Gurrian

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Gurrian was a Captain of the 13th Valstadt Armoured, commanding the regiment's 1st Reconnaissance Company in late M41.[1]

In 987.M41, the 13th Valstadt Armoured were deployed on Lammas in a protracted war against the Eldar. At 543.987.M41, Gurrian and his company were ordered by Colonel Kessen to scout ahead of the regiment's position at Hervat Colony in preparation for an advance towards the Karsundi River. As the company made their way to Karsundi Alpha, they were harassed by Nightwing Fighters, resulting in the loss of some scout vehicles.[1]

By 546.987, Gurrian and his men had reached Karsundi Alpha, finding it occupied by eldar ground forces - Guardians and Rangers deployed by Vampire Raiders. The Valstadt Reconnaissance company, along with some Armoured Fist platoons sent ahead as reinforcements, were able to force the Eldar to retreat, but Gurrian was wounded by a sniper during the fighting. While he recovered from his injuries, his second-in-command, Lieutenant Talbor, took command of the company in his stead.[1]

  • At one point the source spells the character's name as Guerrian.[1] This is presumably an error.
