The World Eaters, originally known as the War Hounds, were the XII Legion of the original twenty Space Marine Legions. Their Primarch is Angron, sometimes known as The Lord of the Red Sands or the Red Angel. The Legion was amongst the first to turn traitor during the Horus Heresy. Already known for their peerless martial savagery - thanks in part to the effects of the psycho-surgical implants known as the Butcher's Nails that most of their members possessed - the World Eaters would eventually devolve into a legion of blood-crazed maniacs dedicated to the Chaos God Khorne, glorying in violence and slaughter and with no other purpose than spilling blood and taking skulls in the name of their god. After the catastrophic Battle of Skalathrax, they were scattered into disparate warbands, and have rarely fought as a unified Legion since.
吞世者，最初被称为战犬，是最初的二十个星际战士军团中的第十二军团。他们的原体是安格隆，有时被称为红沙之主或红天使。在荷鲁斯叛乱期间，军团是第一批叛变的人之一。吞世者以其无与伦比的军事野蛮而闻名，部分原因是他们大多数成员所拥有的被称为屠夫之钉的灵能外科植入物的影响，他们最终会演变成一个致力于混沌之神恐虐的疯狂的鲜血军团，在暴力和屠杀中沾沾自喜，除了以他们的神的名义流血和夺取颅骨外，没有其他目的。在灾难性的斯卡拉特拉克斯之战之后，他们分散成不同的战帮，自那以后很少作为一个统一的军团作战。
Alongside the Space Wolves their warriors are some of the deadliest close combat fighters in the galaxy, amongst whom are counted large numbers of the infamous Khorne Berserkers.

The Great Crusade 大远征
Formation 形成
The Twelfth Legion was formed on Terra, from no particular geographic recruiting ground. Fragmentary records do suggest, however, that during the formation process of the legion, an experimental screening process may have resulted in the initial intakes being formed from the most aggressive and competitive of candidates. While this cannot be confirmed with certainty, early records of the Legion do note that it was considered a highly aggressive, hot-blooded, and savage force.
第十二军团是在泰拉上成立的，没有特定的地理招募地。然而，零散的记录确实表明，在军团的组建过程中，一个实验性的筛选过程可能导致最初的录取对象是最具攻击性和竞争力的候选人。虽然这不能得到肯定的证实，但军团的早期记录确实指出，它被认为是一支极具侵略性、热血和野蛮的部队。
Great Crusade era War Hounds shoulderpad 大远征时期战犬肩甲
The nascent, relatively small Legion was deployed in the Unification Wars, their first recorded engagement being the Sa'afrik Liberation. However, for reasons unknown, after their initial battles they were largely held in the Imperial reserve right through the rest of Terran Unification and even throughout the conquest of the Sol System. While the true reasons for this withdrawal from the front-lines are unknown, one suggested reason was that they were simply kept off the board in case a sudden mishap in the Imperial campaigns resulted in a need for swift, fresh reinforcement. Another, more whispered proposed reason, is that they were deliberately held in check in case any disloyalty among the Emperor's troops emerged, and needed to be quickly ended.
新生的、相对较小的军团被部署在统一战争中，他们的第一次有记录的交战是萨’弗里克解放。然而，由于未知的原因，在他们最初的战斗之后，他们在整个泰拉统一时期，甚至在整个征服太阳系的过程中，大部分都被安置在帝国保留地。虽然从前线撤军的真正原因尚不清楚，但一个可能的原因是，他们只是被排除在外，以防帝国战役中突然发生意外，需要迅速、新的增援。另一个更为隐秘的原因是，他们被故意控制住了，以防帝皇的军队出现任何不忠行为，需要迅速结束。
Nonetheless, the Legion continued to grow and determinedly train for war. This dedication, as well as their savage and tenacious demeanour during the few times they were deployed in combat during this period, reportedly led to the Emperor himself dubbing the XII Legion as his War Hounds. In prideful recognition of this honour, the Twelfth adopted a red hound as their insignia.
尽管如此，军团仍在继续壮大，并坚定地为战争进行训练。据报道，这种奉献精神，以及他们在此期间被部署在战斗中的几次野蛮和顽强的行为，导致帝皇亲自将第十二军团称为他的战犬。为了自豪地承认这一荣誉，第十二军团采用了一只红色猎犬作为他们的徽章。
Combat Disposition and Record 作战部署和记录
Like most Space Marine Legions, the combat disposition of the legion altered upon the discovery of their Primarch. Although, for the Twelfth Legion, this was both a relatively minor and massively damning alteration at one and the same time.
与大多数星际战士军团一样，军团的战斗部署在发现他们的原体后发生了变化。虽然，对于第十二军团来说，这既是一个相对较小的改变，也是一个巨大的毁灭性改变。
The Early Crusade 远征早期
The War Hounds were finally unleashed as a legion force partly by circumstance. The Imperial colony on Cerberus rose up in rebellion, and it quickly became apparent that Space Marine forces were needed to quell the insurrection. The Great Crusade having begun, most of the Space Marine Legions had already been assigned to Expedition Fleets and sent out into the wider galaxy. The Emperor was therefore minded to activate the War Hounds, sending them to Cerberus personally, with instructions to carry his wrath to those that defied him. Cerberus was invaded at 0300 hours Terran; the all-clear signal was transmitted by the War Hounds' commander at 0808. When asked how many prisoners were waiting to be processed, the War Hounds' commander replied that he had not been ordered to take any. Attached Imperial Army troops, sent into Cerberus in the aftermath, reported discovering scenes of shocking butchery and indication of massive casualties, on both sides.
战犬最终被释放为军团力量，部分原因是环境。刻耳柏洛斯上的帝国殖民地爆发了叛乱，很快就很明显，需要星际战士来平息叛乱。大远征已经开始，大多数星际战士已经被分配到远征舰队，并被派往更广阔的星系。因此，帝皇打算激活战犬，亲自将它们送到刻耳柏洛斯，并指示将他的愤怒带给那些反抗他的人。刻耳柏洛斯于0300泰拉时被入侵；0808，战犬指挥官发出了解除警报的信号。当被问及有多少囚犯等待处理时，战犬的指挥官回答说，他没有接到任何命令。随后被派往刻耳柏洛斯的附属帝国军队报告称，双方都发现了令人震惊的屠杀场面和大规模伤亡的迹象。

The Bloody 13th 血腥十三
As the Great Crusade progressed, the XIIth Legion was split into a number of independent commands, each many thousands of Space Marines strong. These detachments were notionally used as reserve elements for other Crusade forces, but are in fact recorded as being used as front-line assault troops in many successful campaigns, fighting alongside brother legions such as the First Legion, the Iron Warriors and the Space Wolves. Additionally, War Hounds reserves would be sent in to provide a killing edge to various Imperial Army formations in troublesome war-zones. These deployments created the reputation of the War Hounds; they became known Crusade-wide as vicious shock-troops, whose actions were not without cost. It was said that a War Hounds deployment had only two outcomes; glorious, victorious slaughter...or just slaughter. Additionally, rumours began to circulate that the War Hounds were intemperate with all those who stood in their path, friend and foe alike. Stories of the legion culling human regiments whose performance they found wanting began to spread. The truth of these rumours could not easily be determined; the War Hounds deliberately kept their distance from other Legiones Astartes elements where possible. The only definite fact noted about the legion during this time was that they possessed an unusually harsh code of internal discipline, necessitated apparently by their own fractious nature.
随着大远征的推进，第十二军团被分成了许多独立的指挥，每个指挥都有数千名星际战士。这些分遣队名义上被用作其他远征的预备役部队，但事实上被记录为在许多成功的战役中被用作前线突击部队，与第一军团、钢铁勇士和太空野狼等兄弟军团并肩作战。此外，将派遣战犬预备队，为麻烦战区的各种帝国陆军编队提供杀伤优势。这些部署创造了战犬的声誉；他们在远征中被称为恶毒的突击部队，他们的行动并非没有代价。据说，部署战犬只有两个结果；光荣而胜利的屠杀…或者只是屠杀。此外，谣言开始流传，说猎犬对所有挡在他们面前的人，无论是朋友还是敌人，都大发雷霆。军团扑杀表现不佳的人类兵团的故事开始流传开来。这些谣言的真相很难确定；在可能的情况下，战犬故意与其他军团成员保持距离。在此期间，关于军团唯一明确的事实是，他们拥有异常严厉的内部纪律，这显然是由于他们自己的暴躁脾气所必需的。
The principal concentration of War Hounds astartes (around 8,000 Legionaries) had been grouped into the 13th Expeditionary Fleet, alongside dedicated support and naval elements. As the Crusade wore on and the various Legions grew in size to the point where they no longer needed a standing reserve reinforcement force, the scattered units of War Hounds were consolidated into the 13th Fleet, upon the legion muster-world of Bodt. Added to the 13th were many other Imperial forces, especially those who had similarly dark or questionable reputations for violence, particularly Feral World and Abhuman troops. Notable additions to the 13th were the Titans of Legio Audax and the warriors of the Numen Gun Clans, both powerful elements whose conduct had fallen under a pall of suspicion and distrust. It is believed this particular grouping was a deliberate choice by the War Council to corral into one force all the Imperial elements which had shown a tendency to cause massive destruction and loss of enemy life during their campaigns, so that the Imperium had a formation at hand that could be deployed where the total annihilation of the enemy and their works was desired. The war record of all of these various forces led to the 13th Expeditionary Fleet becoming known as "The Bloody 13th" in various Imperial circles.
