History 历史
Forge World was established in October 1998, the brainchild of John Stallard and headed by Paul Robins, the man responsible for the original Thunderhawk Gunship. The new division was first announced in White Dwarf 226, coinciding with the release of the 3rd Edition of Warhammer 40,000.
铸造世界成立于1998年10月，由约翰·斯托拉德创立，由最初的雷鹰炮艇负责人保罗·罗宾斯领导。新部门在《白矮人第226期》中首次宣布，恰逢战锤40000第三版的发布。

Forge World would go on to produce a broad range of resin models and terrain for both Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000, as well as many of Games Workshop's specialist games, including Necromunda, Battlefleet Gothic and Warmaster. Forge World also produced conversion kits for plastic Citadel models in Games Workshop's main range, a series of large-scale collectors' pieces including busts and full figures, and a small number of etched brass accessories including faction icons and barbed wire for Warhammer 40,000.
铸造世界继续为战锤幻想战斗和战锤40000以及许多游戏工作室的专业游戏（包括涅克罗蒙达、哥特舰队和战争之主）生产各种树脂模型和地形。铸造世界还为游戏工作室主系列中的塑料城堡模型生产了转换套件，一系列大型收藏家作品，包括半身像和全神像，以及少量蚀刻黄铜配件，包括派系图标和用于战锤40000的带刺铁丝网。
Beginning in the mid-2000s, Forge World began to produce ranges of models to represent entire factions that either lacked models or were limited to old and out of production kits. The first of these ventures was the previously unexplored Elysian Drop Troops, released in 2005. Other notable examples include the Death Korps of Krieg and a new resin line of Chaos Dwarfs. Eventually, this culminated in Forge World producing their own game system in 2011, set during the Horus Heresy.
从2000年代中期开始，铸造世界开始生产一系列模型，以代表整个派系，这些派系要么缺乏模型，要么仅限于旧的和停产的套件。其中第一个项目是2005年发布的之前未被探索的艾丽西亚空降部队。其他值得注意的例子包括克里格死亡军团和混沌矮人的新树脂线。最终，铸造世界在2011年制作了自己的游戏系统，该系统以荷鲁斯叛乱为背景。
Games Workshop quietly removed the Forge World brand from public view between 2023 and 2024, absorbing its products and online store into the main Games Workshop website, newly rebranded as Warhammer.com. The "Forge World" brand continues to exist through the production of resin miniatures for all of Games Workshop's main games. These are marketed as 'Expert Kits', with the material frequently referred to as 'Forge World Resin'.
游戏工作室在2023年至2024年间悄悄地将铸造世界品牌从公众视野中移除，将其产品和在线商店纳入游戏工作室的主要网站，新更名为Warhammer.com。“铸造世界”品牌通过为游戏工作室所有主要游戏生产树脂微缩模型而继续存在。这些产品被称为“专家套件”，其材料通常被称作“FW树脂”。
Product ranges 产品范围
Forge World has developed a number of distinct product ranges over the years.
多年来，铸造世界开发了许多不同的产品系列。
Imperial Armour 帝国装甲
Imperial Armour was launched in 1990 and announced in The Citadel Journal 32, described as a product range of "ultra-cool, ultra-detailed, ultra-specialist add-ons for Warhammer 40,000 tank kits."
帝国装甲于1990年推出，并在《城堡杂志》第32期上公布，被描述为“用于战锤40000坦克套件的超酷、超细节、超专业附加组件”的产品系列

Over time, the range expanded to include tanks and vehicles from all of the major Warhammer 40,000 factions. Beginning in 2000, a series of rule books were also published under the Imperial Armour name. These provided background information and official rules for fielding Forge World miniatures in games of Warhammer 40,000.
随着时间的推移，范围扩大到包括来自所有战锤40000主要派系的坦克和载具。从2000年开始，一系列规则书也以帝国装甲的名义出版。这些为在战锤40000游戏中部署铸造世界微缩模型提供了背景信息和官方规则。
As of November 2023, a small selection of miniatures from the Imperial Armour range were still available for purchase through Games Workshop's online store; however, the Imperial Armour branding was no longer in use.
截至2023年11月，帝国装甲系列的一小部分微缩模型仍可通过游戏工作室的在线商店购买；然而，帝国装甲品牌已不再使用。
Warhammer Forge 战锤铸造
Warhammer Forge was announced in White Dwarf 374 and launched in 2011. The range focused on miniatures and publications for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Inspired by the success of the Imperial Armour series, Warhammer Forge produced two hardback rules supplements authored by Alan Bligh: Monstrous Arcanum and Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos.
战锤铸造在《白矮人第374期》中宣布，并于2011年推出。该系列专注于战锤幻想战斗的微缩模型和出版物。受到帝国装甲系列成功的启发，战锤铸造制作了两本由艾伦·布莱撰写的精装版规则补充：《怪物奥秘》和《塔穆尔可汗：混沌王座》。

The Warhammer Forge branding was removed from Forge Worlds marketing material following the demise of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and the subsequent release of Age of Sigmar in 2015.
2015年，随着战锤幻想战斗的终结和西格玛时代的发布，战锤铸造品牌从铸造世界的营销材料中删除。
The Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱
In 2011, Forge World began producing a range of miniatures and accompanying rules for playing games during the period known as the Horus Heresy, set roughly ten thousand years before Warhammer 40,000. This developed into its own popular game system. Owing to the commercial success of the Horus Heresy, Games Workshop's main studio took over production of the second edition of the game, slowly replacing the resin miniatures produced by Forge World with new plastic equivalents following the new edition's release in 2022.
2011年，铸造世界开始制作在荷鲁斯叛乱时期的一系列迷你模型和相应的游戏规则，该时期大约发生在战锤40000前的一万年。这发展成了自己的流行游戏系统。由于荷鲁斯叛乱的商业成功，游戏工作室的主工作室接管了第二版游戏的制作，在2022年新版游戏发布后，用新的塑料替代了铸造世界制作的树脂微缩模型。

Busts, Collector's Series and Showcase Series 半身像、收藏家系列和陈列系列
In addition to producing miniatures for tabletop wargaming, Forge World produced a range of larger-scale resin figures designed for display. These figures were marketed under three distinct categories: Character Busts, Collector's Series and Showcase Series. Each range featured highly detailed depictions of characters and creatures from worlds of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
除了生产桌面战争游戏的微型模型外，铸造世界还生产了一系列用于展示的大型树脂人物。这些人物按三个不同的类别进行销售：人物半身像、收藏家系列和陈列系列。每个系列都对战锤40000和战锤幻想战斗中的角色和生物进行了非常详细的描述。

Trivia 琐事
Before the founding of Forge World, itself designed to streamline production of his models, Mike Biasi produced Games Workshop licensed models under his own company Mike Biasi Studios. Forge World, and by extension Games Workshop, now owns the license to Mike Biasi Studios' models in full and models produced by the studio can be considered Forge World models.
铸造世界旨在简化其模型的制作，在铸造世界成立之前，迈克·比亚西在自己的公司迈克·比亚西工作室下制作了游戏工作室许可的模型。铸造世界和游戏工作室现在拥有迈克·比亚西工作室模型的全部许可证，工作室制作的模型可以被视为铸造世界模型。
Biasi would produce other Games Workshop-licensed smaller production size miniatures with Tim Dupertuis, publisher of the Inquisitor fan-zine in their joint venture Armorcast, until their license expired in 1998.
比亚西与合资企业装甲铸件的《审判官》粉丝杂志的出版商蒂姆·杜佩蒂斯合作，制作其他获得游戏工作室许可的小型微缩产品，直到他们的许可证于1998年到期。
