Each Brotherhood of the White Scars is a highly mobile task force unto itself ，endowed with the means to transport its complement of Legiones Astartes warriors to the battlefield with a speed that was the hallmark of their Legion. As such, the White Scars were known to favour the use of?aerial and contragravity vehicles of all kinds, with a noted preference for smaller craft due to the lowering maintenance requirements and greater manoeuvrability of?such vehicles. Their usage of massed squadrons of?Scimitar, Shamshir and Falcata class jetbikes is well known and documented, but the various Brotherhoods also made use of large numbers of Land Speeders, Fire Raptor gunships and even armoured vehicles of certain patterns.

每個(gè)白色傷疤兄弟會(huì)都是一支高度機(jī)動(dòng)的特遣隊(duì)，他們被賦予了以第五軍團(tuán)標(biāo)志性的速度將阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)戰(zhàn)士補(bǔ)員們運(yùn)送到戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上的方式。嚴(yán)格來(lái)講，白疤軍團(tuán)因使用各種類型的空中和反重力載具而著稱，而且對(duì)于小型載具有著著名的偏好——由于其降低的維護(hù)要求和更好的機(jī)動(dòng)性。他們對(duì)于大量短彎刀型、長(zhǎng)刀型和短劍型噴射機(jī)車中隊(duì)的使用是頗為著名的，而且得到了記錄，但是不同的兄弟會(huì)也會(huì)使用大量的蘭德速攻艇、火焰猛禽炮艇、甚至還有特定型號(hào)的裝甲載具。

Indeed, some Brotherhoods were even known to specialise in the use of?mobile artillery, experts at the rapid displacement of batteries after the completion of a fire mission, and at providing close range support bombardments.

事實(shí)上，我們甚至知道某些兄弟會(huì)專攻使用移動(dòng)火炮，他們擅長(zhǎng)于在開(kāi)火任務(wù)完成后將炮臺(tái)快速位移和提供近程支援轟炸。

Among all of?the Emperor's Legions, the White Scars were the most enthusiastic adopters of the newer Thunderhawk pattern gunships, smaller mass produced replacements for the ancient and vast Stormbird pattern dropships that had served the earliest incarnations of the Legiones Astartes since their departure from Terra itself 。These vehicles, while less powerful and imposing than the huge Stormbirds, were more easily customised by the Gan-khan of the armoury to suit the needs of?the White Scars, and far more easily maintained and supplied on the long, solitary campaigns favoured by the Vth Legion. By the time of the Chondax campaign, most of?the larger Brotherhoods of the Vth Legion had been assigned at least a single Thunderhawk, with some fielding enough to transport their entire complement into battle without recourse to more cumbersome landing craft.

在帝皇的所有軍團(tuán)當(dāng)中，白疤軍團(tuán)是新近的雷鷹型號(hào)炮艇的最為熱情的采用者——雷鷹是古老而巨大的風(fēng)暴鳥(niǎo)空降艇的大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)的小型替代品，而自最早的阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)離開(kāi)泰拉時(shí)，風(fēng)暴鳥(niǎo)就已經(jīng)服役了。雖然雷鷹不如巨大的風(fēng)暴鳥(niǎo)那樣強(qiáng)力和雄偉，但（掌管）軍械庫(kù)的甘可汗更輕易地就對(duì)它們進(jìn)行了改制來(lái)適合白疤軍團(tuán)的需要，而且雷鷹在白疤所偏愛(ài)的長(zhǎng)時(shí)間獨(dú)立作戰(zhàn)中維護(hù)和補(bǔ)給起來(lái)也要容易得多。在Chondax戰(zhàn)役時(shí)期，第五軍團(tuán)的大多數(shù)較為大型的兄弟會(huì)都被分配了至少一艘雷鷹炮艇，有些兄弟會(huì)使用了足夠的雷鷹炮艇來(lái)將他們的完整補(bǔ)員部隊(duì)運(yùn)送到戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上而不需要借助那些更為笨重的登錄艇。

Integral as they were to the mobile style of?warfare and operation favoured by the White Scars, these vehicles were the focus of many of the small rituals within the Brotherhoods. Upon their armoured flanks they bore the marks of?those who lived and died as warriors of?the ordu of?Jaghatai, serving as the shrines for the dead and fortresses for the living. Each bore a name and history the equal of any other veteran of?the Legion, and many enjoyed a fame more widespread among the Legion than the warriors who crewed them.

就像它們對(duì)白疤軍團(tuán)偏好的機(jī)動(dòng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)與運(yùn)作風(fēng)格是必要的那樣，這些載具也是兄弟會(huì)中許多小型儀式的焦點(diǎn)。它們的側(cè)面裝甲上帶有那些作為察合臺(tái)大汗的傲杜戰(zhàn)士而活著和戰(zhàn)死的白疤們的標(biāo)志，它們是逝者的圣地與生者的要塞。每架載具都承載了等同于軍團(tuán)中其他老兵的名稱與歷史，而且很多載具在軍團(tuán)中都享受著比那些駕駛著他們的戰(zhàn)士們傳播得更廣的名聲。
