八版圣典节译：暴风忠嗣军

MILITARUM TEMPESTUS 

Militarum Tempestus Scions are cold, proficient killers whose deadly firepower reduces foes to smouldering heaps of corpses. Trained in the Schola Progenium, these men commit to a rigorous program of physical and mental indoctrination that raises them to the peak of human conditioning. Loyal to the Emperor above all else, Tempestus Scions provide High Command with a core of flexible, nigh-incorruptible soldiers. Deployed sparingly, they can be depended upon to complete any mission, no matter how deadly. Racing into battle aboard armoured transports or plummeting down upon grav-chutes, the Scions are the sharp edge of the Imperial Guard war machine. 

军务部风暴忠嗣军是冷酷且训练有素的杀手，他们的致命火力能让敌人们化为闷烧着的尸堆。这些士兵们受训于忠嗣学院，他们接受了严格的生理和精神教导，达到人类适应能力的巅峰。对风暴忠嗣军而言，忠于帝皇高于一切，他们向（星界军）高级指挥部提供了一群灵活且近乎不受腐化的士兵。只要部署得当，不管多么致命的任务他们都能完成。忠嗣军们会乘坐着装甲运输车冲入战场，或者使用重力滑翔伞从空中速降，他们是帝国卫队战争机器的锋刃。

TEMPESTUS SCIONS

风暴忠嗣军

Each squad of Tempestus Scions consists of veteran warriors, trained and equipped to the highest standard. Protected by rigid armaplas and reinforced ceramitc plates, Scions wield a sophisticated range of high-powered weapons that perfectly complement their shock assault role, and their discipline is such that they can direct their deadly firepower to absolute optimum effect. Unlike the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum, Scions endure a brutally uncompromising training regime, ensuring that only the most skilled and resolute amongst them ever see battle. 

每支风暴忠嗣军小队都由老兵们组成，他们接受了最高标准的训练，配备了最高标准的武器装备。他们穿着由坚硬的塑铁（机仆：战锤40K世界中常见的复合材料，由塑料和金属构成。甲壳甲的主要材料）和强化过的陶钢板制成的护甲，使用着一系列补足他们突击队角色的精密高能武器，而且他们受过的训练极为严格，以至于他们能以绝对的最佳效率用致命的火力击中目标。不同于星界军的（普通）卫军们，忠嗣军们忍受着残酷而毫无妥协的训练制度，这确保只有他们中最熟练且最坚定的人才能参加战斗。

The standard-issue weapon for Tempestus Scions is the hot-shot lasgun. Each of these rifles is fitted with an potent external power cell, allowing them to penetrate thicker armour than the mass-produced lasguns used by rank-and-file Guardsmen. When deployed against armoured enemy infantry, Tempestus Scions wield hot-shot volley guns. With a more powerful blast and extreme rate of fire, they are perfect for bringing down traitor Space Marines and xenos beasts. 

风暴忠嗣军们的标配武器是热射激光枪。这种激光步枪全都配备了一个额外的强调能量电池，这允许他们穿透更为厚重的装甲——这种厚度的装甲是普通星界军使用的大规模量产激光步枪无法穿透的。当应对身披装甲的敌军步兵时，风暴忠嗣军会使用热射排枪。依靠着更为强力的爆炸和极端的射速，它们非常适合放倒叛徒星际战士和异形野兽。

Militarum Tempestus Scions are often viewed with fear or resentment by the regular troops - nicknames such as 'glory boys' and 'big toy soldiers' are common. Yet this rancour is nothing to the Scions themselves. Trained in covert operations and rapid insertion strike-tactics, they go to battle confident that their every deed is for the good of the Imperium, carrying out their orders with merciless and uncompromising pragmatism. 

常规部队们通常会带着畏惧或愤恨来看待风暴忠嗣军们，“光荣小子”和“大号玩具兵”之类的绰号颇为常见。然而，这种仇恨对忠嗣军们自身来说是无关紧要的。他们接受过秘密行动和快速插入攻击战术的训练，他们在参战时坚信自己的每一项行动都是为了帝国的利益，以无情和毫不妥协的务实态度执行自己的命令。

TEMPESTOR PRIMES 

风暴之首

Each Militarum Tempestus platoon is led into battle by a grizzled officer known as a Tempestor Prime. Such men are promoted on battlefield record alone, their accolades earned through courage and unshakeable discipline in the line of fire. The tactics they employ as a commander are the product of the countless missions they have undertaken as a Scion, and as such they have an intrinsic understanding of the capabilities of their soldiers. Able to operate on their own initiative in a way entirely alien to the majority of the Astra Militarum, these men lead their Progenium brethren into battle with merciless efficiency. 

每个军务部风暴忠嗣军排都由一名被称为“风暴之首”的头发花白（资深）军官率领参战。这些军官只能根据战场（表现）记录进行拔擢，他们的荣誉是靠在火线上（展现出）的勇气和坚不可摧的纪律赢得的。作为指挥官，他们所部署的战术诞生自他们作为（普通）忠嗣军们执行过的无数任务，所以他们也对麾下士兵们的能力有着先天的理解。风暴之首们以某种对于大多数星界军而言完全陌生的方式来自主行动，他们率领着麾下优秀的士兵们以无情的效率投入战斗。

TEMPESTUS COMMAND SQUADS

风暴指挥小队

Each Tempestus Command Squad is comprised of the very best Scions in the regiment. A Tempestus Command Squad will often shadow a Tempestor Prime on an operation, shielding him against incoming fire while answering with salvoes of their own. Vox operators relay the Tempcstor Prime's commands across the vox-net while medics patch up and inject stimulant concoctions Into downed soldiers so that they can continue to tight. Some Tempestus Command Squads also carry their platoon's banner into battle, waving its colours in proud defiance as they lead the charge against the enemy. 

每支风暴指挥小队都是由星界军团中最优秀的忠嗣军们组成，他们在行动中通常都会拱卫着一名风暴之首，为指挥官阻挡来袭的炮火，同时也用他们自己的齐射进行还击。步话机操作官利用步话机网络传达指挥官的指挥命令，医疗官给倒下的士兵注射兴奋剂混合物，这样伤兵们就能继续保持精神紧绷的状态。某些风暴指挥小队也会带着自己排的战旗参战，当他们带头向敌人发起冲锋时，他们会自豪地挥舞旗帜以示（对敌军的）蔑视。
