Their specialty is siege warfare and the reduction of fortified positions, which made them natural rivals of the Imperial Fists even before the Heresy. The Iron Warriors are also fierce close-range fighters, witnesses comparing their ferocity to the berserkers of the World Eaters traitor legion or the loyalist Blood Angels. They make common use of slave-soldiers as cannon fodder to wither the ammunition supplies of the besieged and to locate the positions of enemy gun emplacements. Like the Iron Hands they used bionics often to replace mutated limbs, as they hated all forms of mutation.
他们的专长是攻城战和突破防御阵地，这使他们在叛乱之前就成为了帝国之拳的天然对手。钢铁勇士也是凶猛的近距离战士，目击者将他们的凶猛比作吞世者叛徒军团或忠诚的圣血天使的狂战士。他们经常使用奴隶士兵作为炮灰，以减少被围困者的弹药供应，并确定敌方炮位的位置。像钢铁之手一样，他们经常使用仿生部件来代替变异的肢体，因为他们讨厌所有形式的变异。
History 历史
Origins 起源
Originally created as the IVth Legion, the Legion was founded atop the wreckage of a recidivist fortress on the Terran Auro Plateau of Sek-Amrak. The warlike gun-tribes in the surrounding areas made up the first of the Legion's Marines. The early IVth Legion proved itself in the Unification Wars, making its domain one of the most stalwart bastions of the Emperor. The Legion's gene-seed showed above average adaptability and a below average resistance rate to Bionics. This allowed the Legion to be one of the largest and the earliest deployed alongside the I Legion and V Legion.
最初创建为第四军团，该军团建立在泰拉萨克-阿姆瑞克的奥罗高原上一座累犯堡垒的废墟之上。周围地区好战的枪火部落组成了军团的第一支星际战士。早期的第四军团在统一战争中证明了自己，使其领地成为帝皇最坚固的堡垒之一。军团的基因种子对仿生部件表现出高于平均水平的适应性和低于平均水平的抗性。这使得该军团成为与第一军团和第五军团并肩部署的最大、最早的军团之一。
Unification Wars-era Iron Warrior 统一战争时期钢铁勇士
The Legion continued to distinguish itself in the conquest of the Sol System during the early days of the Great Crusade, winning honours in many battles, most notably in the Mehr Yasht campaign on Venus, where the IVth Legion was commanded by the Emperor himself to defeat the deadly Litho-Gholem armies of the War Witches. In light of their early successes, the Legion was given first access to new equipment being delivered from Mars. The Legion led the 8th Expeditionary Fleet, which distinguished itself in many campaigns. However, the Legion did not adapt their tactics to the new realities of the expanding Crusade and was called unimaginative by other Space Marine Legions and by Horus himself. Horus however was impressed by their stubbornness and would use the Legion to fight inglorious but vital campaigns of attrition. They soon became known as the workhorse Legion, relied upon for their tenacity and to follow orders to the letter. It was during this time that the Legion began to spread itself out, garrisoning many worlds and fighting many smaller campaigns across the expanding Imperium.
在大远征的早期，军团在征服太阳系的过程中继续脱颖而出，在许多战斗中赢得了荣誉，最著名的是在金星上的梅赫·亚什特战役中，第四军团由帝皇亲自指挥，击败了战争女巫的致命岩石魔像军队。鉴于他们早期的成功，军团首次获得了从火星运送的新设备。军团领导了第八远征舰队，该舰队在许多战役中都表现出色。然而，军团并没有使他们的战术适应不断扩大的远征的新现实，并被其他星际战士军团和荷鲁斯本人称为缺乏想象力。然而，荷鲁斯对他们的固执印象深刻，并将利用军团进行不光彩但至关重要的消耗战。他们很快就被称为主力军团，依靠他们的坚韧和严格遵守命令。正是在这段时间里，军团开始向外扩张，驻扎了许多世界，并在不断扩大的帝国中进行了许多较小的战役。
One of the Legion's most tragic episodes would come in 842.M30 during the liberation of the Forge World of Incaladion: The stubborn IVth Legion used their typical tactics of heavy artillery and armoured spearheads, and suffered staggering losses in a protracted siege. Nearly 29,000 Legionaries died over the yearlong campaign, virtually annihilating the 8th Expeditionary Fleet.
军团最悲惨的事件之一发生在842.M30，英卡拉迪翁铸造世界解放期间：顽固的第四军团使用了他们典型的重型火炮和装甲矛头战术，在长期围困中遭受了惊人的损失。在长达一年的战役中，近29000名军团士兵死亡，几乎消灭了第8远征舰队。
Meanwhile, the Iron Warriors' Primarch, Perturabo, was raised on Olympia, a mountainous planet divided into warring city-states. Because of the rugged terrain, military supremacy revolved around the construction of stone fortresses and the control of strategic mountain passes. Perturabo had an affinity for cold logic and the use of technology which made him a superb military engineer. By the time the Emperor's Great Crusade reached Olympia, Perturabo was warlord to the Tyrant of Lochos. As was his custom when one of his lost sons was found, the Emperor gave Perturabo rule over his home planet and relocated his Legion's headquarters there. Upon taking command of his Legion, Perturabo reviewed the war record of his new forces. After extensively analysing their record, effectiveness, doctrines and practices, Perturabo found them wanting. His punishment was decimation. By lottery, one in every ten Legionaries was chosen to be beaten to death by his comrades. Such would be Perturabo's reign: brutal and unforgiving.
