The Tallarn Desert Raiders are an Imperial Guard regiment raised from the harsh, broken Desert World of Tallarn. Their chief strength lies in their Guerilla style of 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 pattern Lasgun which is longer and more fluid in shape than the standard Imperial Guard issue. They are also keen users of knives in order to fell any who do not fall victim to their initial las volley.
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.
