hh4节译:荷鲁斯之子军团装甲部队

At the time of the Warmaster's advance on the Coronid Deeps, his Legion's armoured forces had been replenished substantially, having been severely depleted during the conflicts at Isstvan III and Isstvan V. In part this was because the Sons of Horus, and to some degree all of the Traitor Legions, had been able to salvage a treasure trove of war machines and materiel from the wreckage laid out upon the sands of the Urgall Depression in the wake of the Isstvan V Dropsite Massacre. It was also because the Warmaster's lieutenants ensured that, as the Traitor armies progressed, the efforts of the Dark Mechanicum and the brutal tithe extracted from the worlds they subjugated were first set to the supply of Horus' own above all others. This ensured that the latest and most powerful legiones astartes war machines，such as Falchion and Sicaran，quickly replaced lost or damaged war machines of older pattern still in the legion's service. 

当战帅在王冠深渊（机仆：我之前音译成了克罗尼深渊）推进时，荷鲁斯之子军团的装甲部队已经得到了大量补充，他们之前在伊斯特万三号和伊斯特万五号的冲突中严重减员。部分原因是因为荷鲁斯之子，以及某种程度上来说的所有叛徒军团们在伊斯特万五号登录点大屠杀后从躺倒在Urgall 绝望平原的战场上残骸中抢救出了战争机器和物资。这也是因为战帅的副官们确信随着叛军部队的发展，黑暗机械神教的努力和他们从征服世界中榨取的残酷什一税将被首先供应给荷鲁斯本人。这确保荷鲁斯之子们能用诸如弯刀和西卡然之类的最新最强大的阿斯塔特军团载具替换那些已经受损或报废的仍在军团中服役旧型号战争机器。

The 28th Armoured Assault Company“The Back Breaker"

第28装甲突击连队“断背者”(机仆：魔法小马哥震怒)

During the Warmaster's invasion of the Coronid Deeps, the armoured formations of the Sons of Horus were deployed across multiple war zones. In particular, the 28th Armoured Assault Company (known by the informal cognomen of the 'Back Breakers' for their use as a heavy assault attrition unit) claimed battle honours at Lascal and Taracanis, broken up into smaller, ship-based battlegroups, before taking part en masse in the final destruction of Hive Ilium on Manachea. In this conflict, the Sons of Horus deployed an enormous range and variety of armoured formations, maintaining a fluid command structure that allowed them to operate as a highly mobile reserve capable of reinforcing successful breakthroughs and delivering the final, crushing blow to a collapsing enemy defence. In particular, as the bulk of the Legion committed to the assault on Hive Ilium penetrated the hive city's dense environs, it split fluidly into multiple smaller strike groups. Each of these was assigned a squadron of tanks or an individual super-heavy tank to force a way through the heavier choke points and city nexuses, crushing defended positions and engaging enemy armour even as the Sons of Horus infantry counter-attacked any enemy that attempted to outflank the war engines and bring melta weaponry to bear.

在战帅入侵王冠深渊期间，荷鲁斯之子的装甲编队被部署到了多个战区。尤其是第28装甲突击连队（由于被用作给敌人造成消耗重型突击单位，他们也得到了非正式别名：断背者）声称在Lascal 和 Taracanis取得了战斗荣誉，在集体参加Manachea世界上的最终摧毁Ilium巢都到了战斗之前，他们被划分成更小的、基于星舰的战斗群。在这次战斗中，荷鲁斯之子部署了一支载具种类繁多的装甲编队，而且保持了一套不固定的指挥结构，这允许他们作为能够加强成功的突破并实现最终目标的高度机动后备力量进行运作，对正在崩溃的敌人防线的毁灭性打击。尤其是随着大半个军团负责进攻Ilium巢都并刺穿了巢城密集的周围地区环境，该连队流畅地划分成多个较小的打击群，每个打击群都被分配了一支坦克中队或者单独的一辆超重型坦克，用于强行通过大型阻塞点和城市交叉点，它们碾碎抵抗据点，与敌军装甲部队交战，同时荷鲁斯之子军团的步兵们会反击任何试图从侧翼包抄战争引擎并让热熔武器发挥作用的敌人。