与此同时，钢铁勇士的原体佩图拉博在奥林匹亚长大，奥林匹亚是一个多山的星球，被划分为交战的城邦。由于地形崎岖，军事霸权围绕着建造石头堡垒和控制战略山口展开。佩图拉博对冷逻辑和技术的使用有着浓厚的兴趣，这使他成为一名出色的军事工程师。当帝皇的大远征到达奥林匹亚时，佩图拉博已经是洛科斯暴君的军阀。按照他的惯例，当他的一个失踪的子嗣被发现时，帝皇让佩图拉博统治他的家园行星，并将他的军团总部迁至那里。在接管他的军团后，佩图拉博回顾了他的新部队的战争记录。在广泛分析了他们的记录、有效性、理论和实践后，佩图拉博发现他们存在不足。他的惩罚是毁灭性的。通过抽签，每十名军团士兵中就有一人被他的战友们殴打致死。这就是佩图拉博的统治：残酷无情。
Even before they were reunited with their Primarch, the Space Marines of the IV Legion had inherited his military qualities. Perturabo quickly recruited new troops from Olympia and embarked on a campaign against the nearby moon base known as the Rock of Judgement, ruled by the Black Judges. It was a stunning success, though only fragmentary records of it survive in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy.
甚至在他们与原体团聚之前，第四军团的星际战士就继承了他的军事品质。佩图拉博迅速从奥林匹亚招募了新的部队，并开始对附近的被称为审判之岩的卫星基地发动战役，该基地由黑色法官统治。这是一个惊人的成功，尽管在荷鲁斯叛乱之后，只有零星的记录幸存下来。
The Great Crusade 大远征
Quickly recognised as experts in the art of siege warfare, the Iron Warriors were regularly called upon to exercise their skills in cracking open enemy defences. This had an unfortunate effect on the character of their Legion. By their nature, sieges are the most grinding and demoralising type of warfare: long periods of tedium and unspectacular labour, broken by episodes of merciless, close-quarters brutality. The Iron Warriors saw the storming of the breach as an escape from the tedium, and developed into ferocious close quarters fighters. They even came to prefer for enemy strongholds not to surrender, thus justifying the slaughter of everyone within once the fortresses were taken. It became the Legion's curse (one of many) that these episodes of brutality eclipsed their superb affinity for the application of logic and mathematics to military problems in the eyes of their fellow Space Marines and the Imperium as a whole. Even in its earliest days before officially being dubbed the Iron Warriors, the Legion was known for its thankless and brutal siege operations which led to the informal slang as the Corpse Grinders. However the use of this term was frowned down upon by Imperial authorities, and could even result in punishment.
钢铁勇士很快被公认为攻城战的专家，他们经常被要求锻炼自己的技能，以突破敌人的防御。这对他们军团的性格产生了不幸的影响。从本质上讲，围攻是最残酷、最令人沮丧的战争类型：长时间的乏味和不引人注目的劳动，被无情、近距离的暴行打断。钢铁勇士将突破缺口视为摆脱乏味的一种方式，并发展成为凶猛的近距离战士。他们甚至宁愿敌人的据点不投降，因此一旦堡垒被占领，就有理由屠杀里面的每个人。这成为了军团的诅咒（许多诅咒之一），这些暴行事件掩盖了他们在星际战士和整个帝国眼中对将逻辑和数学应用于军事问题的高超亲和力。即使在正式被称为钢铁勇士之前的早期，军团也以其吃力不讨好和残酷的围攻行动而闻名，这导致了非正式的称号尸体研磨者。然而，使用这个词遭到了帝国当局的反对，甚至可能导致惩罚。
Pre-Heresy Iron Warrior Space Marine 叛乱前钢铁勇士星际战士
Given their expertise at constructing and manning fortresses, the Legion also found itself constantly diminishing in active crusading size as units were detached from it to act as garrison troops watching over worlds in the process of compliance. One infamous garrison for this task was that of the Iron Keep on Delgas II, where a single ten-marine squad of Iron Warriors watched over a disgruntled population of 130 million. It is unknown why the Iron Warriors were so often selected for such assignments, or why Perturabo always accepted such orders without protest, but it is supposed that it began to inflict serious damage to the Legion's morale. Even Space Marines need rest, but the Crusade gave them none. A particularly brutal battle of the Great Crusade for the Iron Warriors was the thankless Sak'trada Deeps Campaign against the Hrud, which resulted in heavy casualties on a strategically far-off and worthless system.
鉴于他们在建造和配备堡垒方面的专业知识，军团还发现，随着部队从军团中分离出来，作为守备部队在征服过程中监视世界，其积极的规模也在不断缩小。一个臭名昭著的驻军是德尔加斯二号上的钢铁要塞，在那里，一支由十名钢铁勇士组成的星际战士小队监视着1.3亿心怀不满的人民。目前尚不清楚为什么钢铁勇士经常被选中执行这样的任务，也不清楚为什么佩图拉博总是毫无异议地接受这样的命令，但据推测，这开始对军团的士气造成严重损害。即使是星际战士也需要休息，但远征没有给他们任何休息。钢铁勇士大远征中一场特别残酷的战斗是吃力不讨好的萨克’特拉达深渊战役，该战役在战略上遥远而毫无价值的星系上造成了重大伤亡。
Heresy-era symbol 叛乱时期标志
Worse, their "typecasting" as siege engineers or garrison troops set them apart from their brother Legions and made them feel increasingly marginalized. In particular they were aggrieved by the Imperial Fists, whose Primarch, Rogal Dorn, often boasted about the impregnability of the defences they had constructed around the Imperial Palace on Terra. Perturabo was not the only Primarch who found his brother Dorn boastful and arrogant, but Perturabo was unable to let the insults to himself and his Legion pass, and these continued to fester in his heart. Likewise, Corax, the Primarch of the Raven Guard, made little secret of his contempt for Perturabo and his Legion, dismissing them as stolid attritionists, anathema to Corax's own concept of fluid, hit-and-run warfare.
