Overview 概述
During the Word Bearers offensive against the Ultramarines in the Battle of Calth, Lorgar led another contingent of Word Bearers in conjunction with Angron and his World Eaters targeting the rest of Ultramar. The ultimate goal of Lorgar was to create a massive Warp storm known as the Ruinstorm, which would create an impenetrable veil around Ultramar and the eastern half of the Galaxy, cutting off the largest of the Emperor's Legions from Terra. The Ruinstorm had first been summoned by Erebus during the Battle of Calth, but to mature it fully Lorgar needed to unleash a campaign of bloodshed and misery.
在考斯之战中，在怀言者对极限战士的进攻中，珞珈带领另一支怀言者分遣队与安格隆和他的怀言者一起瞄准奥特拉玛的其他地区。珞珈的最终目标是制造一场被称为毁灭风暴的巨大亚空间风暴，这将在奥特拉玛和银河系东半部周围制造一道无法穿透的帷幕，将帝皇最大的军团与泰拉隔绝。毁灭风暴最初是由艾瑞巴斯在考斯之战中召唤的，但为了使其完全成熟，珞珈需要发动一场流血和痛苦的战役。
The Word Bearers and World Eaters launched a far bloodier and reckless offensive on their way across the eastern Galaxy, rampaging across the 500 worlds of Ultramar. Initially the two legions were on tense terms, as Angron delayed the advance by insisting on the butchering of entire worlds of little strategic value. The tensions between Angron and Lorgar boiled over to a standoff that was only interrupted by an attack by Dark Eldar.
怀言者和吞世者在穿越银河系东部的途中发动了一场更加血腥和鲁莽的进攻，在奥特拉玛500世界肆虐。起初，这两个军团关系紧张，因为安格隆坚持屠杀整个战略价值不大的世界，从而推迟了进攻。安格隆和珞珈之间的紧张关系演变成对峙，直到黑暗灵族的袭击才中断。
One of the most pitched of the campaign was the Battle of Armatura, where the traitor fleet led by two gigantic Furious Abyss-class battleships smashed through massive Ultramarine defenses. During the butchery Lorgar realized that Angron's fury was consuming him as the Butcher's Nails could not handle a Primarch's brain. Lorgar, wishing Angron be elevated to serve the Dark Gods, decided to journey to his homeworld of Nuceria to find the secrets of the Butcher's Nails. While Lorgar led a small force to Angron's world, the rest of the traitor fleet splintered into many small parties which brought destruction upon every Ultramar world they encountered. Talassar and Percepton are other worlds that are known to have been attacked by the traitors.
这场战役中最激烈的战斗之一是阿马图拉之战，在那里，由两艘巨大的狂怒深渊级战列舰率领的叛徒舰队冲破了巨大的极限战士防御。在屠杀过程中，珞珈意识到安格隆的愤怒正在吞噬他，因为屠夫之钉无法处理一个原体的大脑。珞珈希望安格隆能升格为黑暗诸神服务，于是决定前往他的家园世界努凯里亚，寻找屠夫之钉的秘密。当珞珈率领一支小部队前往安格隆的世界时，其余的叛徒舰队分裂成许多小分队，给他们遇到的每个奥特拉玛世界带来了毁灭。塔拉萨和洞察星是已知被叛徒袭击的其他世界。
When the two Primarchs arrived at Nuceria however they discovered that the slave-lords of the world had massacred Angron's comrades and told the population that he had fled during their last stand. Infuriated, Angron ordered that the World Eaters and Word Bearers purge Nuceria of its population. During the ensuing battle, the Ultramarines led by Guilliman arrived, determined to exact vengeance on the traitors for the Battle of Calth. The three immensely powerful but vastly outnumbered traitor Battleships (Conqueror, Fidelitas Lex, and Trisagion) faced a rag-tag Ultramarines fleet of 40 smaller vessels. The ensuing battle in space was nearly even, in large part thanks to the vast power of the Trisagion. However due to their numbers Ultramarines vessels were able to move past the traitor blockade and land forces on Nuceria. They also managed to bring down the Fidelias Lex, losing twelve ships in the process.
