恐翼是大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间被称为星际战士黑暗天使军团之翼的六个专业编队之一。

Overview 概述
Perhaps the most feared of all the branches of the Hexagrammaton, garnering a reputation that far outweighed the Wing's influence within the Legion, the Dreadwing was composed of those whose role was the utter annihilation of the enemy, the salting of the earth, and breaking of worlds. When called out from the ranks, the initiates of the Dreadwing were experts in the brutal tactics of massacre, purge, and the deployment of Exterminatus class weaponry, though many also specialised in the use of terror as a weapon. It was an evolution of the Host of Bone, its brutal tactics refined and temperamental nature dulled by the influx of Calibanite recruits, though it retained many of the Skandic ceremonies and titles that had marked its origins. Its initiates were, however, far from dim brutes, for the Dreadwing saw to the duty of caretaking some of the most dangerous technologies that existed anywhere within the Imperium. Its ranks included not only the vast majority of the Legion's Destroyers, Interemptors and Moritat cohorts but also a large number of Techmarines, forge adepts and no few Apothecaries, those considered among the least orthodox of their kind and often of morbid disposition. In the sealed vaults of the Dreadwing rested the least stable of the Dreadnoughts maintained by the Legion, those whose minds were trapped within the horrors of wars long since ended, as well as artificial warriors of a more fearsome nature. In the years after the initial outbreak of the Horus Heresy, as attrition and despair cut at the prohibitions of the Great Crusade, it would also play host to those warriors given dispensation by their Primarch to resume use of their psychic powers. For the Lion would not see his Legion plunged into the greatest war in recorded history barred the use of one of its most powerful weapons. To choose between victory or the sanctity of the dictats of Nikaea was no choice at all, for the Lion would always choose victory, no matter the cost to be paid in the aftermath. The Dreadwing also operated Terminator units known as the Naufragia. Its leader was known as the Dreadbringer.
恐翼可能是六翼所有分支中最令人恐惧的，其名声远远超过了翼在军团中的影响力，恐翼由那些以彻底歼灭敌人、摧毁土地和毁灭世界为职责的人组成。当从队伍中被挑选出来时，恐翼的成员是大屠杀、清洗和部署灭绝武器等残酷战术的专家，尽管许多人也专门将恐怖作为武器使用。它是骸骨天军的演变，其残酷战术因卡利班新兵的涌入而得到改进，脾气也有所缓和，尽管它保留了许多标志其起源的斯凯蒂奇仪式和头衔。然而，恐翼的新成员绝非愚蠢的野兽，因为恐翼负责保管帝国境内一些最危险的技术。其队伍不仅包括军团中的绝大多数毁灭者、屠灭者和暗杀精英部队，还包括大量技术军士、铸造大师和不少药剂师，这些人被认为是同类中最不正统的，且往往性格乖僻。在恐翼的密封秘库中，存放着军团维护的最不稳定的无畏机甲，它们的思维被困在早已结束的战争的恐怖之中，还有更可怕的人造战士。在荷鲁斯叛乱最初爆发后的几年里，随着消耗和绝望削弱了大远征的禁令，它还接纳了那些得到他们的基因原体特许、恢复使用灵能的战士。因为狮子不会让他的军团在这场有记录以来最伟大的战争中，被禁止使用其最强大的武器之一。在胜利和尼凯亚法令的神圣性之间做出选择根本就不是选择，因为狮子总是会选择胜利。无论事后付出什么代价。恐翼还运营着被称为纳夫拉基亚的终结者部队。它的领导人被称为恐怖使者。
The Dreadwing also utilized mass armored assaults of Land Raiders, Spartan Assault Carriers, Mastodons, Whirlwinds, Vindicators, Arquitor Bombards and Fellglaives with advanced Warp weaponry. They employed weapons of mass destruction such as Phosphex, man-portable Atomics, Singularity Drivers, Gene targeted Bio-weaponry, Psionic Phages and Vortex Weapons. The advanced weaponry of the Dreadwing was designed by the Emperor's own armorers. The Dreadwing also made use of Castellax Battle-Automata known as the Black-Watch. During the Great Crusade, the Wing was home to the majority of the Legion’s Librarius, and as the Horus Heresy ground on, Lion El'Jonson also allowed the Dreadwing to utilize Marines with psychic abilities in defiance of the Council of Nikaea.
恐翼还利用了由兰德掠袭者、斯巴达突击运兵车、乳齿象、旋风、维护者、曲射手臼炮和残暴刃组成的大规模装甲突击部队，并配备了先进的亚空间武器。他们使用了诸如磷化武器、便携式原子弹、奇点驱动器、基因靶向生物武器、幽体吞噬者和涡旋武器等大规模杀伤性武器。恐翼的先进武器是由帝皇自己的军械士设计的。恐翼还使用了被称为黑卫的堡星自动机兵。在大远征期间，该翼是军团中大多数智库的所在地，随着荷鲁斯叛乱的持续进行，莱昂·艾尔庄森也允许恐翼使用具有灵能能力的星际战士，无视尼凯亚会议的决定。
The Dreadwing were known to store their terrible arsenal within chambers such as The Dreadwing Sacristy
众所周知，恐翼会将他们可怕的武器存放在恐翼圣器室等房间里
