hh5渣翻节译：怀言者军团装甲部队

Never known for employing massed heavy armour formations, the XVIIth Legion preferred to focus its strength on infantry companies of various specialisations, and those armoured formations which it did employ were intended to act in close support of infantry. Its mechanised phalanxes included a spearhead of heavy armour alongside a heavy infantry force, often including Cataphractii units, mounted in Land Raider transports. In battle, the heavy armour was tasked with sweeping aside screening enemy units and unleashing a bone-shattering barrage to prepare the way for the infantry assault.

第十七军团并不因部署大量的重装甲部队而著称，他们偏好把力量集中到拥有各种特长的步兵连队上，他们确实会部署的装甲部队旨在近距离支援步兵。第十七军团的机械化方阵包括重型装甲载具矛头搭配重步兵部队，通常包括搭乘这兰德掠夺者的铁骑终结者单位。在战斗中，重装甲部队负责扫荡的敌军掩护单位，并释放出一个毁灭性的弹幕来为步兵攻击做准备。

Of all the chapters of the Word Bearers, the chapter of the Graven Star was known to field the highest number of armoured units in the XVIIth Legion. Aggressive use of these units had led the chapter to many victories in the Great Crusade, for which it also acquired a reputation for ruthless efficiency on the attack and bloody-minded stubbornness in defence.

在怀言者军团的所有战团中，不灭铁星战团因部署数量最多的装甲单位而著称。对于这些单位的积极使用让该战团在大远征中屡屡获胜，不过他们也因此获得了攻击无情高效和防御血腥顽固的名声。

The Graven Star was deployed to the muster zone at Khomesh, with several of its armoured squadrons operating under the colours of other chapters which were not present at Calth. The phalanx 'Invisible Truth*, one of the few squadrons to field multiple super-heavy vehicles, took up station alongside the Ultramarines superheavy squadrons that had yet to embark. The phalanx slowly moved to positions that offered interlocking fields of fire over the unsuspecting Ultramarines vehicles, remaining powered-up at battle alert under the guise of battle-readiness drills. When the Campanile struck the fatally unprepared Ultramarines orbital docks, the vehicles of 'Invisible Truth* turned their guns on their brethren without hesitation. The opening salvo left the unpowered and uncrewed vehicles of the XIII'th Legion burning, while the charge of the Land Raider-mounted infantry squads slaughtered the crews and those squads of Ultramarines charged with the security of the armoured squadrons.

不灭铁星在Khomesh被部署到了集结区，该战团的数个装甲中队在行动中喷涂上了那些未出现在考斯的其他十七军团战团的配色。“无形真理”方阵——为数不多的拥有多辆超重型车辆的中队之一，该中队驻守在了尚未登舰的极限战士超重型载具中队旁边（机仆：名义上神棍们是去考斯与蓝精灵进行集合，一起去暴打绿皮。不知情的蓝精灵事先把主力部队运到了考斯，考斯会战爆发之前，蓝精灵部队正在进行最后的登舰准备）。该方阵缓慢移动到了能够对毫无防备的极限战士载具进行连锁开火的位置（机仆：从上下文来看，神棍们是找了个类似伏击区的地方，能够用己方载具对对方载具进行连续火力压制），并在战备演习的伪装下保持战斗警戒状态。当钟楼号袭击了毫无防备的极限战士轨道船坞时，“无形真理”方阵的载具毫不犹豫地将炮口转向了第十三军团的表亲兄弟们。开场齐射使第十三军团的载具熊熊燃烧起来，这些极限战士的载具们尚未被发动，乘员们也尚未登上它们。同时，搭乘着兰德掠夺者的怀言者步兵小队们发起冲锋，他们屠杀了极限战士载具乘员们和那些负责装甲中队安全工作的极限战士小队。
