The Siege Regiments
攻城团
These regiments are organised and formed to engage in attritional trench warfare. In the siege regiments，each Death Korps soldier is an element of the greater whole - a pebble that goes to make up an avalanche that crushes the enemy in grinding waves of men willing to die to achieve their objectives. The guardsman himself is the primary weapon: each able to maintain discipline and act in accordance with orders regardless of the odds, casualties taken or the travail of the battlefield itself. The fundamental doctrine of the siege regiment is to push forward at all costs, to take the fight to the enerny and to kill until no enemy remains. Armour. heavy weaponry and field artillery such as mortars are extensively deployed in supporting roles.Reliance on relatively light transport vehicles is seen as a liability, particularly when engaging prepared positions where large quantities of heavy weapons are present. As a result, the usually commonplace Chimera is largely abandoned in favour of the much heavier and more durable Gorgon armoured assault transport where needed for direct breaching attacks, and the lighter Centaur for rapid deployment of mobile artillery and grenadier forces. Armour and tanks utilised by the Death Korps will normally be heavily modified to better cope with extreme hazardous terrain and prolonged exposure to environmental damage. As a constant press of force is paramount to the all-out attacking style favoured by the siege regiments, man-portable heavy weapons whose deployment can stagger the pace of advance, are usually concentrated in separate detachments to avoid this difficulty. The firepower of these heavy weapon squads can then be focused to support the infantry and protect the flanks of an assault force, as well as quickly deploy to defend or fortify vital trench positions against counter-attacks. The chain of command within the siege regiments follows the standard Imperial Guard pattern with recognisable platoon and company structures of junior and senior officers. etc, although they strongly emphasize large masses of infantry over and above most regular Imperial Guard formations. Where several siege regiments are grouped together for the same front, they form a line korps, with several line korps forming an army. Regiments may also serve in assault korps. with an additional concentration of tanks and Gorgon transports used to add weight to an offensive and to exploit breakthroughs.
帝国会组建克里格攻城团去参与消耗性的堑壕战。在攻城团中，每个克里格死亡士兵都是某个更大整体的一分子。大量愿意用自己的死亡去实现目标的士兵集中起来，汇聚成一股碾碎敌人的人海岩流，而每名克里格士兵都是其中的一粒石子。这些士兵本身就是主要的武器：每名克里格士兵都能在无视困境、伤亡和战场艰苦环境的情况下保持纪律、遵守命令。攻城团的基本信条就是不惜一切代价进行推进，与敌人交战，直到将对方全歼。装甲载具、重武器和诸如迫击炮之类的战场火炮会作为支援单位被广泛部署。对于相对轻型载具的依赖被克里格军团视为负担，尤其是在进攻那些拥有大量重武器、做好备战工作的据点时。结果就是：在需要直接发动攻城战的战场上，克里格军团在很大程度上放弃使用常见的奇美拉运兵车，他们偏好远为重型和坚固耐用的戈耳工装甲突击运兵车，并使用半人马运输车快速部署移动火炮和掷弹兵部队。死亡军团使用的装甲载具和坦克通常都会经过大幅度改造以更好地适应极其危险的地形，并抵御长期暴露在（有害）环境中所遭受的损坏。由于持续的部队（进攻）压力对攻城团所偏好的全军突击进攻风格至关重要，阻碍部队前进步伐的人力携带式重武器通常会被集中到独立的分队中以避免麻烦。这些重武器小队的火力可以被集中起来用于支援步兵或掩护攻击部队的侧翼，也可以快速部署以防御或加固关键的战壕据点，以防范敌军的反击。攻城团内部的指挥链遵循了标准的星界军组织结构模式，有着可辩识的连队和战斗排的结构，分别由高级和低价军官指挥，等等。不过克里格攻城团也有极为明显的特征:步兵数量庞大，超过了大多数常规的星界军编队。当数个攻城团在相同的前线集结起来时，他们会组成一支线列兵团，数个线列兵团则会组成一个军。攻城团可能也会被用作进攻兵团，坦克和戈尔贡突击运兵车会被额外集中到进攻兵团中以增加进攻力度和打开突破口。
The best strategic use of a siege regiment is a simple and unsubtle battering ram of manpower. In action these attacking columns consist of massed soldiery, spear-tipped by armoured grenadiers. Thousands of Death Korps troops in human waves. advancing first in dispersed formation. closing ranks as they near with the enemy line to unleash disciplined volleys of las-fire before storming trenches and defended sections. The sight alone of the seemingly numberless. ordered and sinister ranks of the Death Korps advancing. faceless in their rebreathers over no-man's land, or seemingly materialising from nowhere out of a smoke barrage has put more than one defender to flight before a shot has been fired.
