Overview 概述
On the eve of battle, the Blood Angels pray and remember the sacrifice of their Primarch Sanguinius while the Chaplains bless and study each battle-brother for signs of the Black Rage. Those who collapse into the Chaplains' arms during the chanting of the moripatris are taken away to form the Death Company. Their Power Armour is repainted black with a blood red saltire symbolizing the wounds of Sanguinius and hung with devotional scrolls and records of honours earned before the madness took them. From this point on, these battle-brothers are considered dead men walking. It is known that before the battle members of the Death Company gain access to the Chapter armoury so they may fight their last fighting with a weapon of their choice.Captains who fall to the Black Rage, are granted the use of relic weapons and violently slaughter their foes as they seek death in battle.
在战斗前夕，圣血天使们祈祷并记住他们的原体圣吉列斯的牺牲，而牧师们则祝福并研究每个战斗兄弟的黑怒迹象。那些在末日弥撒祷告期间瘫倒在牧师怀里的人被带走，组成死亡连。他们的动力盔甲被重新漆成黑色，上面有血红色的X形十字，象征着圣吉列斯的伤口，上面挂着虔诚的卷轴和疯狂夺走他们之前获得的荣誉记录。从这一点上讲，这些战斗兄弟被认为是行走的死人。众所周知，在战斗之前，死亡连的成员可以进入战团军械库，这样他们就可以用自己选择的武器进行最后的战斗。陷入黑怒的连长被授予使用圣物武器的权利，并在战斗中寻求死亡时暴力屠杀敌人。

Consumed by the Black Rage, the Death Company fights without fear, heedless of the quality of their opposition or the wounds they suffer. Under the watchful eye of their Death Company Chaplains,or particularly strong-willed scions of Sanguinius,the Death Company fights terrible odds to claim one last honour for the Chapter.They are known to fight even more ferociously under the command of the Blood Angels' High Chaplain Astorath and the Chaplain Lemartes. While the High Chaplain fights besides them to ensure they meet a deserved glorious end, the Chaplain provides the Death Company with inspirational leadership and direction.Many of the Blood Angels' finest victories have come after the Death Company devastated the enemy forces.These include the battles they fought on Truatas, Antax, Hollonan, Armageddon,and Venerax.The Death Company's fearsome reputation has even spread to worlds that have not seen the Blood Angels in battle.However, it is not unheard of for entire strike forces to fall into the Black Rage. These terrible moments become marks of shame in the Blood Angels and Sanguinary Brotherhood's history, with names such Nycoth, the Scadden Atrocity, the War of Broken Wings, the Stenarr Massacre and the Battle of Lenikhe Reach bringing about mournful silence.
被黑怒吞噬，死亡连无所畏惧地战斗，无视他们的对抗或他们所受的伤害。在他们的死亡连牧师或意志特别坚强的圣吉列斯后裔的监视下，死亡连奋力拼搏，为战团争取最后一个荣誉。众所周知，在圣血天使的至高牧师阿斯托拉斯和牧师雷玛斯特的指挥下，他们的战斗更加激烈。当至高牧师与他们并肩作战，确保他们获得应得的光荣结局时，牧师为死亡连提供了鼓舞人心的领导和指导。许多圣血天使最辉煌的胜利都是在死亡连摧毁敌军之后取得的。这些包括他们在特鲁塔斯、安塔克斯、霍洛南、阿米吉多顿和维尼拉克斯进行的战斗。死亡连可怕的名声甚至蔓延到了没有见过圣血天使战斗的世界。然而，整个打击部队陷入黑怒并非闻所未闻。这些可怕的时刻成为圣血天使和圣血兄弟会历史上的耻辱标志，尼科斯、斯卡登暴行、断翼战争、斯滕纳尔大屠杀和莱尼赫河段战役等名字带来了悲伤的沉默。
Those few members of the Death Company who survive an engagement usually perish shortly after, either from their wounds or by the hand of the Redeemer of the Lost. The members of the Blood Angels' Death Company that escape those fates are sealed within the Tower of Amareo on Baal, where their madden screams ring out of. Since the Red Thirst inevitably follows the Black Rage, the Blood Angels consider death better than turning into a mindless flesh-hungry beast. However there are some who undergo the Lestrallio Procedure instead and are encouraged to describe the visions the Black Rage is afflicting them with. Named after the Chaplain Lestrallio, who pioneered the process and later underwent it himself, the Procedure sees the Death Company members shackled in adamantine, as their rantings are carefully recorded, analyzed and compared with others. The Blood Angels have learned invaluable data of how the Black Rage afflicts them through the use of the Procedure, but it always ends in death for the Death Company member. They inevitably die after their bodies begin suffering body-shattering spasms.
在交战后幸存下来的死亡连的少数成员通常会在不久后死亡，要么是因为受伤，要么是被迷失救赎者亲手杀死。逃离这些命运的圣血天使死亡连的成员被密封在巴尔的悲怆之塔内，在那里他们疯狂的尖叫声响起。由于血渴不可避免地伴随着黑怒，圣血天使认为死亡比变成一只无脑的食肉野兽要好。然而，也有一些人接受了雷斯塔里欧的手术，并被鼓励描述黑怒正在折磨他们的幻象。该程序以开创这一过程并后来亲自经历这一过程的牧师雷斯塔里欧命名，死亡连成员被戴上精金镣铐，他们的咆哮被仔细记录、分析并与其他人进行比较。圣血天使们通过使用该程序了解了黑怒如何折磨他们的宝贵数据，但死亡连成员总是以死亡告终。他们不可避免地会在身体开始出现剧烈痉挛后死亡。