主要集中的战犬（约8000名军团士兵）与专门的支援和海军部队一起被编入第13远征舰队。随着远征的进行，各军团的规模越来越大，不再需要常备后备增援部队，分散的战犬部队被整合到第13舰队，在博德特的军团集结世界。除了13，还有许多其他帝国军队，尤其是那些在暴力方面有着类似黑暗或可疑声誉的军队，特别是蛮荒世界和亚人军队。第13远征舰队中值得注意的新增成员是莽勇军团的泰坦和努曼枪炮氏族的战士，这两支强大的部队的行为都笼罩在怀疑和不信任的阴影之下。据信，这种特殊的分组是战争议会的一个深思熟虑的选择，将所有在战役中表现出造成大规模破坏和敌人生命损失倾向的帝国分子集中到一支部队中，这样帝国就有了一个可以部署在需要彻底消灭敌人及其造物的地方的编队。所有这些不同部队的战争记录导致第13远征舰队在帝国各界被称为“血腥13”。

The Eaters of Cities 吞城者
Angron, the primarch of the Twelfth, had been stranded on Nuceria, a technologically advanced planet with a poor and downtrodden population ruled over by an elite class of nobles. The most popular form of entertainment for the masses was gladiatorial duels between cyber-enhanced warriors, and destiny had it that one of the gladiator slavers would find the young Primarch. Angron was badly wounded when he was discovered, in one account surrounded by the corpses of native predators, in another surrounded by the bodies of xenos warriors.The young Angron survived his capture, and his first bouts in the gladiator pits. Initially thought of as a folly by his new masters, his unexpected prowess in the pits made them see him in a new light. As was the want on the world where the gladiators were concerned, they attempted to surgically and cybernetically enhance their slave. Angron's primarch nature meant that all of these attempts would fail; all except one. The Nucerian slavers were successful in implanting Angron with psycho-surgical devices known as the Butcher's Nails, devices which would enhance his aggression to truly super-human levels.
第十二军团的原体安格隆被困在努凯里亚，这是一个技术先进的行星，人口贫穷，受压迫，由贵族精英阶层统治。大众最受欢迎的娱乐形式是智控增强战士之间的角斗士决斗，命运注定，其中一个角斗士奴隶会找到年轻的原体。安格隆被发现时受了重伤，一种说法是被当地掠食者的尸体包围，另一种说法则是被异型战士的尸体包围。年轻的安格隆在被捕后幸存下来，并在角斗士坑的第一场比赛中幸存下来。最初被他的新主人认为是愚蠢的，他在坑里出乎意料的实力让他们以新的眼光看待他。正如角斗士们所关心的世界一样，他们试图通过手术和智控来增强他们的奴隶。安格隆的原体本质意味着所有这些尝试都会失败；除了一个。努凯里亚奴隶主成功地为安格隆植入了被称为屠夫之钉的灵能外科植入物，这些装置将使他的攻击性提高到真正的超人水平。
Angron, the Lord of the Red Sands 安格隆，红沙之主
The discontented Angron plotted his escape for years, before finally leading his fellow gladiators in an armed revolt. A revolt doomed to fail, however, for the forces under the nobles vastly outnumbered the gladiator band. Although aware of this eventual doom, Angron refused to countenance any other course of action. His rebel force was eventually pursued into the mountains by no less than five armies, each outnumbering his own ten times or more. It was then that the Emperor - who had been secretly watching his son's actions with pride for some time - chose to intervene. Coming to Angron, he offered him his birthright; a place by his side. To the Emperor's surprise, Angron rejected the offer, instead choosing to remain and die by the side of his gladiator brethren. The Emperor would not accept this refusal, however, and the night before the final battle he teleported Angron from the field and to safety. Angron's followers - named the Eaters of Cities - were massacred to the last man and woman on the following morning.
不满的安格隆策划了多年的逃亡，最终带领他的角斗士同伴进行了武装反抗。然而，一场注定要失败的起义，因为贵族统治下的军队远远超过了角斗士。尽管意识到这一最终的厄运，安格隆拒绝支持任何其他的行动过程。他的叛军最终被不少于五支军队追击到山区，每支军队的数量都是自己的十倍或更多。就在那时，帝皇 — 一段时间以来，他一直骄傲地秘密看着儿子的行为 — 选择了干预。来到安格隆面前，他给了他与生俱来的权利；他身边的一个位置。令帝皇惊讶的是，安格隆拒绝了这一提议，而是选择留下来，死在他的角斗士兄弟们身边。然而，帝皇不会接受这一拒绝，在最后一场战斗的前一天晚上，他将安格隆从战场传送到安全地带。第二天早上，安格隆的追随者 — 吞城者 — 被屠杀到最后一个男人和女人。
It is said he never forgave his father for the incident, and that the blow to his honour would eventually fester into a soul-deep wound. After Angron was spirited away by the Emperor, he was transferred to a vessel of the awaiting War Hounds. Unlike other meetings between primarchs and their legions, Angron's first contact with his genetic sons was one of extreme violence. Lost in an apparently inconsolable rage over what had just happened to him, Angron brutally murdered every legion officer of the War Hounds who attempted to speak to him, starting with their Legion Master, Gheer. As the War Hounds officers largely attempted to speak to him in order of seniority, their senior officer cadre diminished rapidly. Eventually, the 8th Captain - Khârn - was able to both survive his meeting with Angron, and in fact even forge a tenuous bond with him. When Angron emerged, ready and willing to assume command of his legion, Khârn introduced him to his officers with the phrase "Salute the one whose soldiers were named the Eaters of Cities". One of the officers, Captain Dreagher, issued a response that would result in an momentous occurrence.
据说，他从未原谅过父亲的这一事件，对他荣誉的打击最终会溃烂成灵魂深处的伤口。安格隆被帝皇带走后，他被转移到一艘等待的战犬战舰上。与其他原体和他们的军团之间的会面不同，安格隆与他的子嗣的第一次接触是极端暴力的。安格隆对刚刚发生在他身上的事情感到非常愤怒，他残忍地杀害了每一位试图与他交谈的战犬军团军官，从他们的军团长盖尔开始。由于战犬的军官大多试图按资历顺序与他交谈，他们的高级军官队伍迅速减少。最终，第八连长卡恩在与安格隆的会面中幸存下来，事实上甚至与他建立了微弱的联系。当安格隆出现，准备并愿意接管他的军团时，卡恩用“向被称为吞城者的士兵致敬”这句话将他介绍给他的军官。其中一名军官德雷格尔连长做出了回应，这将导致一场重大事件。
"Primarch! General! Your warriors were eaters of cities, lord, but with you to command us the War Hounds will be eaters of worlds!"
“原体！将军！大人，你的战士是城市的吞噬者，但有了你的命令，战犬将是世界的吞噬者！”
"World Eaters. World Eaters. So shall you be, then, little brothers. Come with me, then, World Eaters."
“吞世者。吞世者。那么，小兄弟们，你们也一样。那么，吞世者们，跟我来。”

The Eaters of Worlds 吞世者
After Angron assumed command of his newly-rechristened legion, they once again mustered upon the world of Bodt, where Angron took stock of his forces. Always possessed of the harshest self-inflicted training regimes in the Space Marine Legions, the World Eaters went to new lengths under Angron's direction, adopting fighting pits and gladiatorial combat into their doctrines. Each warrior who passed the new tests wore scars aplenty to show it. Those who failed did not live to try again. Whatever Terran martial traditions that existed in the War Hounds were erased by Angron's new gladiatorial ones, and by the time the Primarch led his World Eaters from Bodt under their new fanged maw symbol, the World Eaters had embraced Angron's own red code of savage competition and the butchery of the weak. However, Angron still refused to acknowledge his sons, and during their campaigns he ordered them to defeat each targeted world within 31 hours. This was the span of a single Nucerian day and the amount of time it had taken Angron and his army of slave rabble to score their greatest victory. Despite the brutality and even hatred Angron showed his legion, the World Eaters were committed to earning his respect. Meanwhile, Angron had ordered his Apothecarion, under Gahlan Surlak, to replicate his Butcher's Nails and implant the resultant creations into the brains of his legionaries. However, early on the process proved fatal to any marine who dared try to endure the process. Angron proved disgusted with his "weak" sons, and managed to flee to a feral world for two whole years before Kharn found him and convinced him to rejoin the Legion.