攻城团最好的战略用法就是靠着人力发动简单粗暴的重击。在行动中，这些进攻阵列包括大量的普通士兵和装甲掷弹兵组成的矛头。数以千计的克里格死亡军团部队如潮水般进发，他们首先以分散的编队冲锋，随着接近敌军防线，他们就会组成整体，在冲向敌方战壕和防御区之前以整齐的光枪齐射痛击敌人。此刻的场景，是看似无数的秩序井然且勇猛致命的克里格部队佩戴着循环呼吸器在无人区中发动冲锋，或者是克里格们突然从烟幕中冲出，在对方开火之前便将敌方守军全部击杀。
Death Korps Officers
死亡军团军官
Krieg regiments operate the recognisable command structure laid down by the Department Munitorum, with some minor local variation in insignia and designation. one example being that infantry sergeants are known by the title Watchmaster. whilst sergeants of the Death Rider companies are known as Ridemasters. Death Korps officers right up to the level of regimental command typically lead and fight from the front - this is not so much a conscious decision as a simple expression of the Death Korps mentality, as every guardsman expects to fight and die for his Emperor. To this end, officers commonly equip themselves for the front line with grenades, powerful sidearms and either a chainsword or power sword. Command squads wear their squad insignia (a C for command) on their right shoulder. Officer's helmets bear an ornate Imperial Eagle.
克里格团根据军务部所制定的组织结构进行运作，但在徽章和名称上也有一些细微的局部差异，例如步兵军士被称为守望主管，死亡骑兵的军士被称为骑军主管。团部指挥级别的死亡军团军官们通常会在前线指挥和作战，这与其说是一个深思熟虑的决定，倒不如说是死亡军团思想心态的一种简单表达——每位士兵都期望为帝皇而奋战和牺牲。所以，克里格军官们通常会根据前线作战的要求装备手雷、强力的近防武器以及一柄链锯剑或动力剑。指挥小队会在右肩上佩戴小队徽章（一个表示指挥职能的字母“C”）。军官的头盔上会佩戴一个华丽的帝国鹰徽。
Unlike many other regiments that draw on a long-standing militarised culture (such as the Mordians or Jantines for example). Krieg itself has no standing aristocracy or hereditary officer class. Instead its officers are drawn from the body of the rank and file. This means that the majority of the officer cadre has been promoted through the ranks thanks to a mixture of ability. seniority and often. by dint of simple survival. As veterans of the Death Korps' way of war, they coldly regard causalities with no more concern than another commander might view a tally of expended ammunition stores. and their attitudes toward warfare are almost mechanical in nature. This has in the past led to morale problems (and very rarely even outright mutiny) where senior Krieg officers have been placed in charge of other non-Krieg regiments in a wider theatre of war. It is also a noticeable feature of Krieg officer battledress that Krieg regiments do not issue medals or decorations. To Krieg soldiers such rewards are insignificant, bravery is expected and commonplace. Individual guardsmen do not matter, and as such are not recognised with special rewards.