Initially, it was thought that the new Primaris Space Marines were more resistant to the Black Rage. However this is not the case, and multiple Primaris Marines have now succumb. They too have been put into the Death Company, organized into Intercessor Squads.
最初，人们认为新的原铸星际战士对黑怒的抵抗力更强。然而，事实并非如此，多个原铸星际战士现在已经屈服。他们也被编入死亡连，组织成仲裁者小队。

Origins 起源
The advent of the Black Rage is associated with the end of the Horus Heresy, caused by the psychic shock felt by every Blood Angel when Sanguinius died at the hands of Horus. Prior to then, the Red Thirst was a rare but dreaded phenomenon, known only to Sanguinius and some members of his inner circle, including First Captain Raldoron, Sanguinary Guard Commander Azkaellon, High Warden Dahka Berus, and the Legion's Master Apothecary on Baal. On the rare occasions when a Battle Brother was lost to the Thirst, his armour's company markings were blotted out by black paint, and his gene-seed was removed for analysis, rather than being returned to the Legion's stores.
黑怒的出现与荷鲁斯叛乱的结束有关，黑怒是由每一位圣血天使在圣吉列斯死于荷鲁斯之手时所感受到的精神冲击引起的。在此之前，血渴是一种罕见但可怕的现象，只有圣吉列斯和他的内环的一些成员知道，包括第一连长拉多隆、圣血卫队指挥官阿兹卡隆、至高守望者达卡·贝鲁斯和巴尔的军团药剂大师。在极少数情况下，当一名战斗兄弟因血渴而丧生时，他的装甲的连队标记会被黑色油漆抹去，他的基因种子会被移除进行分析，而不是被送回军团的仓库。

After Brother Alatros succumbed to the Thirst on Melchior, forcing Sanguinius to execute him, Raldoron applied the paint himself, swore the Apothecary, Meros, who had removed his geneseed, to total secrecy, and remarked to the corpse, "you are in the company of death. I hope you will find peace there."
阿拉托斯兄弟在梅尔基奥尔死于血渴，迫使圣吉列斯处决他后，拉多隆自己涂上了油漆，让已经摘除了他的基因种子的药剂师梅洛斯发誓完全保密，并对尸体说：“你在死亡的陪伴下。我希望你能在那里找到安宁。”

Variants 变体
The Angels Encarmine colour their Death Company in alabaster white with black backpacks.While it has been stated that the Flesh Tearers' Death Company follow the same colour schemes as the Blood Angels', their Death Company have been shown coloured pale grey with red helmets, backpacks and pauldrons.The Lamentors, who for a long time did not suffer from the Black Rage, have been shown painting their Death Company in quartered black and yellow colours.
赤红天使将他们的死亡连涂成雪花石膏白色，并配有黑色背包。虽然有人说撕肉者死亡连遵循与圣血天使相同的配色方案，但他们的死亡连被展示为淡灰色，戴着红色头盔、背包和肩甲。长期以来没有遭受黑怒的恸哭者，被显示用四分之一的黑色和黄色绘制他们的死亡连。
The Angels Numinous are known to have little regard for their Battle Brothers afflicted with the Black Rage, as the Chapter believes that only the weak fall into its embrace. As a result of this, the Angels Numinous refuse to honour their Death Companies as the Blood Angels do, and instead consider them to be nothing but a shameful embarrassment to their pure and noble Chapter. When the Angels Numinous go to battle, the Death Companies are hurled into the fray with no concern for their lives and are simply used as a blunt instrument to break enemy front lines.
众所周知，神圣天使很少关心他们饱受黑怒折磨的战斗兄弟，因为战团认为只有弱者才会落入它的怀抱。因此，神圣天使拒绝像圣血天使那样尊重他们的死亡连，相反，他们认为这些连队只会让他们纯洁而高贵的战团蒙羞。当神圣天使投入战斗时，死亡连被投入战斗，毫不关心他们的生命，只是被用作打破敌人前线的钝器。
Within the Angels Sanguine, the brothers who enter the Black Rage are strapped to the Tablet of Lestrallio, in the Chapter's Fortress Monastery. Those who regain their senses are presented with the Shroud of Lemartes, as a symbol of their mastery of the Black Rage.Those who fall within its grasp are imprisoned within the Tower of the Lost, which is located in the Angels Sanguine's Fortress Monastery.
在血红天使中，进入黑怒的兄弟们被绑在战团的堡垒修道院的雷斯塔里欧之碑上。那些恢复理智的人会收到雷玛斯特护罩，作为他们掌握黑怒的象征。那些落入其控制范围内的人被囚禁在迷失之塔内，该塔位于血红天使的要塞修道院。