在安格隆接管了他新更名的军团后，他们再次聚集在博德特世界，安格隆在那里清点了他的部队。吞世者一直拥有星际战士中最严厉的自我训练制度，在安格隆的指导下，他们走上了新的道路，将战斗坑和角斗士战斗纳入了他们的教义。每一个通过新测试的战士身上都有大量的伤疤来证明这一点。那些失败的人没有机会再试一次。存在于战犬中的泰拉军事传统被安格隆的新角斗士所抹去，当原体从博德特在他们新的尖牙符号下带领他的吞世者时，吞世者已经接受了安格隆的野蛮竞争和屠杀弱者的红色准则。然而，安格隆仍然拒绝承认他的子嗣，在他们的战役中，他命令他们在31小时内击败每个目标世界。这是一个努凯里亚一天的跨度，也是安格隆和他的奴隶乌合之众军队取得最大胜利所花费的时间。尽管安格隆的军团表现出了残暴甚至仇恨，但吞世者仍致力于赢得他的尊重。与此同时，安格隆命令他的药剂师加兰·苏拉克复制他的屠夫之钉，并将由此产生的造物植入他的军团士兵的大脑。然而，在早期，这一过程对任何敢于忍受这一过程的星际战士来说都是致命的。安格隆对他“软弱”的子嗣感到厌恶，并设法逃到一个蛮荒世界整整两年，直到卡恩找到他并说服他重新加入军团。
World Eaters legionary 吞世者军团士兵
Time and time again the World Eaters failed to meet the 31 hour deadline and each time Angron demanded the punishment be decimation, forcing 1 of every 10 World Eaters to be killed by the other 9. After Centurion Mago refused to comply with decimation after the Ghenna Massacre, Angron was thrown into a bloody frenzy and massacred several World Eaters before being subdued by his own Librarians. The episode created a crisis within the Legion that saw Mago lead a revolt when Apothecary Gahlan Surlak announced that he had finally perfected a method for mass production of the Butcher's Nails within the Legion. However, the revolt failed, Mago was slain, and Kharn became the first World Eater to successfully endure the Nails. The result of almost an entire Space Marine Legion 'enhanced' with the aggression engines was seen during what became known as the Ghenna Massacre, an entire planetary population massacred in one night of unparalleled violence. While it is not known how many World Eaters escaped the mandatory nails, at least one, Endryd Haar, managed to do so.
吞世者一次又一次地未能在31小时的最后期限前完成任务，每次安格隆要求的惩罚是抽杀，迫使每10名吞世者中就有1人被其他9人杀死。在根纳大屠杀后，百夫长马戈拒绝服从屠杀，安格隆陷入血腥的疯狂，屠杀了几名吞世者，然后被自己的智库制服。这一事件在军团内部引发了一场危机，当药剂师加兰·苏拉克宣布他终于完善了军团内大规模生产屠夫之钉的方法时，马戈领导了一场起义。然而，起义失败了，马戈被杀，卡恩成为第一个成功忍受钉子的吞世者。在后来被称为根纳大屠杀的事件中，几乎整个星际战士军团都被侵略引擎“增强”了，整个行星的人口在一个无与伦比的暴力之夜被屠杀。虽然尚不清楚有多少吞世者逃脱了强制性的钉子，但至少有一个人，恩德瑞德·哈尔，设法做到了。
Soon the World Eaters would become a byword for mass-scale slaughter and violence, their enemies not merely shot down or blasted to oblivion, but killed to a man in their streets and fortresses. Their legend for brutality became so strong that more than once non-compliant worlds would surrender at the threat of the World Eaters being unleashed upon them. Already a breed apart, Angron's legionaries began to be actively shunned by their fellow Space Marine Legions and spoken of in dread by those Imperial citizens who knew of their actions. The planets upon which the World Eaters fell were not merely crushed - they were destroyed utterly. This caused concern even among hardened Imperial Commanders, not least of whom was Primarch Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines, who decried the atrocities of Angron during the Cleansing of Ariggata. Eventually Leman Russ brought his Space Wolves to confront Angron, bringing word that the Emperor wanted the World Eaters to cease implanting themselves with aggression engines, and to further urge Angron to cease his massacres. What resulted was a brief but bloody confrontation between the World Eaters and Space Wolves, with Angron besting Russ in single combat but allowing himself to become encircled and doomed to be killed by Space Wolves in the process, if they so wished. When it became clear that Angron was a lost cause and did not understand that his own failure to lead resulted in him becoming entrapped, Russ ordered a withdrawal.
很快，吞世者成为大规模屠杀和暴力的代名词，他们的敌人不仅被击倒或被炸得面目全非，而且在他们的街道和堡垒里被杀。他们的残暴传说变得如此强烈，以至于不止一次，不顺从的世界会在吞世者向他们释放的威胁下投降。安格隆的军团已经是一个与众不同的品种，他们开始被他们的星际战士同伴积极回避，并被那些知道他们行为的帝国公民恐惧地谈论。吞世者打下的行星不仅被摧毁，而且被彻底摧毁。这甚至引起了冷漠的帝国指挥官的担忧，其中最重要的是极限战士的原体罗伯特·基里曼，他谴责了安格隆在阿里加塔清洗期间的暴行。最终，黎曼·鲁斯带着他的太空野狼来对抗安格隆，带来了帝皇希望吞世者停止植入侵略引擎的消息，并进一步敦促安格隆停止屠杀。结果是吞世者和太空野狼之间发生了一场短暂而血腥的对抗，安格隆在一场战斗中击败了鲁斯，他自己却被包围了，如果太空野狼愿意，他注定要被太空野狼杀死。当清楚安格隆显然是一个失败的起因，并且不明白他自己的失败导致他陷入困境时，鲁斯下令撤军。
After this event, the Emperor moved to intervene, reprimanding Angron and ordering the prohibition of the Butcher's Nails and similar psycho-surgery. He further ordered the World Eaters out of the main line of the Great Crusade, sending them to the northern fringes of known space to combat xenos instead of human foes. This exile, likely intended as a punishment, instead allowed the World Eaters the freedom to operate without higher Imperial observation; they did not cease from the practices the Emperor had forbidden.
在这件事之后，帝皇采取行动进行干预，谴责安格隆，并下令禁止屠夫之钉和类似的灵能外科植入物。他进一步命令吞世者离开大远征的主要战线，将他们派往已知太空的北部边缘，与异型而不是人类敌人作战。这种流放可能是为了惩罚，让吞世者在没有更高帝国观察的情况下自由行动；他们并没有停止帝皇禁止的做法。
After some period in this 'exile', the Emperor recalled the World Eaters to the line. Still concerned with their conduct, he turned to his favourite and most trusted son, the Warmaster Horus Lupercal, and assigned him the role of mentoring Angron and overseeing the World Eaters, in an attempt to restrain them and return them to more acceptable Imperial modes of conduct. This would prove to be a grievous mistake.
在经历了一段时间的“流放”后，帝皇召回了吞世者。他仍然担心他们的行为，于是求助于他最喜欢、最信任的儿子战帅荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔，并指派他指导安格隆和监督吞世者，试图约束他们，让他们回到更可接受的帝国行为模式。这将被证明是一个严重的错误。
The Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱
Betrayal 背叛
As the hour of the Horus Heresy grew near, Horus had little difficulty corrupting the bitter and unhappy Angron. Horus was able to feed the flames of Angron's discontent with the Emperor's prior behaviour, reinforcing Angron's perception that he had been betrayed and that the Emperor was a moral weakling. When the Sons of Horus broke with the Emperor's Imperium, Angron and the World Eaters were with them.
随着荷鲁斯叛乱的时刻越来越近，荷鲁斯几乎毫不费力地腐化了痛苦和不幸的安格隆。荷鲁斯能够助长安格隆对帝皇先前行为的不满，强化安格隆的看法，即他被背叛了，帝皇是一个道德上的弱者。当荷鲁斯之子与帝皇的帝国决裂时，安格隆和吞世者与他们同在。
Mid-Heresy World Eater Balcoth 叛乱中期吞世者巴尔科斯
Angron and the World Eaters were first known to have worked to Lupercal's ends during the war with the Auretian Technocracy, when Angron's 203rd Expeditionary Fleet linked up with the 63rd of Horus. A war started under false pretences so that Horus could secure valuable STC machines with which to win the loyalty of the Mechanicum, the World Eaters worked in concert with the Sons of Horus to obliterate the Auretian civilisation.
