八版圣典节译:恐虐狂战士
It was the gruesome experiments of Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters, that led to the creation of the first Berzerkers. By the ritual lobotomisation of his warriors, he removed all sense of fear and danger and then heightened the rush his soldiers experienced in combat. When the Legion swore itself to Khorne, the Berzerkers were no longer bound by Imperial battle doctrine and were given full rein to exercise their bloodthirsty skills. They have since become the ultimate close combat shock troops, entering an uncontrollable frenzy in the heat of battle. 正是吞世者原体安格隆所做的可怕实验导致了第一批恐虐狂战士的诞生。通过仪式性的额叶切除手术,原体移除了这些战士们对于恐惧和危险的感知力,并提升了士兵们在战斗中所能感受到的冲击。当吞世者军团发誓效忠于恐虐时,狂战士们就不再受到帝国战斗信条的束缚,得以充分发挥出自己的血腥技艺。他们自此成为了彻底的近战突击部队,会在激烈的战斗中进入了无法控制的疯狂状态


Those who wish to fully dedicate themselves to Khorne usually join the World Eaters to undergo the complex psycho-surgery they employ. Once the procedure is complete, they are one with their angry god, feeling nothing but the desire to kill, maim and burn. After the World Eaters Legion disbanded during the fighting on Skalathrax, most Berzerkers formed separate warbands, and many bastardised practices of lobotomisation spread to other Chaos Space Marine forces with them. Abaddon, in particular, has recruited a number of highly skilled Berzerker-surgeons to his cause, and only the Black Legion is even close to the World Eaters in their perfection of this barbaric procedure.
那些希望完全献身于恐虐的人们通常会加入吞世者军团,接受他们所进行的复杂灵能手术。手术一旦完成,他们就能和自己愤怒的神明融为一体,心中只能感觉到杀戮、凌虐和焚烧的欲望。自从吞世者军团在Skalathrax世界的战斗中解体之后,大多数狂战士组成了独立的战帮,许多卑劣的脑叶切除行为也随之传播到了其他混沌星际战士部队中。阿巴顿尤其如此,他招募了许多拥有狂战士改造技术的技艺高超的药剂师们,也只有黑色军团在这一野蛮手术过程的完善程度上接近吞世者军团。






Khorne Berzerkers are savage fighters who revel in the bloodiest hand-to-hand fighting they can find. In their perpetual quest to offer up blood and skulls to Khorne, they carry many vicious close combat weapons into battle. Many wield roaring, adamantine-bladed chainaxes, although the chainsword is equally favoured. The champions that lead each warband can sometimes be seen hefting heavy, baroque weapons lined with diamond-hard teeth that can chew through vehicles to get at the crew inside. Ritual knives and scimitars are often worn into battle, the blades of which are only ever used to hack heads from necks.
恐虐狂战士们残忍野蛮,他们陶醉于自己能找到的最血腥肉搏战。狂战士们永远都在追求将鲜血与颅骨献给恐虐,他们在战斗中会携带众多恶毒危险的近战武器。很多狂战士挥舞着轰鸣的精金齿刃的链锯斧,不过链锯剑也同样受到偏好。有时我们会看到率领狂战士战帮的混沌勇士们扛着沉重的巴洛克风格武器,其上排列着钻石般坚硬的锯齿,这种武器能够撕碎载具的外壳,杀死里面的乘员。仪式匕首和弯刀也经常在战斗中被使用,不过这些利刃只是用于从脖子上砍下敌人的头。


After they have decapitated every nearby enemy soldier, the warriors of Khorne will even take the skulls of their own fallen and offer them to their brazen god before plunging back into the fray. The stark truth is that the brethren of the Blood God care little how they spill the blood of those around them. As far as the Berzerkers are concerned, bare fists, a heavy rock or sharpened teeth will do if nothing else is available!
在他们砍下附近每一个敌军士兵的头颅后,恐虐的战士们甚至会在投入下一次战斗之前将己方死者的头颅献给他们的黄铜神明。赤裸裸的事实就是,血神的武士们并不关心他们如何放出周围人的鲜血。对狂战士们而言,如果没有其他可用的武器,赤手空拳、一块沉重石头或锋利的牙齿都可以用作武器杀戮敌人。
All Berzerkers of Khorne relish their role as the Blood God's sacred destroyers, and are fanatical in the extreme. The warp-fuelled anger of these psychopathic warriors drives them into an endless frenzy of action. Those who face them in battle disappear under a rain of heavy blows, each potent enough to shear limbs and shatter shields. Their delight in pain and death is so strong that they have been known to attack their comrades in a blind rage and, if no other opponent is present, even to fall upon their own weapons as sacrifices to Khorne.
所有的恐虐狂战士们都享受着他们作为血神的神圣毁灭者的角色,并且极端狂热。以亚空间能量为燃料的怒火驱使这些精神变态的战士们做出无尽的疯狂之举。那些在战斗中面对他们的人会在雨点般密集的重击下消失,狂战士每一次进攻都足以切断肢体,击碎盾牌。他们在痛苦和死亡中获取的喜悦是如此强烈,以至于他们会在盲目的愤怒中攻击自己的战友;如果没有其他对手在场,他甚至可以抄起武器将自己献祭给恐虐。
