“Have you seen the Tallarn raiders around here?“
“Oh! Not to worry sir! they’ve gone to look at that pond over there. They’ll be back in minute.”
“Why?”
“Well, it’s the biggest amount of natural water they’ve ever seen, I believe they’re trying to contain it all.”
“They do know that there’s oceans on this planet?”
“Yes sir, but we’ll get there when we get there, they may go into shock”
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't even a word for sea or ocean in their native language.
@@edim108 well, if I do remember correctly, the Arabs (and likely others) noted the vast deserts of Arabia and North Africa as an ocean or sea of sand. I would very much hypothesize that the words do exist, but perhaps have different contexts.
Tallarn defeated the Iron Warriors.
IN A TANK BATTLE.
All the flex you need.
Beating the Iron Hands would be more impressive.
They beat two Chaos invasions (though with some Eldar help the second time) these guy are hardcore, that's some badass stuff yes.
In a tank battle, specifically, yes. In general, no. The Iron Warriors are basically Chaos Imperial First with a Primarch as strategically brilliant as Girlyman.

‐ Alem Mahat, The Book of Cain, Chapter IV, Verse XXI1
To think that somewhere on Tallarn there's Cult Worshiping Ciaphas Cain as Emperors prophet is absolutely hilarious
Speaking of Cain did GW killed him for real or is it a rumor?
I choose to believe that Cain lives
@@BSOE3058 Oh. It's one of those then. Shit.
@@thil2894in his books Amberly says he died and was then buried with full military honor but is always listed as being on duty since he had been declared dead several times already
@@thil2894 cain is dead for real according to amberly
Grew up with Tallarn, played them in the early 2000s, love'em, miss'em. Impacted me to the point I joined my nations Army, as an armor officer because of it. Thanks for a blast from my childhood arch!
Mmmm Dessert Warfare. Far more tasty than Desert Warfare
The never ending love story between arch and misspelled titles continues
:) As far as i know, the swiss are experts in dessert warfare.
Yes, but desert warfare is grittier.
Did someone say a food war?
This must be what they mean by "food fight"
Who does not love a combination of German north africa forces, their british counterpart, and a dash of operation desert storm in a single package?
It's an armored forces in a desert planet! The best playground of armored warfare!
Also the Lawrence of Arabia lads and the mujahideen, and the fremen
There's a ton ways for tallarn to be depicted and I wish they got way more love, there's gonna be way more desert or barren planets in the Galaxy than jungles or Ice given how rare water is
They should be one of the highest sought after regiments
@@PodreyJenkin138 How rare water is? Is this a heretofore unknown to me feature of _40k,_ or is this your particular misunderstanding about the universe?
@@boobah5643 actual water on planets in this galaxy, the amount of desert or barren worlds we have found compared to the amount with any form of H2O (since many have such a small amount or are too hot or cold or still don't have a atmosphere etc)
Essentially the rarity of garden worlds that are temperate or able to support a biosphere and planet life
I guess ice worlds also count
It's not a misunderstanding I'm correct
Need a Tallarn story with a with Colonel Commissar Lawrence Schwartzkopf.
Tallarn Desert raiders: hold Biel-Tan forces off.
Biel-Tan: actually explain why they're there.
.
And so they're on good terms now.
Amazing that diplomacy actually works. At least sometimes. LOL
The eldar know how to TALK?!?
And as usual for Eldar, they tried "diplomacy" only AFTER they got their shit kicked in.
@@60sSamas much as any animal does.
And they call us monkies. Ha!
Tallarn really earn its place in armored warfare when their first recorded actions were against a majority of the Iron Warriors Legion, and they survived that heavy fisted beating from those calculated siege masters.
I remember a audiobook drama about Tallarn soon after Tallarn was made into what it was, the narrator did such an awesome job of tone to give how depressing a situation it was
What was it called?
cant recall,, on one of the audible omnibuses they have there, was about a space marine reviving a damaged titan by making the surviving pilot into a vegetable lol so he could continue fighting@@PodreyJenkin138
@@PodreyJenkin138 Tallarn I believe.
@@jacklang3314 cool I'm gonna look for it thanks!
This is what I loved about the 40k community, even when GW seems to want to do so much to kill this franchise cool people sharing great lore keeps it alive
Damn i need to find that!@@jacklang3314
Guardsman: “You see Commissar, there is a second S in dessert, not to be confused with desert.”
Commissar: “YOU DARE DESERT YOUR POST GUARDSMAN?!”
Guardsman: “No, commissar wait!”
On the upside of working in the desert. All you need to do to keep your las mags charged is leave it on your dashboard.
The Tallarn Desert Raiders are my favorite. Their hit-and-run tactics seek to do as much damage to the enemy as possible while taking a minimum of casualties. Because Tallarn does not have billions of bodies to stuff into a meat-grinder, they at least try to use their manpower resources efficiently.
The Tallarn prove that the Guard can be brave, cunning, and effective without being overtly suicidal.
Desert guerilla tank regiment. Yeah, love these badasses! They're one of my favorite regiments of the Guard.
Yes, gimme that desert guerilla warfare shit!
Mmm, that's some good shit right here ❤
Don't you mean dessert gorilla war?
You would think that a single Tank shell being fired, could cause a planetary cataclysm under the circumstances of a post virus bombing. All it would take was just a few embers to set off the gasses and sludge from the bombing
Anyone else instantly recall CHAOS DESCENDS (by Karl The Deranged) the moment Arch said desert ?
Been waiting for you to cover these sandy Emperor-botheres ever since I read the Cain novels!
aH The Tallaran Dessert Raiders. I too would raide the kitchen for dessert if I was in the army.
Ahh yes, the Tallaran Desert Body Bags featured in the Taros Campaign.
