hh2节译：火蜥蜴军团攻城核心部队

Like many other Legions, the Salamanders often group their armoured vehicles into large special purpose formations. Siege Cadre Magnor was one such formation and was based around a core squadron of Typhon Siege tanks, and supported by full squadrons of Predator Infernus and the new Sicaran battle tanks as outrider forces. Unlike many Cadres within the Salamanders, which were ad-hoc formations formed for a single mission or campaign and then reassigned as the course of the Great Crusaded endless battles dictated, Cadre Magnor, under the command of Centurion Magnor Haken, had achieved longevity, proving its worth time and again in situations that required the brute application of firepower to spare the Salamanders a costly infantry assault.

如同其他很多军团一样，火蜥蜴军团通常把他们的装甲载具聚集起来组成大型的特殊用途编队。马格诺尔攻城核心部队就是此类编队之一，它的建立基于一支堤丰攻城坦克核心中队，并由一整支炼狱型捕食者坦克中队提供支援，并有新型的西卡然战斗坦克作为先驱开路部队。火蜥蜴军团中的很多核心部队都是为了单一任务或战役而组建的临时特殊编队，之后他们则会随着大远征无尽的战况而被重新分配，马格诺尔攻城核心部队则不同，他们在百夫长马格诺尔 哈肯（机仆：啊，这…）的指挥下被长期保留，在一次又一次战争中，他们使用残酷的火力进攻对方，使火蜥蜴军团避免使用代价高昂的步兵突击战术，他们如是证明了自己的价值。

Landing during one of the later drops on Isstvan V ，Cadre Magnor was not initially deployed to the front lines of the Loyalist advance, forming part of the Salamander's reserve force not far from the Loyalist drop zones. With the betrayal of those Legions making up the second wave of the assault on Isstvan V ，Cadre Magnor found itself surrounded by enemies and cut off from their Primarch and the force of Salamanders trapped with him. Rather than dig in, or attempt to fight free of the Urgall Depression, Centurion Haken brought his tank, the Typhon Abraxus, to full power and signalled his Cadre to counter-attack. Using the sheer bulk of his two surviving Typhon super-heavies, Haken began to smash a path through the encircling Alpha Legion troops in an attempt to reach Vulkan. The trail of destruction forged by the Salamanders tanks was only ended when the Traitor Imperator Titan Dies Irae directed a salvo of fire onto their position, obliterating a number of Alpha Legion units as well as the Loyalist tank squadrons.

马格诺尔部队是在后续的空降行动中登陆了伊斯特万五号，他们最初并未被部署到忠诚派推进的前线，组成了距离忠诚派登陆区并不遥远的的火蜥蜴预备队的一部分。随着另外四个军团的叛变组成了伊斯特万五号上的第二波攻击潮，马格诺尔部队发现自己遭到了敌军的包围，并且被切断了与原体和遭到围困的同胞兄弟的联系。但百夫长哈肯并未深挖战壕进行防御或者试图杀出Urgall绝望平原来摆脱叛军，而是将自己的坦克——台风庇佑号提升到最大功率，示意他的部队发起反攻。利用两台幸存的堤丰超重坦的庞大车体，百夫长哈肯尝试与原体伏尔甘汇合，他们开始在包围火蜥蜴主力的阿尔法军团部队中冲开一条道路。直到叛军的帝皇级泰坦死亡末日号向他们的阵地猛烈开火，消灭了大量阿尔法军团单位和忠诚派坦克中队们时，火蜥蜴坦克们铸就的毁灭路径才终于停止了。