不同于其他那些征召自有长期军事文化世界（比如莫迪亚和范庭）的星界军团，克里格团本身并无常设的贵族或世袭军官阶级。相反，克里格军官们发于行伍之间。这也就意味着大部分克里格军官都是在能力、资历甚至仅仅是（因为）幸存等综合因素的影响下被拔擢起来的。作为深谙死亡军团战争之道的老兵，他们对于伤亡（状况）态度冷淡，他们查看伤亡状况时的态度，就和其他星界军团的指挥官查看弹药储备消耗状况时的一样，他们对于战争的态度也是天生的冷酷麻木、精于计算。但是当克里格高级军官指挥其他非克里格部队去对抗更为严重的战争威胁时，他们的这种作风在过去就会导致士气问题（在极其罕见的情况下甚至会引发彻底的兵变）。克里格军官的作战服也有一个很显著的特征：不佩戴勋章和装饰物。对克里格士兵而言，此类奖品微不足道，勇敢作战自是本分和常态。单个的星界军士兵是无关紧要的，因此（他们）也不会得到特殊奖励。
Death Korps Commissars
死亡军团政委
As might be expected. Commissars are present in Death Korps regiments as mandated by Department Munitorum regulations, being the only non-Krieg natives to serve. Owing to the relatively low rates of infraction and morale problems among Death Korps regiments they more often find themselves employed in reining in any excessive 'zeal' on the part of the troops, and act as tactical advisors rather than enforcers of discipline. Indeed a Cornmissar is often well placed to become a voice of restraint for Death Korps officers, reinforcing the wider strategic goals of the war-zone over short-term victories through expenditure of men and material that might be needed later. Further, in theatres of war where Death Korps regiments must fight alongside other Imperial formations, the Commissars attached to Death Korps staff also find It prudent to act as the liaison between regimental commands where needed. as well as keeping a sharp eye that any acrimony between the Death Korps and other Imperial Guardsmen deployed to the same areas does not become a problem. In order to prevent potential difficulties arising. the individual Commissars assigned by the Commissariat to Death Korps regiments have a tendency to be more politically minded than most ,and often go on to serve with other troublesome regiments such as feral worlders or forces raised on Ecclesiarchy worlds where fanaticism runs high.
就像人们可能预料的那样，克里格团也被按照军务部法令配置了政委，而且这一职务仅能由非克里格裔的自然人承担。由于克里格团中的违纪和士气问题（发生）频率相对较低，政委们经常发现自己更多得是在负责控制部队那过度的“狂热”，他们通常充当战术顾问而非军纪执行者。事实上一名政委通常很适合成为提醒克里格军官要克制的角色，强调战区长远的战略目标比消耗士兵和资源取得的短期胜利更重要——之后的战斗会需要这些人力物力。另外，在死亡军团必须与其他帝国部队携手抗敌的战场上，配属到死亡军团的政委们发现在需要时充当团指挥部之间的联络人是明智之举。他们也要仔细监视死亡军团和其他被部署到相同地区的星界军之间的摩擦升级为冲突。为了避免出现潜在的困难，政战庭指派给死亡军团的政委们都比大部分同僚们更具政治头脑，他们通常也会继续去其他比较麻烦的星界军团服役，比如在宗教狂热高涨的国教世界上招募的由蛮人组成的部队。
The Death Korps Guardsman
死亡军团士兵
Each Death Korps soldier is fully trained to the standards expected for combat-readiness set down by the Department Munitorum. Particular emphasis is placed on hazardous-environment survival and endurance. and physical and mental resilience. Each Death Korps solider is also proficient in the use of all basic Imperial Guard weaponry types, the use of grenades and explosives and the rapid and skilled construction of trench works and defences. Their hand-to-hand training is also exemplary, bayonet-drill being practiced from childhood. Accuracy (while obviously desirable) is secondery in Death Korps weapons training to fire discipline: with the ability to maintain continuous fire en masse as part of an infantry formation considered to be of paramount importance.