更糟糕的是，他们作为攻城工程师或驻军的“定型”使他们与兄弟军团区别开来，并使他们感到越来越被边缘化。他们尤其对帝国之拳感到不满，其首领罗格·多恩经常吹嘘他们在泰拉皇宫周围建造的防御工事坚不可摧。佩图拉博并不是唯一一个发现他的兄弟多恩自夸和傲慢的原体，但佩图拉博无法让对自己和他的军团的侮辱过去，这些侮辱继续在他的心中溃烂。同样，暗鸦守卫的原体科拉克斯毫不掩饰他对佩图拉博和他的军团的蔑视，认为他们是冷漠的归因论者，是科拉克斯自己的流动、跑打的战争概念的诅咒。
The Iron Warriors did little to improve relations with the rest of the Imperium's armed forces. They maintained a cold and rude relationship with their fellow Space Marine Legions, while to the Imperial Army they became known as the Corpse Grinders for the high casualties their forces experienced under Iron Warriors command. Imperial Army regiments began to mutiny rather than be placed under Iron Warriors command or continue with their bloody attacks. Horus remedied the situation by ensuring that only criminals and slaves would be transferred to Perturabo.
钢铁勇士几乎没有改善与帝国其他武装部队的关系。他们与星际战士保持着冷淡而粗鲁的关系，而在帝国陆军中，他们因在钢铁勇士指挥下部队遭受的高伤亡而被称为尸体研磨者。帝国兵团开始兵变，而不是被钢铁勇士指挥或继续进行血腥袭击。荷鲁斯通过确保只有罪犯和奴隶会被转移到佩图拉博来纠正这种情况。
The Turning Point 转折点
The growing disillusionment that began to show itself during bitter and pointless battles such as the Sak'trada Deeps Campaign would eventually translate into a tragic explosion of despair and rage as the Iron Warriors learned that their own homeworld, Olympia, had revolted against Imperial rule. Enraged, Perturabo drew his Legion away from the extermination campaign they were waging upon the Hrud and led them homewards, falling upon the world with no mercy. The planet was battered into submission, and he gave orders that the cities were to enact decimation, killing one in every ten of their own or face extermination and enslavement. Cities burned, and over five million inhabitants were killed. Some Iron Warriors refused to take part in the genocide, and they too were struck down. In the aftermath, the Legion as a whole seemed aghast at their actions, aware that they had committed an unforgivable atrocity.
在萨克’特拉达深渊战役等痛苦而毫无意义的战斗中，人们开始表现出越来越大的幻灭感，最终转化为绝望和愤怒的悲剧爆发，因为钢铁勇士得知他们自己的家园世界奥林匹亚已经反抗帝国统治。佩图拉博怒不可遏，将他的军团从他们对赫鲁德发动的灭绝战役中拉了出来，带领他们回家，毫不留情地降临到世界上。这个行星被打得屈服了，他下令各城市进行大规模屠杀，每十个城市中就有一个被屠杀，否则将面临灭绝和奴役。城市被烧毁，500多万居民死亡。一些钢铁勇士拒绝参与灭绝罪行，他们也被击倒了。事后，整个军团似乎对他们的行为感到震惊，意识到他们犯下了不可原谅的暴行。
However, before word of their actions could reach the other arms of the Imperium, the Iron Warriors once again received orders to move into action. This time it was to move to the Isstvan system. While the Iron Warriors had been engaged in suppressing the rebellion on Olympia, the Galaxy had turned upside down: Horus had rebelled against the Emperor, Fulgrim, Angron and Mortarion had joined him, and the Space Wolves had slaughtered the Thousand Sons on Prospero. If the Iron Warriors had committed an outrage on Olympia, then their brother legions seemed determined to outdo them; the Horus Heresy had begun. Horus promised Perturabo not only forgiveness for his genocide on Olympia but even commended him for it. So Perturabo soon swore a secret oath of loyalty to the Warmaster. Upon being informed of the destruction of Olympia, some Iron Warrior units broke away from their Legion, subsequently joining the Loyalists in the upcoming civil war.
然而，在他们的行动消息传到帝国的其他兵种之前，钢铁勇士再次接到行动的命令。这一次，它将转向伊斯塔万行星。当钢铁勇士一直在镇压奥林匹亚的叛乱时，银河系已经天翻地覆：荷鲁斯背叛了帝皇，福格瑞姆、安格隆和莫塔里安加入了他的行列，太空野狼在普洛斯佩罗屠杀了千子。倘若钢铁勇士军团已在奥林匹亚犯下暴行，那么他们的兄弟军团似乎决意要超越这份残酷；荷鲁斯叛乱开始了。荷鲁斯不仅向佩图拉博承诺宽恕他在奥林匹亚的灭绝罪行，甚至还赞扬了他。因此，佩图拉博很快就秘密宣誓效忠战帅。在得知奥林匹亚被毁后，一些钢铁勇士部队脱离了他们的军团，随后加入了即将到来的内战中的忠诚派。
The Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱
The Iron Warriors were ordered to join the second assault on the Traitors' position on Isstvan V, but instead declared their true allegiance to Horus and fell upon their former brothers of the Raven Guard and the Iron Hands without mercy during the Drop Site Massacre. Following the Massacre on Isstvan V, the next major action of the Iron Warriors was the ambush of the Imperial Fists fleet at Phall. While these main contingents of the Iron Warriors under Perturabo became major assets to the developing Traitor campaign, the Legion saw a great number of garrisons and isolated expeditions declare for the Loyalists or go completely rogue at the Horus Heresy's start.
钢铁勇士被命令加入对伊斯塔万五号叛徒阵地的第二次进攻，但他们却宣布了对荷鲁斯的真正忠诚，并在登陆点大屠杀中毫不留情地袭击了他们的前暗鸦守卫和钢铁之手兄弟。在伊斯塔万五号大屠杀之后，钢铁勇士的下一个主要行动是在法尔伏击帝国之拳舰队。虽然佩图拉博领导下的钢铁勇士的这些主要特遣队成为了发展中的叛徒战役的主要资产，但军团看到了大量的驻军和孤立的探索队在荷鲁斯叛乱开始时宣布支持忠诚派或完全叛变。
Heresy-era Iron Warriors Space Marine 叛乱时期钢铁勇士星际战士
Following the action at Phall and the reduction of Hydra Cordatus, the Legion under Perturabo's personal command would journey with Fulgrim to the Crone World of Iydris, pursuing an ancient weapon known as the Angel Exterminatus. However, the entire affair was a ploy by Fulgrim to achieve daemonhood.
