Ultramarines Master of the Forge 极限战士铸造之主
Overview 概述
These senior ranking Techmarines are charged with the maintenance of their Chapter's fleet of armoured vehicles and use their arcane knowledge of science that had been refined over centuries that rivals the most senior Techpriests of Mars. All of the Chapter's Techmarines, Servitors, Techno-mats and the slave workers of the Forge are under his command. Skills of the Masters of the Forge are refined to such an extent that they can determine the ailment of a Machine Spirit with a simple glance and recognise the cause of its intemperance from the whisper of its tortured mantra of function. Such a skill tends to make them somewhat of an outcast within the Chapter even though they are members of the Chapter Council. Despite this being the case, they are seen as outsiders to all but their subordinate Techmarines and are shunned in all matters except the mechanical. This isolation tends to further a Master of the Forge path into eccentricity as they are surrounded either by silent machines or witless Servitors. As a result, their own voice becomes atrophied and on the rare occasions when they do speak, they do so with a clipped, monotone, cold tone that is uncomfortably precise in detail as well as delivery.
这些高级技术军士负责维护他们战团的装甲载具，并利用他们几个世纪以来完善的技术的神秘知识，与火星上最高级的技术神甫相媲美。该战团的所有技术军士、奴工、技术材料和铸造厂的奴隶工人都在他的指挥之下。铸造大师的技能被精炼到这样的程度，他们可以用简单的一瞥来确定机魂的疾病，并能从其痛苦的机械之语的低语中识别出其放纵的原因。尽管他们是战团议会的成员，但这种技能往往使他们在战团内有点被抛弃。尽管如此，他们被视为除了下属技术军士之外的所有人的局外人，除了机械之外，在所有事情上都被回避。这种隔离往往会使铸造大师的行动更加古怪，因为他们要么被沉默的机器包围，要么被愚蠢的奴工包围。因此，他们自己的声音变得萎缩，在极少数情况下，当他们说话时，他们会用一种简短、单调、冷酷的语调，在细节和表达上都非常精确。
Whilst this is generally the case, not all Chapters treat the Master of the Forge in this manner as the Mentors, Praetors of Orpheus and Astral Knights embrace the dwindling technology of Mankind without superstition whilst the Iron Hands relish in it. Amongst such Astartes, a Master of the Forge is an honoured individual that is equal to the Chapter Master himself though these are rare cases. In fact, those that follow such practices tend to be viewed with suspicion by their more conventional thinking Battle-Brothers.
虽然情况通常如此，但并非所有战团都以这种方式看待铸造大师，像导师，俄耳甫斯执政官和星界骑士都毫无迷信观念地接受了人类日益减少的技术，而钢铁之手们却对此津津乐道。在这些阿斯塔特中，铸造大师是一个与战团长本人同等的荣誉人物，尽管这种情况很少见。事实上，那些遵循这种做法的人往往会被他们更传统的思维方式的“战斗兄弟”怀疑。
In addition to their responsibilities to the armoury, these weaponsmiths are charged with the responsibility of protecting the many technological relics that fall within the Chapter's care. Among the oldest and more famous Chapters, these can include mechanical wonders that remain sealed within their vaults with most being so complex that no living man is capable of learning their secrets. Others are created from ancient secrets that it requires artisans with a Master's knowledge to be able to use them without harming themselves or others. In times of need, a Master of the Forge is able to take these relics from the vaults in order to unleash the ancient lost technology of Mankind against their foes.
除了对军械库的责任外，这些武器匠还负责保护属于该战团管辖范围内的许多技术遗物。在最古老、最著名的战团中，这些战团可能包括密封在密室中的机械奇迹，其中大多数都非常复杂，没有人能够了解它们的秘密。其他则是根据古老的秘密创造的，这需要具有大师知识的工匠能够在不伤害自己或他人的情况下使用它们。在需要的时候，铸造大师能够从密室中取出这些遗物，以释放人类古老的失落技术来对抗敌人。
Chapter Variations 战团变体
Master of the Rock 巨石之主
The Master of the Rock is a variation of the Master of the Forge used by the Dark Angels. Ominously different from standard Masters of the Forge, upon ascending to this honored position the Master of the Rock follows his predecessors by being permanently wired into the control system of the machine banks of The Rock. It is an important duty meant to placate the most important Machine Spirits, direct the maintenance engines and Warp Drives, and preserve the asteroids force fields. The previous Masters, whose bodies have completely withered, are left in place, their mechanical upgrades still working. Eventually they will be collected for display in the Alcoves of Honor of The Rock.
巨石之主是黑暗天使使用的铸造大师的变体。与标准的铸造大师不同的是，在升至这一荣誉职位后，巨石之主跟随他的前任，永久地连接到巨石机械库的控制系统中。这是一项重要的职责，旨在安抚最重要的机魂，指导维护引擎和亚空间驱动器，并保护小行星的灵能场。之前的大师们的身体已经完全枯萎，他们的机械升级仍然有效。最终，它们将被收集起来，在巨石的荣誉壁龛中展示。
Because of their dual allegiances to the Chapter and the Adeptus Mechanicus, Techmarines are not inducted into the Deathwing or Inner Circle. This includes the Master of the Rock, who is privy only to the technological secrets and ancient technologies stored about the asteroid base.
由于他们对战团和机械神教的双重忠诚，技术军士不会被纳入死翼或内环。这包括巨石之主，他只知道小行星基地的科技秘密和古代技术。