每个克里格士兵都完全被训练到了军务部制定的备战标准，他们尤其被强化了在危险艰苦环境中的生存力和耐受力，以及生理和精神耐性。每名克里格士兵都精通所有基本星界军武器类型的用法，他们也精通对于手榴弹与爆炸物的使用，擅长快速熟练地建造战壕和防御工事。他们的徒手搏击训练也堪称典范，刺刀拼刺都是从儿童时期开始操练。在死亡军团的武器训练中，准确性(虽然也是明显可取的)仅次于射击纪律：作为步兵编队的一部分，保持连续火力的能力被认为是至关重要的。
The character of the Death Korps guardsrman is also of note: they have a tendency to be highly insular, unemotional and often taciturn to the Point of silence outside of their duties. They have a well earned reputation as grim and dour soldiers. The average Krieg soldier will also display a high degree of fatalism and an unusual morbidity of habit. Death Korps guardsmen are known to carry relics. ossuaries of bone or other memento-mori about their persons as a form of religious observance to honour the fallen. Unfortunately this psychology serves to foster isolationism (such as the fact they rarely remove their re-breather masks even when not in battle). often having the effect of generating suspicion and ill repute with other Imperial Guard regirnents. The advantages of the character of a Death Korps soldier to higher command are obvious: each is highly disciplined. self-sufficient. morally reliable and more than willing to die in the service to the Emperor. It must be noted however that their unusual will to endure hardships can have the result that unless expressly ordered to do so.Death Korps units will fight on against overwhelming odds until lost, even where a tactically expedient withdrawal would be wiser.
克里格士兵的性格同样值得注意：他们有一种极度孤立保守、冷漠的倾向，在不执行任务时通常是沉默寡言的。他们已经获得了冷酷阴沉的名声。普通克里格士兵也会表现出高度的宿命论和不寻常的病态习惯。死亡军团士兵们会携带遗物、藏骨匣和其他关于自己人的纪念品，他们以此作为一种纪念死者的宗教仪式，也因此而著称。但不幸的是，这种心态助长了他们的孤立（例如，事实上，哪怕在不作战的时候他们也极少摘下死去兄弟的面具），这通常会招致其他星界军团的怀疑与恶评。这种性格的优点在高层指挥官中是明显的：每个人都是遵守纪律、具有自我牺牲精神、品质可靠而且甘愿为帝皇战死。但我们也必须指出，除非有明确的命令，否则他们忍受苦难的不寻常意志可能产生这样的结果：克里格死亡军团会在压倒性的逆境中继续作战直到失败，即便在这种情况下进行战术撤退是更为明智的选择。
The Quartermaster
军需主管
One of the most unusual features of the Death Korps regiments is the replacement of battlefield medics found in most Imperial Guard regiments with the individuals known as Quartermasters. The Quartermaster's role has its roots in Kneg's own war-torn Past. In that merciless war the recovery of the arms and wargear of the fallen was of premium importance. and field medicine and battlefield triage was a luxury that could be seldom afforded for the more seriously wounded (and often a torn environment seal meant slow lingering death in any case). So it was that in Krieg's war a soldier that could not be readily brought back to the fray or at least retreat under his own power was considered a liability and to such unfortunates the 'blessings of the Emperor's peace' was given — an honourable field execution. This onerous task. along with the recovery and redistribution of the fallen soldier's' equipment was the responsibility of the Quartermaster cadre and remains so to the present day.
死亡军团最不寻常的特点之一就是用军需主管替换了大多数星界军团中的战地医官，这一职务起源于克里格世界被战争撕裂的往昔。在这场无情的战争中，回收死者的武器和甲胄是极其重要的工作，战场医疗和战地诊治成了从未提供给过重伤员的奢侈品（而且无论如何，护甲的环境密封隔离层被撕破通常就意味着缓慢的死亡）。所以在克里格内战中，一名不能轻易返回战场或者至少不能凭自己的力量撤退的士兵会被视为一个负担，这些不幸者会被给予“帝皇平和之赐福”——光荣的战场处决。执行这项繁重工作并且回收与再分配阵亡士兵的装备就是军需主管们的任务，这一情况延续至今。
Quartermasters are chosen from the ranks of the Death Corps by selection during training, for particular faith and mental aptitude and occasionally from individuals that have survived against the odds. Quartermasters are given additional training in field medicine. basic tech-lore. and extensive indoctrination into Krieg's denomination of the Imperial Cult. In the modern Death Korps. in addition to the ministration of emergency treatment to injured guardsmen and the redistribution of arms, the Quartermasters also assist in evaluating the progress of ongoing battles and relay this data to their officers and command. They perform this function by monitoring ammunition expenditure. rates of attrition. counting enemy guns and so forth. Above all they still retain the function in the deliverance of final rites on the battlefield to Death Korps soldiers they judge too badly wounded to continue,and it is the generally held belief that the skull mask representing Krieg's struggle is the last sight a dying trooper should see.
