The Gal Vorbak is a title that, over time, came to refer to any of the Word Bearers who were possessed by the powers of the Warp, but those who later bore the title were a lesser breed of abomination compared to the first of the Legion? brethren who sealed their pact with darkness. The Gal Vorbak were the first of their kind; Space Marines and Daemons fused into a single being. The lords of the Left Hand believe that the Gal Vorbak formed from the survivors of the Word Bearers* first pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror. What happened to those first few cannot be known, but those who returned had taken the power of Chaos into their bodies and souls. Capable of seeming unaltered, they were able to commune with the daemonic parasites that shared their existence. In battle they could shed their veil of seeming and become true monsters, fusions of armour, bone and muscle charged with supernatural power. Marked by their crimson armour they were a revered elite amongst the Word Bearers, walking embodiments of Lorgar?true vision for his Legion.

受祝之子是一個(gè)稱號(hào)，隨著時(shí)間的推移，它開始代指任何一個(gè)被亞空間力量所占據(jù)的懷言者。不過，相比于懷言者軍團(tuán)中第一批與黑暗達(dá)成協(xié)議兄弟們相比，那些后來(lái)獲得這個(gè)頭銜的人不那么令人厭惡。（機(jī)仆：受祝之子有兩批，第一批基本被鴉王在伊五屠光了，考斯那群是第二批。）受祝之子們是這類戰(zhàn)士當(dāng)中的第一批：星際戰(zhàn)士和惡魔融合為同一個(gè)體。左手領(lǐng)主們（機(jī)仆：指的應(yīng)該是帝皇的左手——禁軍的指揮官們）相信受祝之子是由懷言者們第一次進(jìn)入恐懼之眼的朝圣旅程的幸存者組成的，最初的那些受祝之子們身上發(fā)生了什么我們不得而知，但那些返回的的人將亞空間的力量注入了自己的身體和靈魂當(dāng)中。他們能夠讓自己看起來(lái)沒有發(fā)生變化，而且能夠和那些與自己共享身體的惡魔寄主們溝通。在戰(zhàn)斗中他們能夠揭開他們表面的普通阿斯塔特外表，變成真正的怪物。充滿超自然力量的盔甲、骨頭和肌肉融合在一起。猩紅色的盔甲是他們的標(biāo)志，在懷言者當(dāng)中，他們是兄弟們所敬重的精英戰(zhàn)士，是珞珈對(duì)于十七軍團(tuán)真實(shí)構(gòu)想的行走于凡世的體現(xiàn)。

After the Word Bearers revealed their true nature at Isstvan V, the crimson of the Gal Vorbak spread to the rest of the Legion in fits and starts, and new Gal Vorbak walked with them. These new creatures were weaker than those who first went into the Eye of Terror. Perhaps the flesh and souls they enslaved were of a lesser stock, or perhaps the powers of?the Warp, having no need for kindness or to prove their worth as allies any longer, had not invested them with the power of their predecessors. Irrespective of their power or pedigree, there has been no greater defilement of the Emperor's work in creating the Space Marines than these loathsome creatures.

當(dāng)懷言者在伊斯特萬(wàn)五號(hào)高舉反旗之后，受祝之子的猩紅涂裝斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地傳播給軍團(tuán)的其他成員，新的受祝之子們也與他們前行。新的受祝之子們不如第一批進(jìn)入過恐懼之眼朝圣的幸存者那般強(qiáng)大。也許是他們奴役的血肉和靈魂存貨不足，或者，也許是亞空間力量不再需要仁慈或證明他們作為盟友的價(jià)值，新的受祝之子們沒有被賦予他們前輩的力量。不管他們的力量或血統(tǒng)如何，這些招人厭惡的怪胎是對(duì)帝皇創(chuàng)造星際戰(zhàn)士的工作的莫大侮辱。