在与奥瑞提亚科技联盟的战争中，当安格隆的第203远征舰队与荷鲁斯的第63远征舰队会合时，人们首先知道安格隆和吞世者已经为卢佩卡尔的目的而努力。一场战争是在虚假的借口下开始的，为了让荷鲁斯能够获得有价值的STC机械，从而赢得机械教的忠诚，吞世者与荷鲁斯之子合作，消灭了奥瑞提亚文明。
When word of the rebellion on Isstvan III arrived, Angron was a member of Horus' war council which determined that the imminent campaign of reconquest on the planet was the perfect opportunity to rid their legions of the personnel believed unlikely to turn against the Emperor. A sizeable grouping of World Eaters was attached to the forces deployed to crush the rebellion, and like all the other victorious warriors, they were betrayed by their fellows in orbit. The Conqueror, the World Eaters Legion flagship, was amongst the vessels which commenced a viral bombardment of the planet.
当伊斯塔万三号叛乱的消息传来时，安格隆是荷鲁斯战争议会的成员，议会决定，即将到来的行星上的重新征服战役是清除他们军团中据信不太可能背叛帝皇的人员的绝佳机会。一大批吞世者附属于部署镇压叛乱的部队，与所有其他获胜的战士一样，他们被轨道上的同伴背叛。征服者号，吞世者军团的旗舰，是开始对行星进行病毒轰炸的战舰之一。
When it became clear that almost two-thirds of the deployed forces had survived the life-eater, Horus made plans to saturation bomb their positions from orbit. However, his stratagem was altered by the actions of Angron, who seemingly decided that the survivors of his legion should be cut down by his own hand. Descending to the surface, with a full 50 companies of World Eaters at his back, Angron made straight for the largest concentration of his own betrayed troops and engaged them in close combat. Watching from orbit in outrage, Horus realised he had no choice but to commit his own ground forces in order to reinforce Angron's move. Thus the Battle of Isstvan III was begun.
当很明显，近三分之二的部署部队幸存下来时，荷鲁斯计划从轨道上对他们的位置进行饱和轰炸。然而，他的战略被安格隆的行动改变了，安格隆似乎决定用自己的手杀死他的军团的幸存者。安格隆带着整整50个连队的吞世者来到表面，直奔他自己背叛的部队最集中的地方，与他们进行了近距离战斗。荷鲁斯愤怒地从轨道上观看，他意识到自己别无选择，只能投入自己的地面部队来加强安格隆的行动。于是，伊斯塔万三号之战开始了。
Tell me why, father. Why stand with the Arch-Traitor?
告诉我为什么，父亲。为什么要和大叛徒站在一起？
I do not stand with Horus. I stand against the Emperor. Do you understand, Kauragar? I am free now. Free.
我不是支持荷鲁斯。我是反抗帝皇。你明白吗，考拉格？我现在自由了。自由。
-World Eaters Centurion Kauragar and the Primarch Angron, after the former's mortal wounding by the latter.
-吞世者百夫长考拉格和原体安格隆，前者被后者致命伤后。
Angron and his second wave of World Eaters spent most of the battle combating and wiping out the World Eaters of the first wave, but were marshalled and brought in for the kill of the last loyalist bastion, after its walls were breached by Titan assault. The final obliteration of the loyalists was to be by orbital bombardment, and Horus ordered his fellow primarchs Mortarion and Fulgrim to drag Angron from the field if he would not quit of his own accord; the World Eaters' strength was to be conserved for the planned Battle of Isstvan V.
安格隆和他的第二波吞世者在战斗的大部分时间里都在与第一波吞世者作战并消灭他们，但在泰坦的进攻突破了最后一个忠诚者的堡垒后，他们被召集起来，准备破坏它。最后一次消灭忠诚者的行动是轨道轰炸，荷鲁斯命令他的其他原体莫塔里安和福格瑞姆将安格隆拖出战场，如果他不自愿退出的话；吞世者的力量将为计划中的伊斯塔万五号之战保留下来。
The Battle of Isstvan V, also known as the Drop Site Massacre, saw Angron and the World Eaters unleashed, their assault splitting the Raven Guard's line of communication from that of the Iron Hands. The World Eaters then turned their ire upon the Raven Guard, causing many casualties in the sable-clad legion. Indeed, the World Eaters seemed to focus on the Raven Guard as their targets even after the battle had been settled in the favour of the traitors. As well as sending out hunter squads after the Raven Guard survivors trapped on the surface, the World Eaters were recorded to undertake a strange and barbaric practice, almost akin to a ritual; they decapitated and flensed the heads of the fallen, stacking them in ossuary-cairns. The significance of this post-battle development would not be truly appreciated by observers of the legion until some time later, but the cairns were noted to have a bizarre and deleterious psychic effect on the Raven Guard marines hiding in the area. Angron himself remained upon Isstvan V, leading the force hunting the Raven Guard personally. Eventually, after 98 days of cat-and-mouse hunting, the World Eaters were able to run the Raven Guard survivors down, launching themselves at their exhausted prey in what would surely be another, final massacre. This was not to be however, as the Raven Guard force - including their primarch, Corax - were rescued by a relief force of their own legion, in what some would come to refer to as a miracle.
伊斯塔万五号之战，也被称为登陆点大屠杀，安格隆和吞世者被释放，他们的攻击将暗鸦守卫的通信线路与钢铁之手的通信线路分开。吞世者随后将怒火转向暗鸦守卫，导致覆影军团多人伤亡。事实上，即使在有利于叛徒的战斗结束后，吞世者似乎仍将暗鸦守卫作为他们的目标。除了在暗鸦守卫幸存者被困在表面后派出狩猎小队外，吞世者还被记录下进行了一种奇怪而野蛮的行为，几乎类似于一种仪式；他们把倒下的人的头砍下来剥皮，堆在骨骸堆里。直到一段时间后，军团的观察员才会真正意识到这一战后发展的重要性，但人们注意到，这些骨堆对躲藏在该地区的暗鸦守卫星际战士有着奇怪而有害的心理影响。安格隆本人留在伊斯塔万五号，亲自率领部队追捕暗鸦守卫。最终，经过98天的猫捉老鼠般的狩猎，吞世者成功地将暗鸦守卫的幸存者击倒，向他们疲惫的猎物发起攻击，这无疑将是另一场最后的大屠杀。然而，事实并非如此，因为暗鸦守卫部队 — 包括他们的原体科拉克斯 — 被他们自己军团的救援部队救出，有些人称之为奇迹。
A Shadowed Purpose 隐秘目的
After the opening of the Great Betrayal, Angron and the World Eaters were invited by the primarch Lorgar to accompany him and a force of his Word Bearers on a campaign into the Ultramar sector; the Shadow Crusade. A force of around 70,000 World Eaters assembled around their Primarch and joined a smaller force of Word Bearers. While Lorgar had a specific first target in mind - Armatura - the World Eaters insisted on attacking four other worlds of Ultramar upon the way, killing all who stood against them. These bloody diversions caused a rise in tensions with the Word Bearers that almost resulted in void-battle between their fleets, but after an Eldar attack on them was jointly repulsed, union of purpose was reached and Armatura was successfully assaulted.
大背叛事件开始后，原体珞珈邀请安格隆和吞世者陪同他和他的一支怀言者部队进入奥特拉玛地区；暗影远征。一支由大约7万名吞世者组成的部队聚集在他们的原体周围，加入了一支规模较小的怀言者部队。虽然珞珈心中有一个具体的第一个目标 — 阿玛图拉，但吞世者坚持在途中攻击奥特拉玛的其他四个世界，杀死所有反抗他们的人。这些血腥的偏离导致了与怀言者的紧张关系加剧，几乎导致了他们舰队之间的无效战斗，但在灵族对他们的袭击被联合击退后，双方达成了目标，阿玛图拉被成功袭击。
It was then that Lorgar revealed to his brother the goals of the campaign; firstly, to finish creation of the Ruinstorm, begun by another force of Word Bearers during the Battle of Calth. Secondly, a more private goal of the Word Bearers primarch; the saving of Angron's life from the Butcher's Nails. Lorgar claimed that his abilities had allowed him to discern that the Nails were slowly killing Angron and destroying his mind. Thus, he had created a second purpose of the ritual necessary to finalise the warp storm's creation, one that would ensure Angron's effective immortality. Exactly what Lorgar meant by this would not become clear until some short time later. To Angron's shock, the final phase of Lorgar's ritual had to be carried out upon Nuceria.