军需主管是在训练阶段从死亡军团部队中挑选出的，理由是他们有特殊的信仰和精神资质，并且偶尔在逆境中幸存下来。军需主管们要额外接受战地医疗训练、基本的技术知识培训并要被广泛灌输克里格的帝国国教教义。在现代的死亡军团中，除了对受伤的士兵进行急救治疗和重新分配武器，军需主管们还要协助评估正在进行的战争的进程，并将这些数据传递给军官和指挥部。他们通过监视武器弹药消耗量和损耗率、计算敌人的枪炮数量等手段来执行这项任务。除此之外，他们仍然要负责对那些受伤过重以至于无法继续作战的死亡军团士兵执行最终的救赎仪式，人们普遍相信垂死的克里格士兵最后能看到的事物就是代表克里格内战的骷髅头盔。
Off the battlefield a Quartermaster's task is never complete. as he moves through the detritus of battle salvaging any equipment he can, from lasguns and ammunition to great coats. boots and rebreather units. all can be recycled for use by new recruits.
战场之外，军需主管的任务仍在继续。他要穿梭在战场废墟中回收任何能找到的装备，从光枪和弹药到大衣、军靴和循环呼吸器，所有装备都有回收供新兵使用。
Death Riders
死亡骑兵
One of the most justly famous of the unique formations found within the Krieg forces are the Death Riders. Although superficially similar to rough rider cavalry units found among numerous other Imperial Guard regiments from worlds where riding mounts are commonplace, the Death Riders of Krieg are also a direct result of Krieg's centuries-long civil war. Their most singular aspect is the nature of the Death Rider mounts - the legendary Krieg steed. A highly adapted form of the original Terran horse. this animal is now the product of extreme genetic engineering:tailored for strength, endurance and aggression, with numerous additional bio-sculpted organs that allow them to survive on the most polluted and toxic battlefields unscathed. Vat-grown on Krieg under the auspices of the Adeptus Mechanicus. the animals are further augmented with sub-dermal organic armour, osmotic lungs. and a fully integrated drug injection system rigged with a potent mixture of stimulants, pain-blockers and palliatives.
克里格部队中最为著名的独特编队之一就是死亡骑兵。尽管死亡骑兵在表面上类似于其他许多星界军团（在这些团的母星，骑乘驮兽是常见现象）中的装甲骑兵部队，但他们也是克里格长达数个世纪内战的直接产物。他们最为突出的方面就是死亡骑兵战马的本质——这些传奇的克里格战马是泰拉原生马匹经过高度改造后产生的物种，它们现在是非凡的基因工程的造物，被专门改造（强化）了力量、耐力和攻击性，体内植入的诸多生化塑造器官允许它们毫发无损地存活在污染最严重、毒性最强的战场上。在机械修会的支持下，克里格世界上的生化培养缸培育出这些动物，它们之后会被改造植入皮下生物装甲、渗透肺脏和一套完全集成的药物注射系统，其中装有兴奋剂、止痛剂和缓冲剂的强效混合物。
The end result is that the Krieg steed is capable of incredible levels of endurance and environmental tolerance. The Krieg steed is also a weapon in its own right with its chemically enhanced aggression centres triggered at the rider's command, and virtually impossible to incapacitate short of massive bodily trauma.
最终结果就是克里格战马拥有水平令人难以置信的耐力和环境耐受性，它们本身也是一件武器，它们的化学增强攻击中心会在骑手的命令下被触发，只有在遭受严重的身体损伤的情况下，它们才可能丧失（攻击）能力。
The Death Riders form a special cadre within the Krieg regiments. and their inductees are chosen not only on the grounds of aptitude but also for independent thought and initiative - many future officers are drawn from the ranks of their survivors.Death Riders are equipped with a variety of sidearms and sabre-blades. in addition to the signature explosive-tipped lance found in other similar units. Death Rider companies are used both for battlefield reconnaissance, replacing the Sentinel's traditional role in the siege regiments, and as shock-troops, using their speed and impact to smash through enemy lines. They are commonly used in the role of reserves held back to break counter-attacks. or press a breakthrough themselves. They have gained their bloodiest reputation among other Imperial Guard regiments for their merciless pursuit of fleeing enemy troops: as it is standard practice for the Krieg infantry to hold a freshly captured position while the Death Riders run down any routed defenders.
