战帅，也被称为太阳领主，或简称太阳，是帝国和帝国卫队的一个特殊军衔。

Overview 概述
Historically, Warmaster was the title bestowed upon the most favoured Primarch, Horus of the Luna Wolves Space Marine Legion, by the Emperor. The granting of this title was to recognise that Horus was to act as the Emperor's proxy during the latter part of the Great Crusade. Eventually, the Luna Wolves were renamed the Sons of Horus to better reflect the prestige of the Warmaster's title.Now, it stands as the one of the most powerful ranks in the Imperial Guard, second only to the rank of Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard.
从历史上看，战帅是帝皇授予最受宠爱的原体 — 影月苍狼星际战士军团的荷鲁斯的头衔。授予这一头衔是为了承认荷鲁斯在大远征后期将担任帝皇的代理人。最终，影月苍狼被重新命名为荷鲁斯之子，以更好地反映战帅头衔的声望。现在，它是帝国卫队中最高的军衔之一，仅次于军事领主指挥官。
Warmasters are created when a Crusade is being planned and resources from multiple sectors are needed. Supreme overall command is necessary as internal strife and corruption might make assembling the material required and co-operating in the field difficult for members of the same rank. The rank is not available unless granted by the High Lords of Terra and such an individual is said to be given the powers by the Emperor himself. There is rarely more than one Warmaster operating within the Imperium at any one time, due to the extreme powers given to them.
当远征正在计划中并且需要来自多个部门的资源时，就会创建战帅。最高总指挥是必要的，因为内乱和腐败可能会使同级别成员难以收集所需材料并在现场合作。除非泰拉的高领主授予，否则无法获得军衔，据说这样的人是由帝皇亲自授予权力的。由于他们被赋予了极限的权力，在任何时候，帝国内很少有一个以上的战帅在任。
Other names for this rank of Lord Solar, or just Solar are by many considered more preferable — coming from the title held by Macharius in his crusade at the beginning of the 41st millennium. Some consider 'Warmaster' a cursed title because of the ties to Horus and the Horus Heresy, which tore the Imperium in two. In this light, 'Lord Solar' is considered a more prestigious and desirable title, but fundamentally, the two ranks are interchangeable.
许多人认为，这一级别太阳领主或太阳比其他名字更可取——来自马卡里乌斯在第41个千年初的远征中所拥有的头衔。有些人认为“战帅”是一个被诅咒的头衔，因为它与荷鲁斯和荷鲁斯叛乱有联系，后者将帝国一分为二。从这个角度来看，“太阳领主”被认为是一个更具声望和吸引力的头衔，但从根本上说，这两个级别是可以互换的。

Conflicting Sources - Warmaster and Lord Solar 冲突的来源-战帅和太阳领主
Codex: Imperial Guard (3rd Edition, 2nd Codex), released in 2003, states that Lord Solar is a title interchangeable with that of Warmaster (pg. 9). It is again stated in Codex: Astra Militarum (8th Edition), pg. 7. However, this was rescinded in a Warhammer Community article from 16/12/22, which states that the Lord Solar is just the Lord Commander of the Segmentum Solar, and not the Warmaster.
2003年发布的圣典：帝国卫队（第3版，第2版圣典）指出，“太阳领主”是一个可以与“战帅”互换的头衔（第9页）。圣典：星界军（第8版）第7页再次指出了这一点。然而，这在22年12月16日的一篇战锤社区文章中被撤销，该文章指出，太阳领主只是太阳星域的领主指挥官，而不是战帅。
