A Sanguinary Ancient is a member of the Sanguinary Guard that carries their Chapter Standard to battle.

圣血旗手是圣血卫队的一员，携带他们的战团旗帜作战。

They are chosen, before each conflict, by a council of their peers for the honor of doing so, as the Chapter Standard is only brought to war in time of great need. The sight of such a wondrous relic being cared by the Sanguinary Ancient, however, inspires warriors of the Imperium to turn crushing defeats into glorious victories.

在每次冲突之前，他们都是由圣血卫队组成的议会选出的，以获得这样的荣誉，因为战团旗帜只有在非常需要的时候才会投入战争。然而，看到这样一个了不起的圣物被圣血旗手保养，激励着帝国的战士们将惨败转化为辉煌的胜利。
