The Sanguinary Guard, also known as the Ikisat, Seraphs, or the Burning Ones, are the utmost elite of the Veterans of the Blood Angels, proven in mind, body, and spirit, and exemplifying the values of their Primarch Sanguinius to an extent no other Space Marine can.

圣血卫队，也称为伊基萨特、炽天使或炽热者，是圣血天使老兵的最高精英，在思想、身体和精神上都得到了证明，并在某种程度上体现了他们的原体圣吉列斯的价值观，这是其他星际战士所无法比拟的。

History 历史

The Sanguinary Guard has its origins during the Great Crusade when Sanguinius himself led the Blood Angels as a Legion. These warriors were the most renowned of the Orders of the First Sphere, which then also included the Crimson Paladins, Burning Eyes, and Angel's Tears. Members of the Sanguinary Guard were chosen for their unwavering devotion to their Primarch and were tasked to act as the personal bodyguard of Sanguinius. On some occasions, they were also used to protect other high-ranking members of the Blood Angels.

圣血卫队起源于大远征，当时圣吉列斯本人领导了作为军团的圣血天使。这些战士是第一界修会中最著名的，当时还包括猩红圣骑士、燃烧之眼和天使之泪。圣血卫队的成员因其对原体的坚定忠诚而被选中，并被指派担任圣吉列斯的个人护卫。在某些情况下，它们也被用来保护圣血天使的其他高级成员。

The Sanguinary Guard fought alongside Sanguinius as he took part in the boarding operation of the Vengeful Spirit during the climax of the Siege of Terra. After this battle only a single survivor remained of that august force: Azkaellon, Herald of the Primarch, and only because Sanguinius insisted that he remain on Terra. It was on his shoulders that the heavy burden befell of the reconstitution of the Order, to serve as a beacon of hope for the dark days that lay ahead. It is largely through his efforts that the legacy of the Sanguinary Guard survived in the Blood Angels, and spread to all its Successors.

圣血卫队与圣吉列斯并肩作战，他在泰拉围城的高潮中参加了复仇之魂的跳帮行动。这场战役后，这支威严的部队只剩下一名幸存者：原体的传令官阿兹卡隆，这只是因为圣吉列斯坚持要他留在泰拉。重建卫队的重任落在了他的肩上，作为未来黑暗日子的希望灯塔。正是通过他的努力，圣血卫队的遗产在圣血天使中得以幸存，并传播给了所有的子战团。

Heresy-era Sanguinary Guard 叛乱时期圣血卫队

Ten thousand years later, after the formation of the Great Rift, the Sanguinary Guard again faced destruction against Hive Fleet Leviathan. In the ensuing Devastation of Baal, only a single member of the Sanguinary Guard, Caraeus, survived.

一万年后，在大裂隙形成后，圣血卫队再次面临着虫巢舰队利维坦的毁灭。在随后的巴尔之毁中，只有一名圣血卫队成员卡拉厄斯幸存下来。

The Sanguinary Guard was subsequently rebuilt with surviving veterans and Primaris Space Marines. During the Battle of Idolatros in the Arks of Omen Campaign they accompanied Dante as he battled Angron. Once again the Sanguinary Guard took heavy losses, though there were several survivors.

圣血卫队随后与幸存的老兵和原铸星际战士一起重建。在噩兆方舟战役中的伊多拉特罗斯战役中，他们陪同但丁与安格隆作战。圣血卫队再次遭受重大损失，但仍有几名幸存者。

Wargear 战备

Unlike other Veterans, the Sanguinary Guard do not select wargear according to their expertise, but instead use weapons and armor traditional to their Order: the wrist-mounted Angelus Boltgun, Plasma Pistol, or Inferno Pistol and the Glaives Encarmine, Encarmine Spear, Encarmine Sword, Encarmine Axe, Sanguinary Banner, or Power Fist. Golden Artificer Armour girds their bodies, and baleful Death Masks cover their faces, while they leap into battle courtesy of Winged Jump Packs. Depending on the situation, they may carry the Chapter Banner to war.

与其他老兵不同，圣血卫队不根据他们的专业知识选择武器装备，而是使用他们修会传统的武器和盔甲：腕戴式祷告爆矢枪、等离子手枪或炼狱手枪，以及深红长剑、深红之矛、深红之剑、深红之斧、圣血军旗或动力拳。金色精工盔甲包裹着他们的身体，凶恶的死亡面具遮住了他们的脸，而他们则借助带翼跳跃背包跳入战斗。根据情况，他们可能会携带战团旗帜参加战争。

Successor Variants 子战团变体

While it has been stated that all of the Blood Angels' Successor Chapters maintain a Sanguinary Guard, following the same colour scheme as that used by the Blood Angels - with the exception of the Angels Encarmine, whose Sanguinary Guard instead wear alabaster white armour - never have the Flesh Tearers' Sanguinary Guard been shown in the same colours as the rest of the chapter.

虽然有人说，所有圣血天使的子战团都有一个圣血卫队，但遵循与圣血天使相同的配色方案——除了赤红天使，它的圣血卫队穿着雪花石膏白色盔甲——但撕肉者的圣血卫队从未以与战团其余成员相同的颜色出现。

Conflicting sources 来源冲突

The original lore of the Blood Angels stated that Azkaellon was the sole Sanguinary Guard to survive the Heresy, but The End and the Death novels present another, Taerwelt Ikasati, as surviving.

圣血天使的最初传说中，阿兹卡隆是唯一一位在叛乱中幸存下来的圣血卫队，但《死亡与终结》小说中提供了另一位幸存者，塔尔维特·伊卡萨蒂。