在法尔的行动和九头蛇之心的削弱之后，佩图拉博亲自指挥的军团将与福格瑞姆一起前往伊德瑞斯老妪世界，追逐一种名为灭绝天使的古老武器。然而，整个事件都是福格瑞姆为成为恶魔王子而采取的策略。
After this incident, Perturabo and his Iron Warriors found themselves trapped by the singularity in the heart of the Eye of Terror. In a desperate gamble, their fleet dove straight into the heart of the Eye of Terror, and were transported far across the Warp to the Tallarn System. Once arriving at Tallarn, Perturabo was made aware of the Black Oculus (also known as the Cursus of Alganar) hidden beneath the planet, and he immediately drew up plans to acquire it.
事件发生后，佩图拉博和他的钢铁勇士发现自己被恐惧之眼中心的奇点所困。在一场孤注一掷的赌博中，他们的舰队直接潜入恐惧之眼的中心，并被运送到亚空间对岸的塔兰星系。抵达塔兰后，佩图拉博意识到隐藏在星球下面的黑暗之眼（也称为阿尔加纳尔之诅咒），他立即制定了获得计划。
The intended hit-and-seize raid turned into a protracted conflict, as both the Traitors and the Imperium poured war material to their respective allies on Tallarn, neither willing to admit defeat. Over a million armored vehicles fought across the desert, which is reckoned as the largest tank confrontation in Imperial history, until eventually the Iron Warriors were forced to retreat without the Cursus. So great were their losses that Perturabo had to launch a mass recruitment program to replenish their strength in the aftermath.
计划中的突袭变成了一场旷日持久的冲突，因为叛徒和帝国都向各自在塔兰的盟友倾倒了战争物资，双方都不愿意承认失败。超过一百万辆装甲载具在沙漠中作战，这被认为是帝国历史上最大的坦克对抗，直到最终钢铁勇士在没有诅咒的情况下被迫撤退。他们的损失如此之大，以至于佩图拉博不得不启动大规模招募计划，以在事后补充他们的力量。
After Tallarn, the Iron Warriors were assigned to guard worlds to the rear of Horus' front that since the death of the Ruinstorm were now threatened by the advance of the Ultramarines. Many of these worlds served as the Traitor's chief supply line. Overextended, under-supplied, and engaging in thankless bitter sieges against the forces of Roboute Guilliman, the Iron Warriors took heavy losses and found themselves in a situation similar to that of the Great Crusade. This situation was interrupted when Perturabo received orders to find Angron and muster at Ullanor in preparation for the Siege of Terra. Despite having to abandon large amounts of warriors and worlds for which they bitterly bled for many years, Perturabo dutifully obeyed. Though many Iron Warriors were lost in the ensuing redeployments, Perturabo succeeded in arriving at Ullanor with Angron and his World Eaters. During the Siege of Terra, Perturabo became the face of Horus' war to the loyalists, engaging in the ultimate siege against his rival brother Rogal Dorn. The Iron Warriors led the assault against the Lion's Gate Spaceport and Gorgon Bar during the battle. Following the setback at the Saturnine Wall, Perturabo began to despair over the state of his allies. All save he and the Iron Warriors had by now fully fallen to Chaos, and with his warriors marched all kinds of Warp abominations. Perturabo realised that the war was no longer one of Legion vs. Legion and the ultimate test against his brother Rogal was now tainted. The final straw for Perturabo came after Horus informed Perturabo that he was to disperse his Iron Warriors amongst the various warzones and that his position was to be taken over by Mortarion and the Death Guard. Finally having had enough, Perturabo ordered the Iron Warriors to evacuate Terra and withdrew to the Iron Blood. Some Iron Warrior contingents refused to abandon the campaign or were just left behind by their comrades, and would keep fighting on Terra until the siege's conclusion.
在塔兰之后，钢铁勇士被指派守卫荷鲁斯前线后方的世界，自从毁灭风暴结束后，这些世界现在受到了极限战士的威胁。这些世界中的许多都是叛徒的主要补给线。过度扩张，供应不足，并对罗伯特·基里曼的部队进行了吃力不讨好的艰苦围攻，钢铁勇士遭受了重大损失，发现自己处于类似于大远征的境地。当佩图拉博接到命令，要找到安格隆并在乌兰诺集结，准备围攻泰拉时，这种情况被打断了。尽管不得不放弃大量的战士和世界，他们在多年为此付出了惨痛代价，但佩图拉博还是尽职尽责地服从了。尽管许多钢铁勇士在随后的重新部署中失利，但佩图拉博成功地与安格隆和他的吞世者一起抵达了乌兰诺。在泰拉围城期间，佩图拉博成为荷鲁斯对忠诚派战争的代言人，对他的对手兄弟罗格·多恩进行了终极围攻。钢铁勇士在战斗中领导了对狮门太空港和戈尔贡障碍的进攻。在土星之墙遭遇挫折后，佩图拉博开始对盟友的状况感到绝望。除了他和钢铁勇士，所有人现在都已经完全堕入混沌，他的战士们带着各种亚空间的可憎之物。佩图拉博意识到这场战争不再是军团与军团之间的战争，对他的兄弟罗格的最终考验现在被玷污了。在荷鲁斯通知佩图拉博，他将把他的钢铁勇士分散到各个战区，他的阵地由莫塔里安和死亡守卫接管后，佩图拉博的最后一根稻草落了下来。终于受够了，佩图拉博命令钢铁勇士撤离泰拉，撤退到铁血号。一些钢铁勇士特遣队拒绝放弃这场战役，或者只是被他们的战友留下，并将继续在泰拉上战斗，直到围城结束。
In the end, Horus was defeated by the Emperor, and the bulk of the Iron Warriors retreated into the Eye of Terror, while the rest sought to defend their scattered empire across Imperial space. Their "Empire of Iron" continued to be a thorn in the Imperium's side for a substantial time. Jointly assaulted by both the Imperial Fists and the Ultramarines, Olympia itself held out for two years. Eventually, the Iron Warriors triggered their own missile stockpiles when defeat was near, transforming the planet into a barren wasteland that, like the other Traitor Legion homeworlds, was declared perdita.