死亡骑兵在克里格团内部组成了一个特殊的核心。他们的入选者被选中不仅是因为才能，而且还具备独立思考能力和主动性——很多未来的军官就是从死亡骑兵的幸存者中挑选出来的。死亡骑兵们装备了各种副武器和军刀，而且也额外配备了在其他类似部队中也能找到的标志性爆炸矛头骑枪。死亡骑兵连队既要替代攻城里哨兵的传统角色，执行战场侦查任务，也要充当震击部队，靠着他们的速度和冲击力冲破敌军阵线。他们通常是作为阻止敌方反击后备队，或者自己去打开突破口。他们因为自己对于逃散的敌军部队的无情追捕而在其他星界军团中获得了最为血腥的名声：死亡军团的标准作法就是在步兵们占领新夺取的阵地的同时，死亡骑兵们前去追捕所以溃败的守军。
Death Korps Grenadiers
死亡军团掷弹兵
The Krieg regiments maintain and train a strong and sizable force of grenadiers. forming an elite force within the Death Korps.They are drawn from veterans and survivors of decimated squads and platoons. An officer. Watchmaster or Commissar selects each grenadier for service.
克里格团训练并保有强悍且规模可观的掷弹兵部队，他们构成了克里格团内部的精锐部队。掷弹兵们挑选自老兵和被摧毁的小队与战斗排的幸存者。一位军官、守望主管和政委都可以选择掷弹兵为自己服务。
Principally used by Death Korps regiments in a heavy infantry role to form the leading edge of assault waves and smash key enemy defence points during a wider attack, many grenadiers consider themselves already martyred in the Emperor's service and will not falter in their onslaught, regardless of the odds ranged against them. Intended for deployment where the fighting is fiercest, Death Korps grenadiers are equipped with heavy carapace armour integrated into the standard Krieg wargear and are armed with turbo-discharge Hellguns, linked to a high capacity power cell worn on the back. They also carry numerous anti-personal and anti-tank grenades as standard. Breaking with conventional Storm Trooper training, they are never deployed by gray-chute, and instead often carry the brunt of an initial advance on foot, or as small tactical units in rapid moving Centaur carriers. Where this is the case, as well as a high proportion of special arms (such as flamers and melta-guns. etc) they will also employ relatively unorthodox weapons such as heavy flamers in two-man teams or the squad may carry an additional heavy stubber to increase their firepower. Fatality rates among the Death Korps grenadiers are very high. but it is considered an honour to be chosen to join their ranks. Their high standards of training and equipment coupled with their mental resilience ranks the Death Korps grenadiers among the most proficient soldiers the Imperial Guard has to offer.
死亡军团主要将掷弹兵用作形成进攻波潮前锋和在大规模进攻中突破敌军关键防御点的重步兵单位。许多掷弹兵认为自己已经在为帝皇服务中殉难，他们不会在猛攻中退缩，无视自己所面对的绝境。由于要被部署到战况最激烈的区域，他们装备了被整合了克里格标准装备的重型甲壳甲和涡轮增压的地狱枪，武器连接上了他们背在后背上的大容量能量匣。他们也会携带大量反步兵和反坦克手榴弹。他们打破了传统的风暴兵训练（方式），并非通过灰色的降落伞（从炮艇上跳伞）来进行部署；相反，在最初的前进中他们通常以步行为主，或者作为小型战术单位乘坐半人马运输车快速移动。在这种情况下，他们携带的特殊武器（比如火焰喷射器和热熔枪，等等）的比例也会较高。他们也会使用相对非传统的武器来增强火力，比如两人小队使用的重型火焰喷射器或小队可能额外携带的重型伐木枪。掷弹兵的阵亡率很高，但克里格士兵认为被选入掷弹兵部队是一种荣耀。他们高标准的训练和装备配上精神适应力，让克里格掷弹兵位列星界军能提供的最为训练有素的士兵之中。
