Naranbaatar

Space Marines Portal White Scars

Naranbaatar was a member of the White Scars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. A Stormseer of considerable power, he was second only to Targutai Yesugei. Following Yesugei's death in the Battle of Catallus, Naranbaatar became Chief Stormseer.^[1]

During the Siege of Terra, Naranbaatar was one of the senior White Scars officers at the Colossi Gate. During the battle, Naranbaatar and his Stormseers were able to fend off a psychic assault by Ahriman and the Order of Ruin.^[2] During Jaghatai Khan's great counterattack to retake the Lion's Gate Spaceport, Naranbaatar took part in the central thrust and led his Stormseers once more. However after sensing the location of Mortarion he became separated from Jaghatai Khan and was badly wounded in the fighting. His dying body was discovered by Jangsai Khan, but the Chief Stormseer instead urged the Newblood Captain to hurry on and help the Great Khan in his battle against Mortarion. He passed shortly after.^[3]