最终，荷鲁斯被帝皇击败，大部分钢铁勇士撤退到恐惧之眼，而其余的人则试图在帝国空域保卫他们分散的帝国。他们的“钢铁帝国”在相当长的一段时间内仍然是帝国的眼中钉。受到帝国之拳和极限战士的联合攻击，奥林匹亚本身坚持了两年。最终，当失败临近时，钢铁勇士发射了自己的导弹储备，将行星变成了一片贫瘠的荒地，就像其他叛徒军团的家园世界一样，被宣布为已失落。
Post-Heresy 叛乱后
Perturabo soon devised and enacted the one real victory for the Iron Warriors in the immediate aftermath of the Horus Heresy. He crafted a trap on Sebastus IV, designed to ensnare Rogal Dorn and the Imperial Fists, with whom Perturabo and his warriors harboured a bitter rivalry. This trap was known as the Eternal Fortress, a keep centred within twenty square miles of bunkers, towers, minefields, trenches, tank traps and redoubts. Upon hearing of this, Rogal Dorn publicly declared that he "would dig Perturabo out of his hole and bring him back to Terra in an iron cage". As a result of this statement, the ensuing battle has become known as the Iron Cage or "Iron Cage Incident".
在荷鲁斯叛乱事件之后，佩图拉博很快为钢铁勇士设计并实施了一场真正的胜利。他在塞瓦斯图斯四号上设计了一个陷阱，旨在诱捕罗格·多恩和帝国之拳，佩图拉博和他的战士们与他们展开了激烈的竞争。这个陷阱被称为“永恒堡垒”，它位于20平方英里的掩体、塔楼、雷区、战壕、坦克陷阱和堡垒内。听到这个消息后，罗格·多恩公开宣布他“将把佩图拉博从洞里挖出来，把他关进铁笼里带回泰拉”。由于这一声明，随后的战斗被称为铁笼或“铁笼事件”。
Post-Heresy Iron Warriors shoulderpad symbol 叛乱后钢铁勇士肩甲标志
Rogal Dorn expected an honourable battle, but this was not to be. Beginning by isolating the four Companies of the Imperial Fists that landed from their orbital support, Perturabo began to carefully divide his enemy and destroy them piecemeal. Some Imperial Fists managed to penetrate the defences and reach the centre of the Eternal Fortress, only to find there was no central keep - simply an open space watched by yet more defenses. The fortress was a decoy of no real value. By the sixth day of the siege, Imperial Fists Space Marines were fighting individually, without support, using the bodies of their own battle brothers for cover.
罗格·多恩期待着一场光荣的战斗，但事实并非如此。从将降落的四个帝国之拳连队从轨道支援中隔离出来开始，佩图拉博开始小心地分裂敌人，并将其逐一摧毁。一些帝国之拳设法穿透了防御工事，到达了永恒堡垒的中心，却发现那里没有中央要塞 — 只是一个被更多防御工事监视的开放空间。这座堡垒是一个没有真正价值的诱饵。到围城的第六天，帝国之拳星际战士在没有支援的情况下，利用自己战斗兄弟的尸体作为掩护，单独作战。
The siege of the Eternal Fortress lasted for a further three weeks. Relief came only in the form of Roboute Guilliman and a force of Ultramarines. The sacrifice of over four hundred loyalist Marines' gene-seed paved the way for Perturabo's ascension to Daemon Prince. Following this, the Iron Warriors retreated into the Eye of Terror and Perturabo crowned the world of Medrengard as the new home of the Legion. Since then, Perturabo has remained on Medrengard while his Legion continues the Long War while warbands periodically battle one another. Their grudge against the Sons of Dorn has, however, endured the long millennia, and even now, the Iron Warriors take great pleasure in tearing down the defences of the Imperial Fists.
对永恒要塞的围攻又持续了三个星期。救援只以罗伯特·基里曼和极限战士部队的形式出现。四百多名牺牲的忠诚派星际战士的基因种子为佩图拉博升格恶魔王子铺平了道路。在此之后，钢铁勇士撤退到恐惧之眼，佩图拉博将梅林德加德世界加冕为军团的新家园。从那时起，佩图拉博一直留在梅林德加德，而他的军团继续进行长期战争，而战士们则定期相互作战。然而，他们对多恩之子的怨恨已经持续了数千年，即使是现在，钢铁勇士也非常乐意拆除帝国之拳的防御。

A major crisis hit the Iron Warriors when in 600.M34 a civil war shattered the Legion into various warbands.
600.M34，一场内战将军团分裂成多个战帮，钢铁勇士遭遇了一场重大危机。
The Iron Warriors pay homage to the Chaos Gods as a pantheon, though few of them are especially devoted. Their primary loyalty is to Perturabo, who they view as having saved from from being sacrificed in the galactic ambitions of the Emperor.
钢铁勇士向混沌诸神致敬，将其视为万神殿，尽管他们中很少有人特别忠诚。他们的主要忠诚对象是佩图拉博，他们认为佩图拉博没有让他们在帝皇的银河野心中被牺牲。
In the aftermath of the 13th Black Crusade, the Iron Warriors have expanded into the Imperium Nihilus, raising enormous, hideous citadels in their wake; monuments of their own malice, cruelty, and ego. These are often jagged towers, surrounded by living razor wire and daemon-haunted trenches. They hold a particular reputation as Warp-Masons and martial engineers as a result of this.
