The Baal Predator is an infantry support tank used only by the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter and their Successor Chapters.
巴尔掠食者是一种步兵支援坦克，仅由圣血天使星际战士战团及其子战团使用。
The Baal-variant of the Predator was developed by the Blood Angels' Techmarines, designed to carry weapons with a high rate of fire, giving it devastating anti-infantry power and enabling it to lay down a withering hail of fire as the Blood Angels advance, scything down enemy infantry and light vehicles with terrifying efficiency. Due to its specific weapon, Baal Predators are highly effective in close support of infantry assaults but have little effectiveness as an anti-tank weapon.
掠食者的巴尔变体是由圣血天使的技术军士开发的，旨在携带高射速武器，赋予其毁灭性的反步兵力量，并使其能够在圣血天使前进时发射猛烈的炮火，以惊人的效率割除敌方步兵和轻型车辆。由于其特殊的武器，巴尔掠食者在近距离支援步兵攻击方面非常有效，但作为反坦克武器的效果很弱。

History 历史
Like the other Predator variants, the Baal is based on the ubiquitous Rhino chassis. The pattern has seen service with the Blood Angels almost since their inception as a Legion. The STC template for the Baal's construction was recovered during the early parts of the Great Crusade on Atium III, from the ruins of the arch-techno-heretic Lord de Ladt. Instead of giving the template to the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Blood Angels kept it and placed it within a stasis-cell on Baal where it remains to this day, protected as a relic of the Chapter. This has served as a source of friction between the Blood Angels, who continue to deny any wrongdoing, and the Adeptus Mechanicus, which claims that this variant and its STC template were never officially sanctified. Because of this, the design is now only produced by the Blood Angels themselves and by their descendant chapters.
与其他掠食者变体一样，巴尔掠食者基于无处不在的犀牛底盘。自圣血天使军团成立以来，这种型号几乎一直在圣血天使军团服役。在大远征初期，巴尔掠食者的STC模版在阿提姆三号上被发现，它取自古代科技异端领主德拉特的遗迹之中。圣血天使没有将模板交给机械神教，而是将其保存并放置在巴尔的一个静滞舱内，直到今天，它仍然作为战团的圣物受到保护。这成为了圣血天使（他们继续否认任何不法行为）和机械神教之间摩擦的根源，后者声称这种变体及其STC模板从未被正式神圣化。因此，这个设计现在只由圣血天使自己和他们的子战团制作。
Design 设计
Because of the Blood Angel's refusal to share its construction methods with others, the Baal's degree of similarity with other Predator tanks in its inner workings can only be speculated. The main observable differences are the weapons which the Baal Predator carries. The main turret mounts either a set of twin-linked assault cannons or a Flamestorm Cannon. The Flamestorm Baal Predators have been included in Blood Angels forces just recently. though some of the Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests have linked it to the Predator variants of old.
由于圣血天使拒绝与他人分享其制造方法，因此只能推测巴尔掠食者在内部运作方面与其他掠食者坦克的相似程度。主要可观察到的差异是巴尔掠食者携带的武器。主炮塔装有一套双联突击炮或火焰风暴炮。最近，火焰风暴巴尔掠食者被纳入圣血天使部队。尽管一些机械神教技术神甫将其与旧的掠食者变体联系起来。

Its side sponsons are capable of mounting heavy bolters or heavy flamers. This makes the Baal pattern highly effective at supporting close infantry assaults, part of the preferred method of combat practiced by the Blood Angels.
它的侧舷能够安装重型爆矢枪或重型火焰枪。这使得巴尔型在支援近战步兵突击方面非常有效，这是圣血天使首选的战斗方法的一部分。
Lucifer Pattern Engine 路西法型引擎
The Lucifer Pattern Thermic Combustor Engine is an unique piece of technology presumably discovered by the Blood Angels along with the Baal Predator STC. This engine is a significantly more efficient machine and vehicle capable of higher speeds than the others of the same class. The Lucifer pattern Engine have its own disadvantages however: unlike the standard Predator engine it can't utilize a wide range of commonly available fuel sources, put an additional stress upon the hull and necessitate more intensive maintenance as well as regular prayers to aggrieved machine spirits. However the Blood Angels considers these problems as acceptable, because thanks to this engine their Battle-Brothers are able to enter the combat much faster then they might without it.
路西法型热燃烧引擎是一项独特的技术，可能是由圣血天使通过巴尔掠食者STC发现的。这种引擎是一种效率更高的机器，搭载该引擎的载具能够达到比同级别更高的速度。然而，路西法型引擎有其自身的缺点：与标准的掠食者引擎不同，它不能利用各种常见的燃料来源，给车体带来额外的压力，需要更密集的维护以及定期向受屈的机魂祷告。然而，圣血天使认为这些问题是可以接受的，因为多亏了这个引擎，他们的战斗兄弟能够比没有它的时候更快地进入战斗。
Equipment 设备
The Baal Predator can also be equipped with a pintle-mounted Storm Bolter as well as Dozer Blades, Extra Armour, a Hunter-killer Missile, a Searchlight and Smoke Launchers.
巴尔掠食者还可以配备一个枢轴式风暴爆矢枪以及推土机铲刀、额外装甲、猎杀飞弹、探照灯和烟雾发射器。
