Fire has an undeniable appeal to the greenskin race. The fascination with the ignoble art of setting things ablaze sometimes grows so profound in an Ork that he will find his way into the ranks of the Burna Boyz. 

对于绿皮种族而言,火焰有着无法抗拒的吸引力。某些时候,一名欧克兽人会极其着迷于纵火这种卑劣的艺术,以至于会成为胡烧小子中的一员。

Dedicated arsonists all, Burna Boyz love nothing more than burning other people's stuff, and the owners into the bargain. The dual spectacle of leaping flame and frantically flailing victim is a thing of beauty to a Burna Boy, and they will seize any excuse to set someone on fire. 

胡烧小子是专心致志的纵火者,它们最酷爱的便是将他人的财物连同所有者一起烧毁。对他们而言,跳动着的火焰与疯狂扭动着的受害者是双重的美景,而且他们也会找各种借口将某人点燃。

Burna Boyz are characterised by their welding masks and the long, stripped-down flamethrowers from which they take their name. These `burnas' are able to spray great gouts of oily flame, and are linked to a sloshing tank of volatile promethium slung over the shoulder of the Burna Boy. A Burna Boy is given a wide berth on the field of battle, not only because of his acrid smell, but also because of the chance that a stray bullet will suddenly change him from cackling comrade to crackling conflagration. 

胡烧小子的特征是它们的焊接面具,以及那长而简约的火焰喷射器——它们也是由此而得名。这些“胡烧枪”能够喷射出大量油腻的火焰,而且与吊挂在胡烧小子肩膀上的挥发性钷素搅拌罐相连。在战场上,胡烧小子们会被远远得甩在一边,这不仅是因为他们刺鼻的气味,也是因为一枚流弹就有可能把他们从嘎嘎大笑的战友变为噼啪作响的巨大火球。

No Warboss worth his teef would stand for the constant 'accidents' that accompany a mob of Burna Boyz without significant benefit, and so these pyro-addicts have to learn to adapt their behaviour to better serve Ork society. To this end, their burnas are modified with special nozzles and valves that allow the weapons to force out a fierce blue tongue of fire instead of a cloud of orange flame. This 'cuttin flame' is powerful enough to slice through anything up to a metal bulkhead. 

在没有明显益处的情况下,手中握有存牙的战争老大都忍受不了伴随一群胡烧小子们而不断发生的“事故”,所以这些嗜火成瘾者必须学会调整自己的行为,以更好地服务于兽人社会。所以,他们用特殊的喷嘴和阀门来改装胡烧枪,迫使这种武器喷射出凶猛的蓝色火舌,而非一团橙色火焰云。这种“切割焰”也强悍到足以切穿覆盖在金属隔板外侧的任何东西。

As a result, teams of Burna Boyz are invaluable during salvage operations and the creation of the larger Ork war machines, and will work under a Spanner's supervision for weeks on end to collect scrap for the Mekboy Workshops - just so long as they get plenty of metal to cut through and fungus beer to drink. When they march to war, they are accompanied by the same Spanners, who ensure the Burna Boyz do not get carried away and set light to the other Orks merely so they will 'do the burny dance'.

因此,胡烧小子小队在进行打捞行动和制造大型的欧克兽人战争机器时是非常有用的,他们会在钳工小子的监督下连续工作数周,为技师小子的车间收集废料——只要让他们有足够的金属去切穿、有真菌啤酒喝就行。但他们奔赴战争时,同一批钳工小子们也会随同前往,后者要确保胡烧小子们不会忘乎所以,也不会把其他兽人点燃,“让他丫蹦个火辣的迪”。

As with most Ork tools, the burna proves extremely useful in battle. When used as a flamethrower it is ideal for flushing out enemies hiding in ruined buildings and woods, especially when several Burna Boyz combine their firepower into a searing inferno. Drive-by immolations are equally a danger to those facing Burna Boyz, who delight in hanging off the sides of Trukks and Battlewagons as they race through the enemy lines, the Orks' weapons blanketing opponents with sheets of flames all the while. When facing heavily armoured opponents such as Space Marines, the Burna Boyz simply switch to their cuttin' flames, and use their burnas to slice apart the foe in melee. For this reason Burna Boyz are sometimes known as kan openers, and they prove invaluable upon the front line. 

就像大多数的兽人工具那样,胡烧枪在战场上也被证明是极其有用的。当用作火焰喷射器时,它非常适合把藏在建筑废墟或树木后面的敌人驱赶出来,尤其是当数名胡烧小子将他们的火力组合为一股灼热的地狱之火时。对那些面对着胡烧小子的人们而言,这些绿皮的飞车射击同样危险——当兽人卡车和战车快速穿过敌人的防线时,胡烧小子们喜欢悬挂在载具的两侧,他们会用大片的火焰覆盖对手。当面对诸如星际战士之类配备有厚重装甲的敌人时,胡烧小子们会将武器切换到热切模式,用胡烧枪在混战中切开敌人。出于这个原因,胡烧小子有时候也被称为“开罐者”,它们在前线战场上被证明是无价的。