在第13次黑色远征之后，钢铁勇士已经扩展到帝国暗面，在他们身后建立了巨大而丑陋的城堡；他们自己的恶意、残忍和自我的纪念碑。这些通常是锯齿状的塔楼，周围是活生生的铁丝网和恶魔出没的战壕。因此，他们作为亚空间石匠和军事工程师享有特殊的声誉。

They have an efficiency about them that makes their corruption all the darker. It lies deep indeed to leave the surface undisturbed. Discipline without, but in their hearts is a deviance I am glad I cannot imagine. - Reclusiarch Lycaon of the Imperial Fists.
他们的效率使他们的腐化更加严重。它确实很深，让表面不受干扰。没有纪律，但在他们心中是一种越轨行为，我很高兴我无法想象。-帝国之拳隐修士莱卡恩。
Pre-Heresy 叛乱前
Even before being reunited with their Primarch Perturabo the Iron Warriors were known for an affinity with technology and the clinical application of logic to military problems. This affinity was channeled by Perturabo, a skilled practitioner of siegecraft, into the mastery of that form of warfare. These abilities were increased by cross-training with the Mechanicum. The Iron Warriors' Warsmiths could match skills with Magi and it is said that Perturabo could beat any and all in the art of machine engineering. Their methodical attitude made them merciless men in battle and siege. After the siege works were built there was a choice given to the besiegers; either to throw down their arms then and there or the Iron Warriors would show no mercy. Just like many other Legions they soon gained the reputation of brutality during siege, not to mention their merciless manner after the siege had taken place.
甚至在与他们的原体佩图拉博重聚之前，钢铁勇士就以对技术的亲和力和逻辑在军事问题上的应用而闻名。这种亲和力是由熟练的攻城造物专业人员佩图拉博引导的，他掌握了这种形式的战争。通过与机械教的交叉训练，这些能力得到了提高。钢铁勇士的战争铁匠可以与贤者的技艺匹敌，据说佩图拉博可以在机械工程领域击败任何人。他们有条不紊的态度使他们在战斗和围攻中成为无情的人。攻城工事建成后，围攻者有了选择；要么当场放下武器，要么钢铁勇士毫不留情。就像许多其他军团一样，他们在围城期间很快就获得了残暴的名声，更不用说围城后他们无情的态度了。
Pre-Heresy Iron Warrior Space Marine 叛乱前钢铁勇士星际战士
A number of warrior societies within the Legion also existed during this time, most notably the Dodekatheon, Apolakron, Kheledakos, and Lyssatra. It also maintained a special unit known as the Stor-Bezashk, which commanded mighty siege weapons unseen outside of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Ordo Reductor itself. The Iron Warriors suffered a great deal of dispersion during the Great Crusade, with various units being detached for separate siege and garrison missions.
在此期间，军团中还存在着许多战士结社，最著名的是多徳卡瑟昂、阿伯拉克隆、赫勒达考斯和利萨特拉。它还维持着一个名为破城宿卫的特种部队，该部队指挥着强大的攻城武器，这些武器在机械神教的源还修会之外是看不见的。在大远征期间，钢铁勇士遭受了大量的分散，各种部队被派遣执行单独的围攻和驻军任务。
The strategic command of the Legion was overseen by Grand Battalions, which functioned similarly to a Chapter, but had a larger stockpile of armour, artillery, and logistical support than other Legions. The Iron Warriors had a notably high rate of attrition, so the strength of Grand Battalions fluctuated: some had as few as 500 Legionaries and others had in excess of 4,000. Severely depleted Grand Battalions were folded together into active units. Grand Battalions were commonly divided into Cohorts or Grand Companies. Below these were Line Companies and Armour Centuries. The companies had roughly 100 Legionaries and the centuries had a range of 20 to 50 armour units. In each Grand Battalion there were elements of the Tyranthikos, informally known as the Dominators - these were the Legion's Terminator veterans.
军团的战略指挥由大营监督，大营的职能类似于一个军团，但拥有比其他军团更大的装甲、火炮和后勤支援。钢铁勇士的消耗率非常高，因此大营的兵力波动较大：一些只有500名军团士兵，而另一些则有4000多名。严重耗尽的大营被合并成现役部队。大营通常分为大队或大连。下面是线连和装甲百人队。这些连队大约有100名军团士兵，几个世纪以来有20到50格装甲部队。在每个大营中都有僭主的成员，非正式地称为统御者，他们是军团的终结者老兵。
Tactically, Iron Warriors were organised as a number of Grand Companies each commanded by a Warsmith. Originally each Grand Company would have had a similar organisation, totaling around 1,000 Space Marines. At the time of the Horus Heresy, the Legion had at least twelve Companies, although with the widespread deployment of many small detachments of the Legion at the time it is impossible to be sure if this figure of around 12,000 fighting Astartes was their maximum strength. The overall size of the Legion was between 150,000 and 180,000 Marines.
从战术上讲，钢铁勇士由多个大连组成，每个大连由一名战争铁匠指挥。最初，每个大连都有一个类似的组织，总共约有1000名星际战士。在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，军团至少有12个连队，尽管当时军团的许多小分队被广泛部署，但无法确定这一约12000名战斗阿斯塔特的数字是否是他们的最大兵力。军团的总规模在15万至18万名星际战士之间。
The Iron Warriors possessed a substantial war fleet of over 100 capital class ships.
钢铁勇士拥有一支由100多艘主力级战舰组成的庞大舰队。
Current 当前
Their current organisation is completely non-standard, particularly after their civil war fragmented the Legion. A Grand Company will often be divided into component detachments led by lesser champions. A tendency towards operating in multiples of three has been noted. While their Primarch remains in his fortress at Medrengard, the Iron Warriors are now almost exclusively led by Warsmiths who command Grand Companies. A Warsmith is a high-ranking leader within the Iron Warriors Legion with control of a Grand Company, seemingly similar to a Chapter Master with several companies led by Chaos Champions still called Captains. Those warlords of theirs who manifest a superior understanding of the relationship between Daemon and machine are known as Daemonsmiths.
