù)、獲取最珍貴戰(zhàn)利品的前線戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上作戰(zhàn)。神選武士們極端自負(fù)，甚至對(duì)那些與自己并肩作戰(zhàn)的人們也不屑一顧，他們只屈從于混沌諸神本尊，以及他們所效忠的混沌勇士。

BIKERS

混沌機(jī)車武士

Well armed and highly mobile, Biker squads are mounted on bladed bikes that are possessed of a sinister, mechanical sentience. Even amongst the Chaos Space Marines, their Biker squads have a reputation for cruelty. They are tireless in pursuit of an enemy and will follow a foe night and day to kill or capture them - or in the hope that they will be led to fresh victims. Some have even melded physically with their metal steeds, balefire jetting from their exhausts and oil flowing in their veins.?

混沌機(jī)車小隊(duì)裝備精良，而且具備高機(jī)動(dòng)性。機(jī)車武士們騎乘著裝有利刃的機(jī)車，這些機(jī)車帶著一種邪惡的機(jī)械感。哪怕在混沌星際戰(zhàn)士中間，機(jī)車小隊(duì)也擁有著殘忍的名聲。他們不知疲倦地追蹤著敵人，不分晝夜地跟在敵人身后來(lái)殺死或俘虜對(duì)方——或者希望自己的獵物把他們帶往新的受害者處。有些機(jī)車武士的軀體甚至都與他們的金屬戰(zhàn)馬融為一體，熊熊烈火從排氣口噴射而出，燃油在他們的血管中流淌。

Bikers are excellent for reconnaissance and launching deadly raids behind enemy lines. Like those of their loyalist counterparts, Chaos bikes are rugged and well-suited to dense terrain, though they have often been twisted by Chaos into something far more unsettling than a simple machine. They are fitted with built-in boltguns that can be fired by the rider without him needing to relinquish control of his steed, and they are often festooned with blades and spurs that dismember opponents as the rider crashes past.?

機(jī)車武士們精于偵查任務(wù)和從敵人陣線后方發(fā)動(dòng)致命掠襲。就像忠誠(chéng)星際戰(zhàn)士們的同類裝備那樣，混沌機(jī)車堅(jiān)固耐用，非常適合致密的地形，不過(guò)它們經(jīng)常被混沌扭曲成更為令人不安的事物，而不再僅僅是簡(jiǎn)單的機(jī)器。車上安裝有內(nèi)置的爆彈槍，騎手無(wú)需放棄對(duì)機(jī)車的控制就可以開(kāi)火，而且車上通常還裝飾著利刃和尖刺，當(dāng)騎手沖過(guò)時(shí)，這些兇器會(huì)肢解對(duì)面的敵人。