然而，当两位原体抵达努凯里亚时，他们发现世界上的奴隶主屠杀了安格隆的同伴，并告诉民众，他在最后一次抵抗时逃跑了。愤怒的安格隆命令吞世者和怀言者清除努凯里亚的人口。在随后的战斗中，由基里曼率领的极限战士抵达，决心为考斯之战向叛徒报仇。三艘强大但寡不敌众的叛徒战列舰（征服者号、信仰之律号和三圣颂号）面对着一支由40艘小型战舰组成的混杂的极限战士舰队。随后在太空中的战斗几乎势均力敌，这在很大程度上要归功于三圣颂号的巨大力量。然而，由于他们的数量，极限战士的战舰能够越过叛徒封锁和努凯里亚的部队。他们还设法击落了信仰之律号，在此过程中损失了12艘舰船。
On the ground, loyalist and traitor astartes and Titans began to engage each other in pitched combat. Lorgar went on to duel Guilliman himself during the battle, and the two were largely evenly matched. However Angron then arrived, and defeated the Primarch in a furious rage. But while Guilliman managed to escape thanks to an intervention by nearby Ultramarines, this was precisely what Lorgar had wanted and the Word Bearers Primarch began a Khornate ritual. Using Angron's rage as a conduit, Lorgar channeled the power of Khorne and surged the Red Angel with the powers of Chaos. Angron was transformed into a hulking, even more bloodthirsty avatar of violence and rage that had overcome the debilitating effects of the Butcher's Nails. With his brother empowered and the Ruinstorm now at its crescendo, the traitor fleet withdrew.
在地面上，忠诚派和叛徒阿斯塔特和泰坦开始进行激战。珞珈在战斗中亲自与基里曼决斗，两人基本势均力敌。然而，安格隆随后到达，并在愤怒中击败了原体。但是，尽管基里曼在附近的极限战士的干预下设法逃脱，但这正是珞珈想要的，怀言者原体开始了恐虐仪式。珞珈以安格隆的愤怒为渠道，引导恐虐的力量，用混沌的力量增强红天使。安格隆变成了一个庞大的、更嗜血的暴力和愤怒的化身，克服了屠夫之钉的衰弱影响。随着他的兄弟获得力量，毁灭风暴现在达到高潮，叛徒舰队撤退了。
Thanks to the mass carnage and pain unleashed, the Word Bearers were successful in strengthening the Ruinstorm, creating havoc across Ultima Segmentum and effectively dividing the Imperium in half. Those loyalist legions now isolated from Terra; not only the Ultramarines but also Dark Angels and Blood Angels, were forced to muster at Macragge where Guilliman eventually formed Imperium Secundus. The Dark Angels continued to purge traitor forces from Ultramar during the hunt for Konrad Curze, most notably during the Battle of Zepath.
由于大规模的屠杀和痛苦的释放，怀言者成功地加强了毁灭风暴，在极限星域造成了严重破坏，并有效地将帝国一分为二。那些忠诚派军团现在与泰拉隔绝了；不仅是极限战士，还有黑暗天使和圣血天使，被迫在马库拉格集结，基里曼最终在那里建立了第二帝国。在追捕康拉德·科兹的过程中，黑暗天使继续从奥特拉玛清除叛徒部队，尤其是在泽帕斯之战中。
Even after Terra became the focus of the war and the Primarchs left to wage battle elsewhere, fighting continued to rage in Ultramar from remnants of the Shadow Crusade. These included the Butcher Fleets of the World Eaters and the Argolian Massacres of the Word Bearers.
即使在泰拉成为战争的焦点，原体离开去其他地方作战之后，由于暗影远征的残余，奥特拉玛的战斗仍在继续。其中包括吞世者的屠夫舰队和怀言者的阿尔戈利安大屠杀。
