-The Tallarn Desert Raiders-

Speciality: Desert and Guerilla Warfare.

Overview:
The Tallarn are mobile guerrilla fighters, evasive and opportunistic. They are well known for their hard-fighting Sentinel squadrons and are masters of hit-and-run warfare.
Their chief strength lies in their skill in guerrilla warfare, which makes use of various mounts as well as numerous Sentinel squadrons to remain highly mobile on the battlefield, harrying their opponents mercilessly before disappearing into the background. Noted marksmen, Tallarn forces employ a unique style of lasgun which is longer and more fluid in shape than the standard Imperial Guard issue.
Some Tallarn Rough Rider squadrons ride large alien mounts, called Mukaali. These desert-dwelling herbivores are originally indigenous to the vast equatorial deserts of Goru-Prime. Many Mukaali have been transported to other desert worlds, including Tallarn itself, because they are well adapted to arid environments.
History dictates the future, and Tallarn is no exception to this. Following the desecration of their homeworld during the Horus Heresy by the Iron Warriors, the Tallarn have been forced to make use of Mechanised Armour and APC's in order to safely move their infantry across the barren wasteland of their homeworld.

  • taliban in 40k wow

  • No. Tallarn desert raider are not stereotypical Iraqi soldiers.

    They are more like British Desert Rats from WW2. They specialize in desert combat, and have a very large number of tanks, like Desert Rats did.

    They also have influences from ancient Arabic cultures. This can be seen from their weapons, names and overall looks and uniforms.

    The fact that they wear scarves as their headdresses does not automatically mean that they represent the stereotypical Muslim freedom fighters.
