TYRANID WARRIORS?

Tyranid Warriors are the most adaptable of all the Hive Mind's bioforms. They are creatures from the blackest of nightmares, unstoppable killing machines with pulsing ichor for blood, needle-sharp teeth and darkly gleaming eyes that reveal a terrible intelligence at work. A Tyranid Warrior stands twice the height of a man, its carapace protected by a thick chitin. One might expect such a creature to be slow in its actions, but a Tyranid Warrior is lithe, with reactions as swift as a whip.

在所有蟲(chóng)巢意識(shí)的生物形式中，泰倫武士是最具適應(yīng)性的。它們是來(lái)自最漆黑噩夢(mèng)的生物，這些不可阻擋的殺戮機(jī)器體內(nèi)涌動(dòng)著膿液而非血液，長(zhǎng)著刺針般鋒利的牙齒，閃爍著黑色光芒的眼睛顯示其腦中有著恐怖的智能在發(fā)揮作用。泰倫武士站起來(lái)的身高是人類的兩倍，甲殼外包裹著一層厚重的幾丁質(zhì)。人們或許會(huì)認(rèn)為這種生物行動(dòng)緩慢，但（事實(shí)上）泰倫武士身軀柔韌，它們的反應(yīng)就和鞭子（抽打）一般迅速。

Tyranid Warriors have the mental flexibility to employ a wide variety of bio-weapon symbiotes. As such, on the battlefield, they can be found leading all areas of a Tyranid swarm, fighting in close quarters with claws, boneswords and lash whips, or at longer ranges with devourers, deathspitters or even heavier bio-cannons. Whatever weaponry it wields, a Tyranid Warrior is a dangerous and unforgiving foe, able to identify and exploit the weaknesses of its targets with innate shrewdness. Worse, with its alien consciousness permanently bonded to the ageless Hive Mind, a Tyranid Warrior can instantly draw upon a reservoir of knowledge and experience that spans epochs, should its own prove insufficient to the task at hand.?

泰倫武士所具備的精神靈活性令其能夠使用多種多樣的共生體生物武器。因此在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上，我我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)泰倫武士們領(lǐng)導(dǎo)一個(gè)泰倫蟲(chóng)群在所有區(qū)域的作戰(zhàn)行動(dòng)，它們要么是用利爪、骨劍和纏繞鞭與敵人近戰(zhàn)，要么就是用噬肉槍、死亡噴吐炮和沉重的毒液炮進(jìn)行遠(yuǎn)程射擊。無(wú)論使用何種武器，泰倫武士都是一種危險(xiǎn)且無(wú)情的敵人，它們能夠依靠自己天生的精明識(shí)別并利用目標(biāo)的弱點(diǎn)。更糟的是，由于它們的異星意識(shí)與永恒的蟲(chóng)巢意識(shí)永久性地連接在一起，如果其自身被證明不足以完成手頭的任務(wù)時(shí)，泰倫武士會(huì)立刻使用那些跨越了（數(shù)個(gè)）世代的知識(shí)與經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

Though they are formidable fighters in their own right, it is the Tyranid Warriors' role as the synaptic lynchpins of the swarm that makes them truly deadly. Tyranid Warriors are psychic resonators for the unwavering will of the Hive Mind and some of the more common conduits used to exert control over the less receptive creatures of the hive fleets. As such, Tyranid Warriors form a vital link in the Tyranid swarm, acting as relays and amplifiers through which Hive Tyrants issue their commands. So crucial is this role to a hive fleet's efforts to defeat a prey world's defenders that each Hive Tyrant is invariably accompanied by several broods of Tyranid Warriors cultured from its very own flesh - the better to enhance the psychic link throughout the swarm. This is not to imply that Tyranid Warriors are merely drones, for each is instinctively capable of assessing local battlefield situations. They can then, if the need arises, direct those Tyranid creatures near them, like an officer marshalling their forces, to exploit any tactical weakness that may appear in the enemy's defences.?

盡管他們自身就是可畏的戰(zhàn)士，但泰倫武士真正致命的一點(diǎn)在于它們作為蟲(chóng)群的節(jié)點(diǎn)突觸的角色。泰倫武士與蟲(chóng)巢意識(shí)那堅(jiān)定的意志存在靈能共鳴，它們是某種用于控制蟲(chóng)巢艦隊(duì)中那些低級(jí)生物的常見(jiàn)（靈能）導(dǎo)管。因此，泰倫武士們組成了泰倫蟲(chóng)群中的一道關(guān)鍵紐帶，充當(dāng)著蟲(chóng)巢暴君所放出命令的中轉(zhuǎn)站和放大器。這一角色對(duì)于蟲(chóng)群艦隊(duì)擊敗獵物世界的守軍是如此重要，以至于每一只蟲(chóng)巢暴君身邊都總是追隨著幾群由自己的血肉培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的泰倫戰(zhàn)士——這樣可以更好地加強(qiáng)整個(gè)蟲(chóng)群中的靈能聯(lián)系。這并不意味著泰倫武士們僅僅是工蜂，它們也都能本能地評(píng)估當(dāng)?shù)氐膽?zhàn)場(chǎng)形勢(shì)。如果有必要的話，他們也能像軍官指揮下屬部隊(duì)那樣指揮自己身邊的泰倫生物們，以此來(lái)利用任何可能出現(xiàn)在敵人防御上的戰(zhàn)術(shù)弱點(diǎn)。

TYRANID PRIMES

武士之首

Tyranid Primes are the apex of the Tyranid Warrior strain - faster, stronger and smarter than the other Warriors they lead to battle, who instinctively emulate their deadly skill. In the absence of a Hive Tyrant or other advanced organism, these creatures will act as swarm leaders, a task at which they excel. Each Tyranid Prime has aided in the destruction of countless worlds, and slaughtered foes of all descriptions. They direct the bio-weapon fire of nearby Tyranid Warriors with unerring precision.

武士之首是泰倫武士族群中的頂級(jí)生物，相比于被其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作戰(zhàn)的其他泰倫武士，它們速度更快、體格更壯、頭腦也更聰明——前者會(huì)本能地模仿它們的致命技藝。在沒(méi)有蟲(chóng)巢暴君或其他高級(jí)生物（在場(chǎng)）的情況下，這些生物將扮演蟲(chóng)群領(lǐng)袖——這是它們所擅長(zhǎng)的任務(wù)。每只武士之首都協(xié)助過(guò)對(duì)于無(wú)數(shù)世界的毀滅行動(dòng)，并屠殺過(guò)所有類型的敵人。他們精確無(wú)誤地指揮著附近的泰倫武士們用生化武器開(kāi)火射擊。
