The Mortus Poisoners were the Death Guard's specially trained and equipped cadre of Flamer-wielding Destroyer Squads, during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间，莫图斯毒杀者小队是死亡守卫经过特殊训练和装备的火焰扫射毁灭者小队。

Overview 概述

Kept aboard the Death Guard's Poison Ships, the Poisoners wielded a high proportion of chemical munitions, even by the standards of their Legion. Frequently deployed in support of more conventional troops, their formidable weapons were a valuable asset in clearing defensive positions. However, the horrifying alchemical flame the Poisoners' weapons spread would be the scourge of many battlefields throughout the galaxy.

在死亡守卫的毒船上，毒杀者挥舞着很大比例的化学弹药，即使按照他们军团的标准也是如此。他们经常部署以支援更常规的部队，他们强大的武器是清理防御阵地的宝贵资产。然而，毒杀者的武器所发射的可怕炼金火焰将成为整个银河系许多战场的灾害。

Eventually, though, their close exposure to such deadly chemical and biological weapons inevitably took a toll on the Poisoners. If they did not die at the hands of their enemies, then Poisoners faced an unavoidable demise: either by withering away or being consumed by flames when chemicals ate through the protective seals of their weapons' fuel canisters. The Death Guard were well aware of this, and it became an unofficial act of censure or punishment to be assigned to the Poisoners. This was reserved for members of the Legion that failed to achieve what was asked of them by their command. Despite this, however, there were Poisoners who embraced serving within the Destroyer cadre enthusiastically. These Poisoners sought to close with their enemies in order to unleash toxic death. They did so, though, with disturbingly little heed for their own longevity.

然而，最终，他们与这种致命的化学和生物武器的密切接触不可避免地对毒杀者造成了伤害。如果他们没有死于敌人之手，那么毒杀者将面临不可避免的死亡：要么逐渐枯萎，要么当化学物质腐蚀他们武器燃料罐的防护密封时被火焰吞噬。死亡守卫非常清楚这一点，这成为了一种非正式的责难或惩罚行为，被分配给毒杀者。这是为未能实现其指挥要求的军团成员保留的。然而，尽管如此，仍有毒杀者热情地接受在毁灭者骨干队伍中服役。这些毒杀者试图与敌人接近，以释放有毒的死亡。然而，他们这样做，却令人不安地很少考虑自己的长命。

Armaments 军备

The Poisoners' flamers unleashed hissing emerald fire, due to their fuel canister's chemical cocktail. They also carried rad grenades as part of their Destroyer arsenal and Poisoner squads were led into battle by Poison-masters. Due to years of exposure from deadly biological agents, their power armor was eroded and no longer displayed the original colours of the Death Guard.

由于燃料罐中的化学混合物，毒杀者的火焰释放出是嘶嘶作响的祖母绿火焰。作为毁灭者军械库的一部分，他们还携带了辐射手榴弹，毒杀者小队被毒药大师带入战斗。由于多年暴露在致命的生物制剂中，他们的动力装甲被侵蚀，不再显示出死亡卫队原始的颜色。