就在那时，珞珈向他的兄弟透露了这场战役的目标；首先，完成毁灭风暴的创造，这是由另一支怀言者部队在考斯之战中开始的。其次，怀言者的首要目标更加私人化；从屠夫之钉中拯救安格隆的生命。珞珈声称，他的能力使他能够辨别出钉子正在慢慢杀死安格隆并摧毁他的思想。因此，他创造了完成亚空间风暴创造所需的仪式的第二个目的，一个确保安格隆有效永生的目的。珞珈所指的确切含义要到不久后才会清楚。令安格隆震惊的是，珞珈仪式的最后阶段必须在努凯里亚进行。
Upon arriving at the planet, a delegation from both legions descended to the long-abandoned battle-site in the Desh'elika Mountains which Angron had been teleported from, and where the Eaters of Cities had died, to find that the bones of Angron's fallen followers had been left to rot in the open air. Enraged by this, Angron led the delegation to the capital, to discover more of what had happened since his discovery and the induction of Nuceria into the Imperium as a compliant world. Learning that the legend of him told on the world portrayed him as a coward who abandoned his army to be slaughtered, Angron issued a simple order to the field commanders of the World Eaters and Word Bearers legions: Kill everything and everyone upon the planet.
抵达这颗行星后，两个军团的一个代表团来到德什’利卡山脉被遗弃已久的战场，那里是安格隆被传送的地方，也是吞城者死亡的地方，他们发现安格隆倒下的追随者的骨头已经在露天腐烂了。对此感到愤怒，安格隆率领代表团前往首都，了解自他发现努凯里亚并将其作为一个顺从的世界引入帝国以来发生的更多事情。得知他在世界上流传的传说将他描绘成一个放弃军队被屠杀的懦夫，安格隆向吞世者和怀言者军团的战地指挥官发出了一个简单的命令：杀死行星上的一切和每个人。
The slaughter would ultimately be interrupted on the sixth day, when an armada belonging to the Ultramarines legion, led by Roboute Guilliman himself, arrived and engaged the traitor forces. Battering aside the enemy fleet, the Ultramarines were able to land ground forces, bringing the legions to battle. During the ground war, the three primarchs present would all meet in hand-to-hand combat, with Lorgar being beaten back, leaving Guilliman and Angron to duel. It was then that Lorgar discerned the fateful moment, the opportunity the slaughter and rage of the war around him and titanic duel in front of him afforded him; the culmination of his ritual to save Angron was at hand. Despite a last-minute attempt to prevent the sorcery by the World Eaters' surviving Librarians, the ritual was completed: now a transcendent being of claws, steaming red flesh, and pure, volcanic rage, Angron roared to the heavens as Guilliman and his Ultramarines withdrew in disarray. The primarch of the World Eaters was transformed.
屠杀最终在第六天中断，当时由罗伯特·基里曼本人领导的属于极限战士军团的舰队抵达并与叛徒部队交战。与敌方舰队作战后，极限战士能够使地面部队登陆，将军团带到战场上。在地面战争期间，在场的三位原体都进行了肉搏战，珞珈被击退，留下基里曼和安格隆决斗。就在那时，珞珈意识到了决定性的时刻，他周围战争的屠杀和愤怒以及面前的巨大决斗为他提供了机会；他拯救安格隆的仪式即将达到高潮。尽管吞世者幸存的智库在最后一刻试图阻止巫术，但仪式还是完成了：现在，安格隆是一个拥有爪子、热气腾腾的红色血肉和纯粹的火山愤怒的超凡生物，当基里曼和他的极限战士混乱地撤退时，他咆哮着冲向天空。吞世者的原体发生了转变。
Following Angron's transformation, the World Eaters went on to rampage world after world in mindless slaughter. They refused all summons by Horus to muster at Ullanor in preparation for the drive on Terra. In the end, it took the Iron Warriors led by Perturabo himself to track Angron and his Legion down on Deluge, eventually being able to bring them to Ullanor.
在安格隆转变之后，吞世者继续在无意识的屠杀中肆虐世界。他们拒绝了荷鲁斯在乌兰诺召集的所有召唤，为在泰拉上的努力做准备。最终，由佩图拉博亲自率领的钢铁勇士在德鲁格上追踪到了安格隆和他的军团，并最终将他们带到了乌兰诺。
Not all World Eaters rendezvoused with Angron, however. Several warbands remained behind in Ultramar, forming Butcher Fleets to oversee their own reign of terror. The bloodthirsty hordes ignored strategically important targets and instead targeted areas with high populations.
然而，并不是所有的吞世者都与安格隆会面。几个战帮留在奥特拉玛，组成屠夫舰队来监督他们自己的恐怖统治。嗜血的部落忽视了具有战略重要性的目标，而是瞄准了人口稠密的地区。

What did you do? Answer me.
你做了什么？回答我。
I saved him, Khârn. It was the only way.
我救了他，卡恩。这是唯一的办法。
-World Eaters Centurion Khârn and the Primarch Lorgar.
-吞世者百夫长卡恩和原体珞珈。
The Siege 围城
The World Eaters were instrumental in the Siege of Terra itself: Legion records claim that it was the World Eaters who made the first breach in the walls of the Imperial Palace, a claim perhaps verified by surviving Imperial vid-logs of the Siege, which show the World Eaters breaching the walls with Angron at their head. However, it is also said that it was one of their champions, Khârn, who was the first to enter said breach. Kharn is said to have fallen during the siege at the hands of Sigismund, while others state he was terribly wounded.
吞世者在泰拉围城中发挥了重要作用：军团记录声称，是吞世者首个突破了皇宫的城墙，这一说法可能得到了幸存的帝国围城视频日志的证实，这些日志显示，吞世者以安格隆为首突破了城墙。然而，也有人说，他们的冠军之一卡恩是第一个进入上述漏洞的人。据说，卡恩在西吉斯蒙德的围攻中倒下了，而其他人则表示他受了重伤。
The World Eaters were at the forefront of the assault on the Eternity Gate at the final stages of the Siege of Terra. Led by Angron himself, the World Eaters nearly reached the doors of the Gate before Angron was defeated in combat by Sanguinius. Angron's banishment to the Warp broke whatever sanity the World Eaters had left, and they began to cut down their own allies. The chaos caused by this act helped break the traitor advance on the Sanctum Imperialis just short of the Eternity Gate.
在泰拉围城的最后阶段，吞世者处于对永恒之门进攻的最前沿。在安格隆本人的带领下，吞世者几乎到达了城门，安格隆在战斗中被圣吉列斯击败。安格隆被放逐到亚空间打破了吞世者剩下的理智，他们开始削减自己的盟友。这一行为造成的混乱有助于打破叛徒在距离永恒之门不远的帝国圣地的推进。
Post-Heresy 叛乱后
In the end, the Forces of Chaos were defeated at Terra and the World Eaters fought their way to the Eye of Terror along with the other Traitor Legions. During this time, a large portion of the Legion was separated from Angron, with many coming under the control of former Devourers officer Goghur. They had no means of resupply or reinforcement and their ships were badly damaged. Under these conditions, even more of the Legion succumbed fully to the Butcher's Nails. Many of these warriors were imprisoned as feral animals to be unleashed later, while others were simply executed or even forced into the shell of a Dreadnought. With Kharn either dead or terribly wounded, the Legion found itself without cohesive leadership and their brotherhood fell apart as different Captains and Warlords fought for supremacy.
最后，混沌部队在泰拉被击败，吞世者与其他叛徒军团一起战斗到了恐惧之眼。在此期间，军团的很大一部分从安格隆分离出来，许多人受到前吞世者军官戈古尔的控制。他们没有补给或增援的手段，他们的战舰严重受损。在这种情况下，更多的军团士兵完全屈服于屠夫之钉。这些战士中的许多人被囚禁为野兽，稍后被释放，而其他人则被简单地处决，甚至被强迫进入无畏机甲。由于卡恩要么死亡，要么重伤，军团发现自己没有凝聚力的领导，随着不同的连长和战争领主争夺霸权，他们的兄弟情谊分崩离析。
Post-Heresy World Eater 叛乱后吞世者
These issues came to a head during the Legion Wars in battle for Skalathrax against a much larger Emperor's Children army. As the World Eaters debated what to do, Kharn finally awoke from his injuries and led an assault on the Emperor's Children. The campaign turned into a bloody quagmire under frigid conditions, and in the Night of Madness Kharn turned upon his brothers as they were on the cusp of victory. The incident finally broke the World Eaters as a Legion, which subsequently scattered into individual warbands. In the ten thousand years since the battle, the leaderless remnants of the World Eaters have slaughtered their way across the Galaxy. Since the opening of the Great Rift the World Eaters reappeared in numbers unseen since the Heresy, spearheading all eight fronts of the Blood Crusades.