他们目前的组织完全不规范，特别是在他们的内战分裂了军团之后。大连通常会被分成由较小冠军领导的分队。已经注意到以3的倍数操作的趋势。虽然他们的原体仍留在梅林德加德的堡垒里，但钢铁勇士现在几乎完全由指挥大连的战争铁匠领导。战争铁匠是钢铁勇士军团中的高级领导者，控制着一个大连，似乎类似于一个战团长，由混沌冠军领导的几个连队仍然被称为连长。那些对恶魔和机械之间的关系表现出卓越理解的战争领主被称为恶魔铁匠。
Iron Warriors in action 行动中的钢铁勇士
The Iron Warriors are known to pursue their recruitment programs aggressively, notably capturing a sizable source of pure gene-seed from the facility on Hydra Cordatus and using it to hot-house new Iron Warriors using a chaotic techno-organic method. These new Iron Warriors are selected periodically by Warsmiths for their Grand Companies and subjected to various ordeals until they prove themselves worthy.
众所周知，钢铁勇士积极推行招募计划，特别是从九头蛇之心的设施中夺取了大量纯结基因种子，并使用混沌的有机技术方法将其用于培养新的钢铁勇士。这些新的钢铁勇士由战争铁匠定期为他们的大连挑选，并经受各种考验，直到他们证明自己值得。
The first Obliterators witnessed amongst Chaos forces were amongst the Iron Warriors and, on rare occasions, Iron Warriors have manifested the ability to 'morph' weapons, although with nothing like the versatility of true Obliterators. Iron Warriors hate mutations so they cut off and replace all mutated limbs with cybernetics. Many of these cybernetics are, in turn, daemonically infused to the point of resembling the mutated Obliterators.
混沌部队中第一批见证的泯灭者是钢铁勇士，钢铁勇士在极少数情况下表现出“变化”武器的能力，尽管没有真正的泯灭者的多功能性。钢铁勇士讨厌突变，所以他们切断并用智控部件替换所有突变的肢体。反过来，这些智控部件中的许多都被注入恶魔，以至于类似于突变泯灭者。
Tactics 战术
The Iron Warriors are unparalleled masters of siege warfare as well as of building defensive fortifications and fortresses. They frequently set up field fortifications after making an initial landing. Right after they set up their field fortifications and before the initial bombardment, the Iron Warriors will commonly send infiltration units ahead of the main force to disable the enemy's defences, set up ambushes and conduct flank attacks while the main force equipped mainly with heavily armoured vehicles such as Predators, Land Raiders and Vindicators charges the fortifications. Their attacks are slow and methodical, and once the enemy is at their mercy they will destroy them at their leisure. Wherever possible, they make frequent use of the Traitor Titan Legions, so much so that some Imperial analysts believe the Titans to be part of the Legion itself.
钢铁勇士是无与伦比的攻城战大师，也是建造防御工事和堡垒的大师。他们经常在初次登陆后建立野战防御工事。在他们建立野战防御工事之后，在最初的轰炸之前，钢铁勇士通常会在主力部队之前派遣渗透部队，以摧毁敌人的防御工事，伏击并进行侧翼攻击，而主力部队主要配备重型装甲，如掠食者、兰德掠袭者和维护者，对防御工事进行冲锋。他们的攻击缓慢而有条不紊，一旦敌人被他们摆布，他们就会随意摧毁他们。只要有可能，他们就会频繁使用叛徒泰坦军团，以至于一些帝国分析家认为泰坦军团本身就是军团的一部分。
Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines 钢铁勇士混沌星际战士
The Iron Warriors are expert sappers and engineers and have acquired a variety of siege engines over the years, including Termites, Dreadclaws, a large assortment of Imperial-made artillery and Leviathans. These are used sparingly and are maintained and guarded by the 1st Company. Additionally, they use a large number of Corvus Assault Pods which allow them to make use of any Titans and use them as mobile siege towers.
钢铁勇士是专业的工兵和工程师，多年来获得了各种攻城引擎，包括白蚁、恐怖爪、各种帝国制造的火炮和利维坦。这些被谨慎使用，并由第一连队维护和保护。此外，他们使用大量的渡鸦突击舱，这使他们能够使用任何泰坦并将其用作移动攻城塔。
Wherever the Iron Warriors fight, they raise great citadels in their wake and convert their newly acquired territories into heavily fortified deathtraps for any attacker. Besides their skill in material engineering, they have also become skilled warp-masons and wield potent weapons of heretical design. Wherever possible, the Iron Warriors seek out the sons of Rogal Dorn as foes in order to tear down their edifices and prove their worth.
无论钢铁勇士在哪里战斗，他们都会在身后建造巨大的城堡，并将新获得的领土变成对任何的攻击者重兵把守的死亡陷阱。除了在材料工程方面的技能外，他们还成为了熟练的亚空间石匠，并使用了叛乱设计的强大武器。只要有可能，钢铁勇士就会寻找罗格·多恩的子嗣作为敌人，拆除他们的建筑并证明他们的价值。
Many who face the Iron Warriors have believed that, due to their emphasis on long-ranged bombardments and grueling sieges, that the Legion can be overwhelmed with a swift assault. The Iron Warriors are thoroughly experienced in brutal, close-quarters combat from their lengthy sieges and are just as capable of crushing their enemies in hammer-blows of personal combat as they are from exhaustive bombardment.
许多面对钢铁勇士的人认为，由于他们强调远程轰炸和艰苦的围困，军团可以被快速的攻击所压倒。钢铁勇士在漫长的围困中经历了残酷的近距离战斗，他们在个人战斗的锤击中能够粉碎敌人，就像他们在彻底的轰炸中一样。
Culture 文化
Originally, during the days of the Great Crusade, the Iron Warriors were known for their stoic, cold, and dour nature. However, as the Crusade continued and their feats were not acknowledged, this demeanour turned to resentment, bitterness and an inclination to take offence. Any sign of compassion or failure was seen as a weakness and would result in immediate shame or punishment, as was the case with the likes of Barabas Dantioch following the Sak'trada Deeps Campaign.
