Overview 概述

The Falchion was developed long before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, incorporating technology seen in both the Fellblade and Shadowsword. As it was was developed for the Great Crusade, its intended prey was not the enemy Titans it would later see such extensive combat against. As the Great Crusade expanded ever outward, the Expeditionary Fleets encountered a staggering array of foes, some of whom were of a truly gargantuan scale, but all were set to ravening flame by the touch of the Falchion’s Volcano cannon. 

弯刀是在荷鲁斯叛乱爆发之前很久开发的，融合了残暴刃和影剑中的技术。由于它是为大远征而开发的，它的目标猎物不是它后来会看到如此大规模战斗的敌方泰坦。随着大远征不断向外扩张，远征舰队遇到了一系列令人震惊的敌人，其中一些敌人的规模确实巨大，但所有敌人都被弯刀的火山炮焚尽了。

During the Great Crusade, records of the Falchion devastating firepower were kept by the Ultramarines in their conquests of the formless overlord beings of the Psiom Reach, and from a company of Iron Hands to topple the mountain-fortresses of the Thulos Deeps.

在大远征期间，极限战士在征服普西奥姆河段无定形霸主生物时，以及在钢铁之手连队摧毁图洛斯深处山脉堡垒时，都保存了弯刀毁灭性火力的记录。

Weaponry 武器

The Falchion’s twin-mounted Volcano Cannon is one of the most powerful vehicle-mounted, anti-tank weapons in the Imperium’s arsenal and it requires such an investment in resources to construct just a single example that its use is limited to the Legiones Astartes. Even then, the Falchion is so rare that most Legions maintain but a handful, reserved for use against the largest of enemy war machines. 

弯刀的双联火山炮是帝国军械库中最强大的车载反坦克武器之一，而且仅制造一件就需要投入如此多的资源，它的使用仅限于阿斯塔特军团。即便如此，弯刀还是如此罕见，以至于大多数军团只保留了少数，专门用于对抗最大的敌方战争机器。