在军团战争期间，这些问题在斯卡拉特拉克斯与一支规模大得多的帝皇之子军队的战斗中达到了顶峰。当吞世者争论该怎么办时，卡恩终于从伤痛中醒来，并领导了对帝皇之子的袭击。在寒冷的条件下，这场战役变成了一场血腥的泥潭，在疯狂之夜，当他的兄弟们即将取得胜利时，卡恩转向了他们。这一事件最终打破了吞世者作为一个军团的统治，随后他们分散成了单独的战帮。自那场战斗以来的一万年里，吞世者的无领袖残余势力在银河系各地进行了屠杀。自大裂隙打开以来，吞世者以叛乱以来从未见过的数量重新出现，领导着鲜血远征的所有八条战线。
Post-Heresy World Eaters symbol 叛乱后吞世者标志
Angron was last seen during the First War for Armageddon, where he lead the invasion of a Khornate host upon an Imperial forge world. He was eventually banished to the Warp for a hundred years, at the cost of the lives of a large number of Grey Knights lead by Brother-Captain Aurellian.
安格隆最后一次露面是在第一次阿玛吉多顿战争期间，在那里他领导了对帝国铸造世界的恐虐天军的入侵。他最终被放逐到亚空间一百年，以兄弟连长奥瑞利安率领的大量灰骑士的生命为代价。

Organisation 组织
Even before their fall to Chaos the War Hounds were known to favour close assaults, and this doctrine only grew more pronounced under the command of Angron and the transition into the World Eaters. Angron did little to change the higher-level organisation of the legion, with the echelons (a World Eaters formation roughly equivalent to the Chapters of other legions) only undergoing a slight biasing towards line infantry once he took command. The World Eaters as a legion force could best be described as a hybrid of tactical and close assault units, also possessing significant amounts of support elements useful to close assaults, such as Terminators and Land Speeders.
甚至在他们堕入混沌之前，人们就知道猎犬喜欢近身攻击，而这一教义在安格隆的指挥和向吞世者的过渡下变得更加明显。安格隆几乎没有改变军团的高层组织，梯队（一种大致相当于其他军团战团的吞世者编队）在他接管指挥权后，只略微偏向线列步兵。吞世者作为一支军团部队，最好被描述为战术和近身突击部队的混合体，还拥有大量对近身突击有用的支援要素，如终结者和兰德速攻艇。
World Eaters warband 吞世者战帮
In terms of combat deployment, the World Eaters were champions of the drop-pod assault, usually choosing to appear in the heart of the enemy's defences, in order to rip it apart from within. When heavy firepower was required to support such a tactic, the World Eaters were not averse to advancing under danger-close orbital bombardment or direct Titan support. While infantry assault was their primary stratagem, the legion did possess respectable amounts of armour and artillery units, and were highly adept in their use. Transports and those vehicles able to closely support infantry were obviously prevalent, and the assault doctrine of the legion was so strongly ingrained that even vehicle crew carried assault weapons as standard issue, and would often find a means to employ them.
在战斗部署方面，吞世者是空投舱攻击的拥护者，他们通常选择出现在敌人防御的中心，以便从内部将其撕裂。当需要强大的火力来支持这种战术时，吞世者并不反对在危险的近地轨道轰炸或直接的泰坦支援下前进。虽然步兵突击是他们的主要战略，但该军团确实拥有相当数量的装甲和火炮，并且非常善于使用。运输工具和能够密切支援步兵的载具显然很普遍，军团的突击学说根深蒂固，甚至连载具乘员都携带突击武器作为标准装备，并经常找到使用它们的方法。
The frequency and method of warfare carried out by the World Eaters was highly attritional not just in manpower, but materiel also. In this regard, the World Eaters had an easy means to offset losses and in fact ensure they had high supplies of arms and ammunition; the Forge World (of a sort) of Sarum considered itself an ally to the legion, and would dedicate a high portion of its output to servicing the legion forges and quartermasters. Amongst the Sarum-pattern equipment issued to the World Eaters and their allies in the 13th Expedition were the weapons known as Ursus Claws, which would appear in some preponderance aboard various vessels and walkers in the legion's employ.
吞世者进行战争的频率和方法不仅在人力上，而且在物资上都消耗很大。在这方面，吞世者有一种简单的方法来抵消损失，并确保他们有大量的武器和弹药供应；萨鲁姆的铸造世界（某种意义上）认为自己是军团的盟友，并将其大部分产出用于为军团铸造厂和军需官服务。在第13远征舰队中，向吞世者及其盟友发放的萨鲁姆型装备中，有一种被称为熊爪的武器，这种武器在军团使用的各种战舰和步行者上以一定的优势出现。
The World Eaters did not employ large amounts of elite troops, but did have some special units. Notionally, the most elite formation in the legion was the Devourers, the twelve-strong bodyguard group to Angron himself. A position in the Devourers could only be achieved by the slaying of one in ritualised combat, or - if one died in battle - by an organised competition open to any in the legion. However vaunted the idea of the Devourers was (and they did have access to the best arms and armour of the legion), the reality did not exactly match the idea on paper. For a bodyguard unit to a personage such as Angron was essentially absurd, especially a bodyguard unit made up of the most dedicated killers in a legion like the World Eaters. A being as powerful as Angron barely needed a bodyguard, and even if he did, when the Nails bit, the Devourers could hardly be trusted to remain near their primarch, or he near them.
吞世者没有应用大量精英部队，但确实有一些特种部队。从理论上讲，军团中最精锐的编队是吞噬者，这是安格隆本人的十二人护卫队。吞噬者中的一个位置只能通过在仪式化的战斗中杀死一个人来实现，或者 — 如果一个人在战斗中死亡 — 通过向军团中的任何人开放的有组织的比赛来实现。无论对吞噬者的概念多么夸耀（他们确实可以获得军团最好的武器和盔甲），现实与纸面上的想法并不完全相符。对于像安格隆这样的人物来说，护卫部队本质上是荒谬的，尤其是由像吞世者这样的军团中最敬业的杀手组成的护卫部队。像安格隆这样强大的生物几乎不需要护卫，即使他需要，当钉子攻击他们的时候，吞噬者也很难被信任留在他们的原体身边，或者他在他们身边。
One aspect lacking in the legion's Order of Battle was an effective Librarius. Upon undergoing Butcher's Nails implantation, it was discovered that the aggression engines did not mesh with psychic talents. In short order - beginning at the very first battle after the first implantation wave - the legion Librarians began to die, either by uncontrolled power surges or sudden brain embolisms. Refusing to countenance failure, the Librarius attempted to learn to control the Nails' effect and continued to undergo implantation, but results never improved. Eventually, attempts were made to remove the Nails from the Librarians, but all such operations proved fatal. Thus, the remaining psychic warriors of the legion refused implantation in order to continue to serve. Lacking the shared experience of the Nails - and Angron's distrust of anything "unnatural" - the World Eaters Librarians found themselves shunned by their fellows. The legion, already disobeying the Emperor's orders where the aggression engines were concerned, never followed the Edict of Nikea, and allowed their Librarians to remain active as psykers. Simple battlefield attrition would reduce their numbers until, by the time of the Shadow Crusade, only 19 remained active in the entire legion. All of the remainder perished during the Battle of Nuceria, attempting to stop Angron's daemonic ascenscion.
军团战斗序列中缺少的一个方面是有效的智库。在接受屠夫之钉植入后，人们发现侵略引擎与灵能天赋并不匹配。很快，从第一次植入波后的第一场战斗开始，军团智库开始死亡，要么是由于不受控制的电涌，要么是突然的脑栓塞。智库拒绝接受失败，试图学会控制钉子的影响，并继续接受植入手术，但结果从未改善。最终，有人试图从智库那里取下钉子，但所有这些操作都被证明是致命的。因此，军团中剩下的灵能战士拒绝植入，以继续服役。由于缺乏钉子的共同经历，以及安格隆对任何“非自然”事物的不信任，吞世者智库发现自己被战友所回避。军团已经在侵略引擎方面违反了帝皇的命令，从未遵循尼凯亚法令，并允许他们的智库作为灵能者继续活动。简单的战场消耗会减少他们的数量，直到暗影远征时，整个军团中只有19人仍然活跃。其余的人都在努凯里亚之战中丧生，试图阻止安格隆的恶魔升格。
Angron leads the World Eaters 安格隆领导吞世者
The total strength of the World Eaters was never known. Due to their high casualties in battle and rapid recruitment rates, their numbers were constantly fluctuating. A 'best guess' made by one Imperial record puts their numbers immediately before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy at around 150,000, which places the World Eaters at about a 'higher-mid' level of manpower when compared to the other legions. About 112,000 are reckoned to have been with Angron when he joined the Warmaster's fleet at Istvaan III, and of these, possibly as many as 37,000 were committed to the first wave and subsequently betrayed unto their deaths. The legion’s fleet was known to consist of at least 60 capital class vessels.
