hh5渣翻节译:极限战士军团的装甲部队
The Ultramarines Legion was able to draw upon the wealth and resources of Ultramar and as such possessed extensive strategic reserves of munitions and materiel amassed over many years. Not least among these asset was the mighty fleet of war ships, many of which were constructed within the Five Hundred Worlds or, in the case of the very heaviest of classes, in the Forge Worlds of Thramas. Of equal import to the Legion’s ongoing operations were the large numbers of armoured vehicles which its chapters were able to call upon, and the Ultramarines were well versed in the many doctrines of armoured warfare.
极限战士军团能够利用奥特拉玛的财富和资源,因此,他们拥有多年积累的大量弹药和物资战略储备。这些战略资产中最重要的是强大的战列舰队(机仆:其实平心而论,蓝精灵的私家治安舰队,比较让人一言难尽…重型战舰没有死守多,玩过哥特舰队的应该都有这种体验:到后期重型战舰尤其是战列舰抗线作用是很重要的),当中的很多都是在五百世界里建造的,或者,就那些吨位最大的战舰来说,是在萨拉马斯星区(萨拉马斯是sector,星区。有两个著名地点和他接壤:食尸鬼群星,那斯特洛姆星区,从银河尺度上来说,蓝爷爷基本上就住在壳子的隔壁小区…)的那些铸造世界里建造出来的。对军团正在进行的行动同样重要的是战团能够召唤到的大量装甲载具,极限战士们也极其精通大量的装甲战术信条。
Each of the Ultramarines Legion chapters maintained its own stocks of armoured vehicles, allowing individual formations to deploy as befitted tactical and environmental conditions. All held large numbers of Rhino armoured carriers, used for the rapid conveyance of massed squads across open terrain, while many maintained sufficient numbers of Land Raiders to prosecute armoured spearhead assaults directly into the teeth of enemy posirions. These transport vehicles were bolstered by armoured support echelons of Predator and Sicaran battle tanks, with long range bombardment being supplied by batteries of Whirlwind missile tanks and other patterns of mobile Legion artillery.
在极限战士军团当中,每个战团都保有自己的装甲载具储备,这也允许独立的极限战士装甲编队根据战术和环境条件进行部署。各战团都拥有大量的犀牛装甲运兵车,用于在开阔的地形上快速运送集结的小队,同时很多战团保有了数量可观的兰德掠夺者来组成装甲矛头进攻敌人防备严密的地方。这些装甲运输载具由掠食者坦克和西卡然战斗坦克组成的梯队进行护送,而且还有旋风导弹坦克和其他型号的军团机动炮兵单位提供的长距离轰炸。

One body within the Legiones Astartes Ultramarines maintained especially extensive numbers of armoured vehicles - the 4th Chapter, known with increasing formality as the Aurorans*. This formation operated a wide range of tanks, but was especially well known for its expertise in the deployment of super-heavy engines including the Fellblade, Falchion and Glaive as well as other, far less well known or prototype classes.
在极限战士军团当中,第四战团保有了非常大量的装甲载具,他们越来越正式地被称为极光战团(机仆:也叫曙光女神战团,欧若拉战团,就是40k那个坦克非常多的蓝精灵子团,载具保有量是普通战团的三倍),他们拥有种类繁多的坦克,但他们最为著名的是他们在部署超重型坦克方面的专长,他们部署的超重坦包括残暴之刃、弯刀和飞刃以及其他远不为人所知的型号或者原型机。
Specialist Armoured Vehicles
特化装甲载具
The Ultramarines Legion armoured forces included a wide range of vehicle classes, patterns and types, including the very earliest patterns of war machines which were subsequently deployed in large numbers across the entire Legiones Astartes. Some of these had been kept operational by constant field repair and had not received the attentions of the Legion Forge for many decades. Conversely, the Legions forces included vehicles only just beginning to see use, one of which was the Damocles pattern command Rhino, a Deimos pattern armoured carrier modified by replacing most of its troop carrying capacity with a suite of sophisticated communications equipment. Following the Ultramarines' example, this command and control platform was beginning to enter service across the Legions by the close of the Great Crusade, the sons of Guilliman leading by example and sharing their hard-won battle doctrines with their brother Legions.
极限战士军团装甲部队包括种类繁多的载具等级,型号和分类。其中包括那些随后被大量部署到整个阿斯塔特军团的战争机器的最早期型号。其中一些通过不断的现场维修得以保持运转,他们几十年来一直未受到军团锻造厂的关注。相反,军团装甲部队中包括刚刚开始使用的载具类型,其中之一就是达摩克利斯型犀牛指挥车——把多数部队运输功能区替换为一套复杂的通讯设备。追随极限战士军团开创的先例,在大远征结束时,这种指挥和控制平台开始在军团中服役。吉利曼的子嗣们以身作则,和兄弟军团们分享他们来之不易的战斗信条。