最初，在大远征期间，钢铁勇士以坚忍、冷酷和阴沉的天性而闻名。然而，随着大远征的继续，他们的功绩没有得到承认，这种行为变成了怨恨、苦涩和冒犯的倾向。任何同情或失败的迹象都被视为一种软弱，会导致立即的耻辱或惩罚，就像萨克’特拉达深渊战役后的巴拉巴斯·丹提欧克等人一样。
Iron Warriors in battle 战斗中的钢铁勇士
Iron Warriors came to harbour huge pent up rage, particularly against the Imperial Fists and their Primarch Rogal Dorn to whom they were often compared. This precipitated their corruption by Chaos during the ensuing Horus Heresy, but the Iron Warriors maintain absolute loyalty to Perturabo before any individual God of Chaos. The Iron Warriors revere their Daemon Primarch, whom they believe saved them from being sacrificed by the Emperor.
钢铁勇士开始怀有巨大的被压抑的愤怒，尤其是对帝国之拳及其原体罗格·多恩的愤怒，他们经常被拿来与他们进行比较。这加速了他们在随后的荷鲁斯叛乱中被混沌所腐化，但钢铁勇士在任何一位混沌之神面前都对佩图拉博保持着绝对的忠诚。钢铁勇士崇敬他们的恶魔原体，他们相信是他救了他们免于被帝皇牺牲。
Outside of battle, the Iron Warriors would always hone their craft for warfare. They maintained a number of warrior societies to this end, such as the Lyssatra, Apolakron, Dodekatheon and Kheledakos. Iron Warriors would practice battle tactics and simulate battles by engaging in mock battles with one another using tabletop miniatures. More than mere games, such simulations were taken with dire seriousness by Iron Warriors legionnaires.
在战斗之外，钢铁勇士总是会磨练他们的战斗技能。为此，他们维持了许多战士结社，如利萨特拉、阿伯拉克隆、多徳卡瑟昂和赫勒达考斯。钢铁勇士将通过使用桌面微缩模型进行模拟战斗来练习战术和模拟战斗。不仅仅是游戏，钢铁勇士军团对这种模拟非常认真。
Ten thousand years later, the Iron Warriors still maintain the same pride, resentment, ferocity and icy methodology, especially against the Imperial Fists or any of their successor Chapters. Their anger often manifests into cruelty, and they will gladly enslave and exterminate the citizens of the Imperium in massive numbers. The Legion as a whole cares little for their own and even Perturabo was known to callously destroy ships of his own fleet if they were in the path of his flagship Iron Blood, and was know to strike down his own sons as a way to vent anger. This attitude extends to the Iron Warriors themselves, and they are known to violently settle old feuds and grudges with one another under the cover of battle.
一万年后，钢铁勇士仍然保持着同样的骄傲、怨恨、凶猛和冷酷的方法，尤其是对帝国之拳或其任何子战团。他们的愤怒往往表现为残忍，他们很乐意大量奴役和消灭帝国的公民。军团作为一个整体并不关心他们自己，甚至众所周知，佩图拉博会无情地摧毁他自己舰队的船只，如果这些船只在他的旗舰“铁血号”的路上，并且知道他会为了发泄愤怒而杀死自己的子嗣。这种态度也延伸到了钢铁勇士本身，众所周知，他们会在战斗的掩护下暴力解决彼此之间的宿怨。
Iron Warrior 钢铁勇士
Unbreakable Litany 不破祷文
From the time before the Horus Heresy, the Unbreakable Litany has been a meditative chant and battle-cry for the Iron Warriors, used by Perturabo himself:
从荷鲁斯叛乱之前开始，不破祷文一直是钢铁勇士的冥想颂歌和战斗口号，由佩图拉博自己使用：
"From Iron, cometh Strength. From Strength, cometh Will. From Will, cometh Faith. From Faith, cometh Honour. From Honour, cometh Iron. This is the Unbreakable Litany, and may it forever be so"
“力量从钢铁而来。意志从力量而来。信仰从意志而来。荣誉从信仰而来。钢铁从荣誉中来。这就是不破祷文，愿它永远如此。”
Gene-Seed 基因种子
During the Unification Wars and Great Crusade the Iron Warriors' gene-seed was said to show above-average rates of adaptability and low rates of implant rejection. This was present even before the capture of Selenar gene-labs during the First Pacification of Luna, allowing for the Legion to rapidly grow in size even before the Great Crusade had expanded outside the Sol System. Serving in large numbers early on alongside the I Legion and V Legion, their easily mass-produced gene-seed saw them always boast heavy numbers despite the great attrition rates endured during the Crusade and subsequent Heresy.
在统一战争和大远征期间，据说钢铁勇士的基因种子表现出高于平均水平的适应性和较低的植入排斥率。这甚至在月球第一次平定期间赛琳娜基因实验室被占领之前就存在了，这使得军团在大远征扩展到太阳系之外之前就迅速扩大了规模。早期与第一军团和第五军团一起大量服役，他们易于大规模生产的基因种子使他们总是拥有大量的成员，尽管在大远征和随后的叛乱期间经历了巨大的消耗。
Today, extended time within the Eye of Terror has seen the corruption of much of their gene-seed. Many Iron Warriors become corrupted and sport mutations that are sometimes replaced with cybernetic limbs. Those implanted with Iron Warriors gene-seed are thought to suffer from varying degrees of suspicion and paranoia, but also extremely intelligent and possessing high problem solving abilities.
今天，在恐惧之眼的漫长时间里，他们的大部分基因种子都遭到了破坏。许多钢铁勇士变得腐化，肢体突变有时会被智控肢体所取代。那些植入了钢铁勇士基因种子的人被认为患有不同程度的怀疑和偏执，但也非常聪明，具有很高的解决问题的能力。