吞世者的总兵力是未知的。由于他们在战斗中伤亡惨重，招募速度很快，他们的人数一直在波动。根据一份帝国记录的“最佳猜测”，在荷鲁斯叛乱爆发之前，他们的人数约为15万人，与其他军团相比，吞世者的人力处于“更高的中等”水平。据估计，当安格隆在伊斯塔万三号加入战帅舰队时，大约有112000人与他在一起，其中可能多达37000人被投入第一波战争，随后被出卖致死。众所周知，该军团的舰队至少由60艘主力级战舰组成。
In the aftermath of the Heresy and the Battle of Skalathrax, the World Eaters have shattered as a united Legion and now operate as disparate warbands controlled by Chaos Lords. Each warband recruits its own way. Few have the facilities or skill needed to create more Space Marines themselves, though some utilize twisted Khornate Apothecaries known as Berzerker-Surgeons to create murderous monstrosities. On the advent of M42 with the formation of the Great Rift and return of Angron, many prominent World Eaters warlords such as Kossolax, Karakka Bloodfist, Dreagh'or, and even Khârn have (at least briefly) gathered around their Primarch once more.
在叛乱和斯卡拉特拉克斯之战之后，吞世者作为一个统一的军团瓦解了，现在作为由混沌领主控制的不同的战帮运作。每个战帮都有自己的招募方式。很少有人拥有自己创造更多星际战士所需的设施或技能，尽管有些人利用被称为狂战士军医的扭曲恐虐药剂师来创造凶残的怪物。随着M42，大裂隙的形成和安格隆的回归，许多著名的吞世者战争领主，如科索拉克斯、卡拉卡·血拳、德雷格’尔，甚至卡恩（至少是短暂的）再次聚集在他们的原体周围。

Gene-seed 基因种子
Many scholars believe the World Eaters' geneseed was corrupted from the beginning, and the legion was intrinsically damned. Others believe that there was nothing inherently wrong with the genetic make-up of the legion, and point solely to Angron and his introduction of the Butcher's Nails as the reason behind the downfall of the Twelfth Legion. While no clear truth can be discerned, it is believed that the geneseed of Angron resulted in his marines developing an almost physical need to engage in combat, and a propensity to descend into bouts of bloodthirsty madness, separate from the effects of the Nails.
许多学者认为，吞世者的基因从一开始就被破坏了，军团本质上是被诅咒的。其他人则认为，军团的基因组成本身并没有什么问题，并仅指出安格隆和他引入的屠夫之钉是第十二军团衰落的原因。虽然没有明确的真相，但据信，安格隆的基因导致他的星际战士几乎产生了参与战斗的生理需求，并倾向于陷入嗜血的疯狂，这与钉子的影响是分开的。
Regardless, after millennia in the Eye of Terror, the currently existing geneseed of the legion warriors has been corrupted beyond all possible measure. Berzerker-Surgeons have been able to utilize this corrupted Gene-Seed to sometimes create new warriors who are little more than feral animals with no fear of pain or death.
无论如何，经过数千年的恐惧之眼，目前存在的军团战士的基因种子已经被腐化得无法估量。狂战士军医已经能够利用这种被破坏的基因种子，有时创造出新的战士，他们只不过是野兽，不惧痛苦或死亡。
Culture 文化
Even as the War Hounds, the legion had an intemperate demeanour, requiring an especially harsh discipline code in order to retain effectiveness. The enforcement of punishment was carried out by the officer of those deemed guilty, but that officer needed to have the physical capability to carry it out, as well as the respect of the others under his command. War Hounds (and World Eaters) officers were not promoted on seniority, or on merit not earned in direct combat. They earned their rank by battlefield prowess and displays of personal leadership and charisma in the teeth of battle. All ranks were expected to be effective in close-range combat, even specialists. Failure in battle was not tolerated, surrender was literally never considered, and mercy to the enemy was a quick death to a worthy foe. Enemies who had proven unworthy - cowards - were to be butchered. Trial by combat was the preferred way to settle disagreements, with all parties concerned seeing both the undertaking and the result as honourable. One way an officer could achieve promotion was to challenge a senior to such a combat, with the winner taking (or keeping) the higher rank of the two. The loser...well, they would be dead.
即使是战犬，该军团也有着过激的行为，需要特别严厉的纪律守则才能保持效力。惩罚的执行由被认定有罪的军官执行，但该军官需要具备执行惩罚的身体能力，并尊重其指挥下的其他人。战犬（和吞世者）军官的晋升不是基于资历，也不是基于非直接战斗中获得的功绩。他们凭借战场实力和在战斗中表现出的个人领导力和魅力获得军衔。所有级别的人都被期望在近距离战斗中发挥作用，即使是专家。战斗中的失败是不能容忍的，投降从来没有被考虑过，对敌人的怜悯是对一个值得尊敬的敌人的快速死亡。被证明不值得的敌人 — 懦夫 — 将被屠杀。战斗审判是解决分歧的首选方式，有关各方都认为这一承诺和结果是光荣的。军官晋升的一种方式是挑战一名高级军官参加这样的战斗，获胜者将获得（或保留）两人中的较高军衔。失败者…好吧，他们会死的。
As determined masters of close-combat, the World Eaters were skilled in the employ of practically all hand-to-hand weapons. One in particular grew synonymous with the legion, however: the chain-axe. The legion favoured a broad-bladed pattern that dated back to the techno-barbarian tribes of Old Terra, and their habit of using this type of weapon grew into almost an obsession after their Primarch was revealed to be a master with the weapon type. Angron refined the chain-axe and it's use in his legion, as well as teaching his warriors new ways to kill with it, inspiring a cult of personal combat concentrated around using the weapon. The reputation of the chain-axe as a weapon grew in the Imperium thanks to the World Eaters, and its use spread to other legions as a result. At least one record opines that the chain-axe was the perfect metaphor for the World Eaters themselves; a brutal, remorseless machine with no purpose other than to kill.
作为坚定的近身格斗大师，吞世者几乎精通所有徒手武器的使用。然而，其中一种特别成为了军团的代名词：链锯斧。军团喜欢一种可以追溯到旧泰拉的技术蛮人部落的宽刃型，在他们的原体被发现是这种武器类型的大师后，他们使用这种武器的习惯几乎变成了一种痴迷。安格隆改进了链锯斧，并在他的军团中使用，同时教会了他的战士们用它杀人的新方法，激发了人们对使用这种武器进行个人战斗的崇拜。由于吞世者，链锯斧作为武器的声誉在帝国中越来越高，因此它的使用也传播到了其他军团。至少有一条记录认为，链锯斧是吞世者自己的完美比喻；一台残忍无情的机械，除了杀人没有其他目的。
Amongst various traditions (or superstitions) of the Nucerian gladiator-pits brought into the legion was that of the treatment of discarded weapons; a weapon lost, either on purpose or as a result of failure or the vagaries of the battlefield, was a weapon of ill luck. As a result the World Eaters would often take the somewhat wasteful step of abandoning fallen or discarded gear, including the gear of their enemies. One notable exception to this behaviour was when Khârn recovered and repaired Gorechild, a weapon of the primarch.
在各种传统（或迷信）中，被带入军团的努凯里亚角斗士坑是处理废弃武器的传统；无论是故意丢失，还是由于失败或战场的变幻莫测而丢失的武器，都是一种倒霉的武器。因此，吞世者经常采取有点浪费的步骤，丢弃掉落或丢弃的装备，包括敌人的装备。这种行为的一个值得注意的例外是，当卡恩恢复并修复了原体的武器血子时。
The huge emphasis on personal combat was present inside the legion as well as on the battlefield. Training was with live rounds and whetted blades, often against other legionaries. Indeed, past a certain point in training, gladiatorial fights could be sanctioned up to the death. Pit-fights were not just employed as part of training; aware that his men needed to release their aggression even when not in combat, Angron allowed single combat between his legionaries to become almost ritualised inside the legion, with various rules and challenges particular to the World Eaters forming around the combats.
