A Devastator's reach shall be without limit and his touch without mercy. Fire shall roar from his fingertips, but it shall consume him not. Thunder will roar when he calls, yet it will swallow him not.
Let the Devastator squad be thy blazing wrath, bringing the light of the Emperor's justice to the darkest corners of the battlefield. Wherever he stands, that shall be his fortress of righteousness. He shall hold in his gift the fate of all who pass before his unblinking gaze. All shall fear him, and he shall fear no one. Roboute Guilliman, quoted in the Apocrypha of Skaros.
毁灭者的影响无限，他的触碰毫不留情。火焰从他的指尖咆哮而出，但不会将他吞噬。当他高呼时雷声轰鸣，但不会将他吞没。
让毁灭者小队成为炽热的愤怒，将帝皇的正义之光带到战场最黑暗的角落。无论他站在哪里，那里都将是他正义的堡垒。他将掌握所有在他坚定注视下经过之人的命运。
所有人都将畏惧他，而他无所畏惧。
罗伯特·基里曼，引自斯卡罗斯经书
Devastator Squads are specialised Firstborn Space Marine squads tasked with long-range fire support, entrusted with the Chapter’s rarest heavy weaponry. In a typical Codex Chapter, two Devastator Squads are assigned to each of the four Battle Companies, while the entirety of the 9th Reserve Company is composed of Devastators.
毁灭者小队是专业的长子星际战士小队，负责远程火力支援，并负责本战团最稀有的重型武器。在典型的圣典战团中，四个战斗连各有两个毁灭者小队，而整个第九预备连由毁灭者组成。

Training and Deployment 培训和部署
Most Devastator Squads are composed of Space Marines who have recently been promoted from Scout Squads. Though veterans of dozens, even hundreds, of campaigns, service in a Devastator Squad will be their first experience in power armour as part of the main Space Marine army.Those newly-appointed to a Squad, armed only with basic gear, are given the primary duty of providing close support and calling out targets for their more experienced battle-brothers. These Space Marines are armed with the squad's four heavy weapons, an honour earned only after the Marine has proven himself steady and dependable in the heat of battle.
大多数毁灭者小队由最近从侦察小队晋升的星际战士组成。尽管他们是经历过数十次，甚至数百次战役的老兵，但在毁灭者小队中服役将是他们作为星际战士主力部队的一员首次穿上动力甲的经历。那些被新任命到小队中、仅配备基本装备的人，被赋予为经验更丰富的战友提供近距离支援以及指出目标的首要职责。这些星际战士配备了该小队的四种重型武器，这是在星际战士在激烈的战斗中证明自己稳定可靠后才获得的荣誉。

The Devastator Squad is made up of between four to nine Devastator Marines and a Space Marine Sergeant. The type and use of these heavy weapons can vary greatly, depending on the mission or nature of the Chapter itself.
毁灭者小队由四至九名毁灭者星际战士和一名星际战士军士组成。这些重型武器的类型和使用可能会有很大差异，这取决于该战团本身的性质或任务。
After completing tours of service in the Devastators, Marines are typically assigned to Assault or Tactical Squads.
在完成毁灭者的服役后，星际战士通常被分配到突击小队或战术小队。
Chapter Variants 战团变体
The Dark Angels' combat doctrines favour the usage of devastating amounts of firepower over furious close combat assaults.
黑暗天使的战斗理论倾向于使用毁灭性的火力，而不是激烈的近战攻击。
Within the Space Wolves Chapter, Devastator Squads are known as Long Fangs. Unlike their counterparts in the Codex Chapters, the Long Fangs are the most experienced of the Chapter's warriors, having completed lengthy tours of duty as Blood Claws and then Grey Hunters.
在太空野狼战团中，毁灭者小队被称为长牙。与圣典战团中的同行不同，长牙是该战团中经验最丰富的战士，他们完成了漫长的血爪和灰猎之旅。
Likewise, the Blood Angels chapter assigns only older and more experienced Marines to the Devastator Squads (mostly after they have worked out their aggression amid the ranks of the Assault Squads), since most Blood Angels have a marked preference for close quarters battle.
同样，圣血天使战团只将年龄较大、经验丰富的星际战士分配给毁灭者小队（主要是在他们在突击小队中锻炼出侵略性之后），因为大多数圣血天使都明显更喜欢近距离战斗。
Equipment 装备
In addition to their power armour, Devastator Marines are armed with bolt pistols, boltguns, frag and krak grenades. The Sergeant also carries a Signum and may be equipped with melta bombs as well. The Sergeant can also replace his boltgun and/or pistol for a chainsword, combi weapon, plasma pistol, Grav-pistol, power weapon, and power fist. For transportation the Squad can be carried into battle in a Drop Pod, Rhino or Razorback.
除了他们的动力盔甲，毁灭者星际战士还装备了爆矢手枪、爆矢枪、破片和穿甲手榴弹。军士还携带目标指示器，并可能配备热熔炸弹。军士还可以用链锯剑、复合武器、等离子手枪、重力手枪、动力武器和动力拳代替他的爆矢枪和/或手枪。为了运输，该小队可以用空降仓、犀牛或豪猪进行战斗。
Devastator Squad 毁灭者小队
Four of the Devastators replace their boltguns for any combination of the following:
四个毁灭者将其爆矢枪替换为以下任意组合：
Grav-Cannon 重力炮
Heavy Bolter 重型爆矢枪
Lascannon 激光炮
Missile Launcher 导弹发射器
Multi-melta 多管热熔
Plasma Cannon 等离子炮
