[[Image:TallarnDR.jpg|thumb|right|Tallarn Desert Raider with a [[Long-las]]{{Fn|5}}]]
As a barren desert planet with so little to offer the Imperium besides manpower, Tallarn has made exporting soldiers its primary contribution to mankind.{{Fn|Citethis}} History dictates the future, and [[Tallarn]] is no exception to this. Following the [[Battle of Tallarn|desecration of their homeworld]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] by the [[Iron Warriors]] that saw their once fertile [[Agri-World]] reduced to waste, the Tallarn have been forced to make use of Mechanised Armour and APC's APCs in order to safely move their infantry across the barren wasteland of their homeworld. As a result, the Tallarn Desert Raiders are also well known in their use of armoured warfare and their tank crews are some of the most renowned in the Imperium.{{Fn|33a}}
==Combat Doctrine==
==Weapons and equipment==
As special weapons, the Tallarn prefer the [[plasma gun]] and the [[missile launcher]]. Both weapons suit the Tallarn preference for hit and run attacks, and are prized for their ability to deliver a crippling blow as well as for their relative ease of transport.{{Fn|5}}