军团内部和战场上都非常重视个人战斗。训练是用实弹和开刃刀进行的，通常是对抗其他军团士兵。事实上，在训练的某个阶段之后，角斗士的战斗可能会被判死刑。决斗坑不仅是训练的一部分；意识到他的士兵即使在没有战斗的情况下也需要释放他们的侵略性，安格隆允许他的军团之间的单次战斗在军团内部几乎成为仪式，在战斗中形成了各种规则和挑战，这些规则和挑战是吞世者特有的。
Despite the bulk of the non-Terran legionaries not having a shared world of origin, a second language to Gothic came to exist inside the legion: Nagrakali. Referred to as a bastardised tongue, it was a result of the melding of warriors from three dozen worlds, each with their own native language.
尽管大部分非泰拉裔军团士兵没有共同的起源世界，但军团内部出现了除哥特语的第二种语言：纳格拉卡利语。它被称为一种混杂语言，是来自三十多个世界的战士融合的结果，每个世界都有自己的母语。
After a certain point, almost every legionary would undergo the voluntary implantation of the Butcher's Nails, the psycho-surgical implants that heightened aggression and pain tolerance to extreme levels. A side-effect of these devices would soon become apparent; they robbed the wearer of peace, satisfaction or joy except when stimulated in battle. While the effect of the Nails was not identical from person to person, the shared burden of bearing them would unite all World Eaters (and even their sire, Angron) in a bond of tortured familiarity. The World Eaters volunteered for the Nails, not just to receive the combat benefits, but because they wished to become closer to their primarch, and perhaps even understand him. In some sense, their embrace of the destructive brain surgery could be said to have been spiritual.
在某一点之后，几乎每个军团士兵都会自愿植入屠夫之钉，这是一种灵能外科植入物，可以将攻击性和疼痛耐受性提高到极端水平。这些设备的副作用很快就会显现出来；除非在战斗中受到刺激，否则它们会剥夺佩戴者的平静、满足或快乐。虽然钉子的效果因人而异，但承受钉子的共同负担将使所有吞世者（甚至他们的父亲安格隆）团结在一种痛苦的熟悉关系中。吞世者自愿打入钉子，不仅是为了获得战斗福利，也是因为他们希望更接近他们的原体，甚至可能理解他。从某种意义上说，他们对破坏性脑部手术的拥抱可以说是精神上的。
After their fall to Chaos, the legion's blood-rites and traditions swiftly became ritualised and transformed into a worship of Khorne. It is not unknown for World Eaters officers to have given themselves over to daemonic possession, and the presence of such possessed marines in legion formations is often seen as a sign of Khorne's esteem. The effect of the Butcher's Nails is also said to reinforce the World Eater's devotions to their patron, as slaying in his name is said to grant them an experience of unholy joy.
在他们堕入混沌之后，军团的血腥仪式和传统迅速变得仪式化，并转变为对恐虐的崇拜。吞世者军官们已经将自己交给了恶魔的控制，而这种被控制的星际战士以军团的形式出现，通常被视为恐虐的尊重的标志。据说屠夫之钉的效果也加强了吞世者对他们幕后者的虔诚，因为以他的名义杀人据说会给他们带来一种邪恶的快乐体验。
Those who have embraced the Butcher's Nails to its fullest extent are known as the Sages of Slaughter.
那些最大限度地拥抱屠夫之钉的人被称为屠杀圣者。
Homeworld 家园世界
The World Eaters did not possess a typical homeworld in the manner of many of the other Space Marine Legions. Their Primarch, Angron, was discovered upon the world of Nuceria, but the events surrounding his discovery did not lead to a unifying of the planet and his legion. The World Eaters instead retained the use of various muster posts, the chief of which was the world of Bodt. Bodt was seized by the legion during their early days, and became a principal fiefdom. A volcanic and arid world with no recorded native inhabitants, it would serve as the training ground of the Legion.
吞世者并不像其他许多星际战士那样拥有一个典型的家园世界。他们的原体安格隆在努凯里亚行星上被发现，但围绕他的发现的事件并没有导致行星和他的军团的统一。相反，吞世者保留了各个集合点的使用，其中最主要的是博德特世界。博德特在早期被军团占领，成为主要的封地。这是一个火山和干旱的世界，没有记录在案的土著居民，它将成为军团的训练场。
Bodt was ultimately destroyed during the Horus Heresy; a mixed Imperial strike force led by Autek Mor of the Iron Hands succeeded in crashing Bodt's lone moon into the world, causing a total extermination event that slew all those upon the surface.
博德特最终在荷鲁斯叛乱期间被摧毁；由钢铁之手的奥特克·摩尔领导的混合帝国打击部队成功地将博德特的孤独卫星撞向世界，造成了一场彻底的灭绝事件，杀死了所有在表面的人。
Recruitment 招募
The standard tactics of the War Hounds (especially the World Eaters) typically resulted in high casualty levels for the legion. In order to keep up their strength, the World Eaters were involved in continual recruitment, with Angron choosing to personally streamline and cut out elements of the standard process in order to accelerate the viability of recruits. He was also noted to have regularly donated his own genetic material directly to his apothecaries in order to speed up the organ culture and implantation process as well as ensure the stability of the grafting. These recruits were taken from various feral and feudal worlds that the legion came across, including from conquered populations. As a result of this continual recruitment from as wide a variety of humanity as the galaxy could place in their path, no other legion except perhaps the Ultramarines could be said to have been so diverse in cultural origin. Recruits were most commonly trained on the legion's world Bodt.
战犬（尤其是吞世者）的标准战术通常会导致军团的高伤亡率。为了保持他们的实力，吞世者参与了持续的招募，安格隆选择亲自简化和删除标准流程的元素，以加快新兵的生存能力。他还经常将自己的遗传物质直接捐赠给药剂师，以加快器官培养和植入过程，并确保移植的稳定性。这些新兵来自军团遇到的各种蛮荒和封建世界，包括被征服的人口。由于他们在银河系的道路上不断招募各种各样的人类，除了极限战士之外，没有其他军团可以说在文化起源上如此多样化。新兵最常在军团的世界博德特训练。
World Eater in action 行动中的吞世者
In the aftermath of the Drop Site Massacre, senior World Eaters Apothecaries in cooperation with the Word Bearers arrived on Bodt, where they established bio-vats to create new warriors at a rapid pace. What resulted were rage-filled monsters of pure aggression. Initiates who survived the process awoke thinking they were a veteran of countless wars.
在登陆点大屠杀事件之后，吞世者高级药剂师与怀言者合作抵达博德特，在那里他们建立了生物缸，以快速培养新的战士。结果是充满愤怒的纯粹侵略性怪物。在这一过程中幸存下来的参与者醒来时以为自己是无数战争的老兵。
While the World Eaters have found it difficult to replenish their numbers since the Battle of Skalathrax, they are known to utilize Berzerker-Surgeons to create new murderous warriors that are little more than feral animals. The World Eaters are also capable of psycho-corrective surgery to transform captured loyalist Space Marines into new World Eaters. Following the Horus Heresy, the World Eaters also began to absorb various Khorne-worshipping Chaos Space Marine warbands, meaning that not all modern World Eaters share the same gene-seed. Such is the extent of this genetic variety that today World Eaters identify themselves by use of the Butcher's Nails and devotion to Khorne, not by being part of Angron's genetic legacy.
虽然自斯卡拉特拉克斯战役以来，吞世者发现很难补充他们的数量，但众所周知，他们利用狂战士军医创造了新的凶残的战士，这些战士只不过是野兽。吞世者还能够进行灵能矫正手术，将被俘的忠诚星际战士转变为新的吞世者。在荷鲁斯叛乱之后，吞世者也开始吸收各种崇拜恐虐的混沌星际战士，这意味着并非所有现代吞世者都有相同的基因种子。这种基因多样性的程度如此之高，以至于今天的吞世者通过使用屠夫之钉和对恐虐的忠诚来识别自己，而不是通过成为安格隆基因遗留的一部分。

Trivia 琐事
Angron's origin as a gladiator-turned-leader of a rebel army, and his eventual 'disappearance' from their final battlefield, probably draws inspiration from the historical figure Spartacus.
安格隆最初是一名角斗士，后来成为叛军领袖，他最终从最后的战场上“消失”，这可能是从历史人物斯巴达克斯那里得到的灵感。
Nuceria is likely a reference to Nocera Superiore, a city in classical Italy, whose changing allegiances throughout the period resulted in it being sacked several times, notably by both Rome and the forces of Spartacus.
努凯里亚可能指的是古意大利的上诺切拉，这座城市在整个时期不断变化的忠诚导致它多次被洗劫，尤其是被罗马和斯巴达克斯军队洗劫。
