hh6节译：吞世者军团装甲预备队

In the aftermath of the XIIth Legion's participation in the great betrayal at the Isstvan System, the World Eaters accelerated their course along a trajectory begun years before, one that would ultimately see their Primarch damned and his Legionaries transformed into debased savages bearing scant resemblance to the champions of humanity the Emperor had intended them to be. As a consequence of this change, the distribution and deployment of certain units within the Legion altered as they fell from use, replaced in the line by other, often more direct, unsubtle and brutal war machines. The World Eaters armoured reserve is an example of this phenomenon and indicative of the shifting tactical doctrines (or perhaps the increasing abandonment of such) prevalent in the Legion throughout the period between Isstvan V and the end of the Shadow Crusade.

当第十二军团在伊斯特万星系参加了大叛乱之后，吞世者军团沿着几年前便开始的轨迹加速前进——这条轨迹最终将会见证第十二军团的战士和他们那该死的原体安格隆的转变成与帝皇预想中的人类勇士毫无相似之处的卑贱野蛮人。作为这一变化的后果，军团中某些单位的分布和部署因停止中断或使用其他更为直接、粗笨且残酷的战争机器而发生了变化。吞世者军团的装甲储备是这种现象的一个例子，表明了从伊斯特万五号大屠杀到暗影远征结束的时间段中流行于军团中的不断变化的战术信条（或者也许是对于这种信条的逐渐放弃）。

As World Eaters battle doctrines became ever more focused on direct infantry assaults, it remained nonetheless crucial to maintain a strong reserve of armoured vehicles that could be mobilised to support such massed assaults. The Legion fief world of Bodt was the base of one such reserve of armoured units, its vast armoured silos host to many hundreds of Legion war machines of every possible class, as well as a cadre of reserve crew-masters able to train new crews and to operate the machines if called upon at short notice to mount a defence of their base, as happened when the city of Tredecimmia was assaulted by the forces of Autek Mor.

随着吞世者的战斗信条变得愈发注重于直接的步兵进攻，尽管如此，保有可以动员起来支持这种大规模进攻的大量装甲载具储备仍然至关重要。军团的封地世界Bodt就是一个装甲单位储备基地，它庞大的装甲仓库容纳了数以百计的各种可能型号的军团战争机器，而且配备了一支后备车长核心部队，他们能够训练新成员，如果在短时间内要求他们对基地进行防御的话，他们也能驾驶载具——就是奥塔克 摩尔的部队进攻Tredecimmia城时所发生的那样。

The Tredecimmia armoured reserve was host to a range of war machines, the oldest of which had served in the latter days of the Unification Wars and which bore sub-unit icons and battle honours known only to the longest serving of Legion veterans. In contrast, the reserve also contained vehicles which had only recently been entered into the Legion's strength and which as yet bore few if any identifying marks. Even as the Horus Heresy ground onwards and savagery and chaos seized the entire galaxy, the XIIth Legion maintained a constant flow of machines and materiel from such Traitor-aligned Forge Worlds as Sarum and M'Pandex, ensuring that its arsenals were as potent as those of any other Legion.

Tredecimmia的装甲预备队拥有各种各样的战争机械，既有在统一战争后期就已经服役的最为古老的战争引擎，也有拥有着那些只有最为资深的军团老兵们才知道的次级单位图标和战斗荣誉的辉煌战车。相反，预备队也同样保有了那些最近才加入军团、而且到目前为止几乎没有任何识别标记的载具。哪怕是随着荷鲁斯叛乱不断推进，野蛮暴行和混乱状态遍布银河之时，诸如Sarum和M'Pandex之类与叛军结盟的铸造世界也为第十二军团源源不断地提供着机械和军备，确保第十二军团的兵工厂就像其他所有军团的那样强力。

With the coming of the Red Talon to Bodt however, the entire reserve held there was destroyed, even though the crew-master cadre that manned its vehicles mounted a fearsome and determined defence that, though they were doomed, reaped a heavy toll on the Loyalist invaders.

不过，随着红爪部队来到Bodt，留在当地的整支预备队都被摧毁了，即使操纵着其载具的车长核心部队发起可怕而坚决的防御战。不过虽然他们被毁灭了，但他们还是让忠诚派部队付出了沉重的代价。
