警戒明瞳之印

For many years before the bloodshed of the Horus Heresy, the Iron Hands Legion had fought closely alongside those who would turn traitor and once called them brother. The Warmaster Horus, in particular, valued the Legion's ruthless power and expertise as well as the generalship of Ferrus Manus. As a result of the Iron Hands' successes, many laurels of victory were conferred among them, and nascent warrior lodges were founded in the Legion, but never fully took hold, perhaps owing to the Iron Hands' cold dependence on logic and rationality. One award in particular, known by the Iron Hands as The Seal of the Eye of Vigilance' was bestowed by the Warmaster on the Iron Hands who served beside him in battle and was held in high regard. It was with bitter spite that some Iron Hands still bore this decoration on their armour at Isstvan V, vowing only to deface them with the blood and bone of the enemy.

在荷鲁斯叛乱的血腥杀戮到来的很多年之前,铁手军团曾经密切地与那些后来成为叛徒的星际战士军团们配合作战,他们曾经称呼后者为兄弟。战帅荷鲁斯尤其珍视第十军团无情的力量和专长以及费鲁斯 马努斯的帅才。由于铁手军团(取得)的成功,许多胜利的荣誉都被给予了他们,军团中也能发现新生的战士结社,但他们从未完全在第十军团里站稳脚跟,在可能是由于钢铁之手们基于逻辑和理性的冷静判断。特别是一项被钢铁之手们称为“警戒明瞳之印”的奖励——这项奖励被战帅给予那些在战斗中随侍他的钢铁之手们,而且受到高度重视。(然而)在伊斯特万五号上,某些仍然在自己的动力甲上佩戴着这种勋章的钢铁之手们遭到了苦涩的鄙视,这些人发誓他们只会用敌人的鲜血和残骨来抹去这些标志。

The Bloody Echo of Isstvan

伊斯特万的血腥回响

In the death of Ferrus Manus, to the minds of his Legion, there was failure and there was weakness. For some of the Iron Hands survivors, their Primarch, who they had held up as the paragon of strength and intelligence, had been shown to be weak by his death, and by extension the Iron Hands had been shown to be weak themselves and perhaps deserving of destruction when judged by their own creed by following him. Others laid the blame purely on the treachery of those who had turned from the Emperor, descending into a fratricidal hate that consumed everything else. Others within the Legion would turn inwards, despising their own perceived failings of hubris and weak flesh, and still yet others would go on to harbour the seeds of bitter scorn and distrust for those who had failed their Primarch, both as brothers and as allies in the battle, failing either by their actions or by allowing themselves to be duped into being sent far away when the traitors had struck. Regardless of where the blame truly resided, many within the Iron Hands Legion, now fatherless, dealt with this traumatic crisis on a personal level in a simpler and more direct fashion; they went violently insane.

在第十军团的心中,费鲁斯 马努斯之死是一种失败和软弱。对某些铁手幸存者而言,他们笃信为力量与才智的杰出典范的基因原体也已经被自己的死亡证明为是软弱的,推而广之那便是铁手军团自身被证明是软弱的,可能当他们追随原体根据他们自己的信条来判断时,他们只配被毁灭;其他幸存者则纯粹将之归因为背弃帝皇者的背叛,堕入到吞噬其他一切事物的自相残杀的愤恨中。军团中的其他成员则转向内部,鄙视自己所意识到的软弱的血肉和傲慢(导致)的失败;而还有些其他成员将会继续抱有苦涩蔑视之种,他们不信任那些辜负了原体的人,无论是作为兄弟还是作为战斗中的友军,他们对原体的辜负要么是因为自己的行为,要么是因为在叛军袭击时,他们允许自己被骗到远离原体的地方。不管真正的罪魁祸首应该落于何处,许多现在已经痛失亲父的钢铁之手们在个人层面上以更简单更直接的方式来处理这种创伤性危机;他们变得极为疯狂。