What you mean the campaign where their first freaking action wasn't to capture the water treatment facilities on a damn desert world?
@@aazz9676 That was after they figured they brought "enough" water and everything would be fine.
"Congratulations, you have beaten the Iron Warriors!"
"We won? Praise the Emperor! What did we win?"
"A sad feeling."
"...aww."
You have to wonder if they didn't capture some Iron Warrior tanks and such to customize it.
After this winter (that is still not over) a bone dry, hot as hell desert planet is starting to sound almost cozy
Come on down to Florida, we've been in the 70s almost all winter long, and even climbed into the 90s just yesterday.
@nadrewod999 do all the old people actually suck up enough moisture to make it a desert?
Even as far north as Virginia, it's been more of an extended late fall or early spring than an actual winter. It freezes regularly enough, but this week it's hit highs in the mid-50's.
But see when you are in scorching sun, choking dust and hot sand you dream about snow and blizzard
Great, more Red Shirts.
0:40 - You've certainly covered their Primarch.
If it was that simple to destroy that Chaos artefact, they'd do that.
I like the idea of Tarlarn being ultimate desert tank force. But what they really lack in their fluff is strong Areonautica forces, at least in their PDF forces. All flexibility that they have, can't compare with ability to cover ground and destroy supply column provided by a pair of ground attack aircraft. Destroy a supply column, and desert will take largest of forces. Because tank and its crew is as good as their water and fuel gets them.
It is unfortunate that aeronautica forces are typically reserved for the imperial navy only. Because, again. Reducing the chances of a rouge regiment having all the tools it needs to sucsessfully rebel without getting stomped by every other loyal regiment around it.
@@Destroyer_V0 I had Tarlarn PDF in mind mostly, because many worlds field their own PDF areonautica. But yeach, combined arms as a whole is looked down upon by Munitorum, not including few select regiments. And yes, the Navy almost exclusively fields areonautica, not counting regiments like Phantine Air Corps.
You came to the wrong desert heretic!
I think the White Scars would really love this guys.
37:30 Three plasma gunners in one squad/fire team? That's going to have a high turnover rate.
Plasma gun, in the desert heat? Thats one hell of a recipe for disaster
Another top quality Lore Video. Thanks again from the Substar's for your work!
Space Afghanistan.
No, that's Armageddon
Always happy to see that there's a new episode
Chaos Marines: Alright, we just fly down there and get the artifact with zero civilian casualties. Yeah, but I promised Steve we'd virus bomb the next planet. Well a promise is a promise.
No, Steve the human can impossible have worked with Chaos 10000 years ago. He is to kind for that :p
A Steve always sometimes appreciates a promise kept possibly
You've done so many guard videos. Could you please do a few more xeno lore vids? Like on Eldar Guardians or Tau gue'vesa
Armoured Hit and Run and Ambush Warfare is awesome.
Ps: please release another video about aspect warriors, is my favorite serie in the channel
Forget these guys, now the Tallarn dessert raiders are the real menace
Ive got to imagine a Tallarn air mobile regiment operating in the desert would be absolutely terrifying
with all the hours of 40k content ive listened i couldve learned something useful like to fly fighter jets or all about plumbing but now im a warhammer scholar
You could always run scouting forces at night to get around the heat of a desert, most deserts get pretty cold at night. You'd pretty much have to operate at night anyway if you wanted any kind of STEALTH about your actions. Keeping the sand out of the engine, axel bearings, suspension mountings etc. seems like a bigger issue imo.
Happy to see more regiments of the militarum getting their own videos
Arch would you consider ever doing a video on surviving Regiments from The Imperial Army like The Lucifer Blacks? I'd love to hear your takes on shit The Old 100 got up to.
A fine regiment
Need an Arch video on Logistics or some book recommendations!
I love "Dessert Warfare"!
Sounds delicious. Like that Cow and Chicken episode where they end up not in a Desert, but a banana split that looks like the desert.
@@Bill-ix2zc I remember Cow and Chicken!
The lore king never went away.
Is he getting ready for taros campaign?
Tallarn always reminded me of Calth, until now. Thanks Arch!
The irony of a Dessert Raider using a Plasma gun isn't lost on most people I hope.
A stable connection to the warp. That sounds like a web way portal that leads to a collapsed part of the web way.
only thing the people on the planet heard before their flesh started to melt away was a faint yell from orbit: "fuck you in particular!"
Wouldn't... a virus bomb... on a permanent chaos connection be like... really grandfatherly bad?
EDIT: OK. So chaos did it. Cool. That makes sense.
Surprised you haven't covered this before, was awesome!
So literally every war world was some kind of paradise until there was a massive war, and the planet turned almost uninhabitable?
Tallarn executioner is a great book 📕 might read it again , the Iron warrior invasion of Tallarn was brutal
I had a hunch back in the day that GW would discontinue the metal guard so over the coarse of the year before I picked of a platoons worth of troops and heavy guns. Talarn were the last ones to come in and a month later, they were all dropped
In hope of refuge from the sky, we bury ourselves inside
I wish you'd get back to doing Horus Heresy and the events of the 42nd millennium. I do get that you don't care for some of the newer plot developments (I disagree, but I understand your rationale), but... Respectfully, they're not leaving... And there's a lot of stuff that's happened. I'd love to see your telling of the Lion's return, for what it's worth.
Wait...a squad is just twelve men?
(Ponders this.)
(Becomes shocked.)
But that's a rational unit size! This can't possibly Warhammer 40k!
Are there any giant God worms on this planet by any chance???
so they are 40k Fremen in tanks
And we never got a Tallarn book for Heresy 1.0 and seeing as we skipped to the end in 2.0 we probably won't. Also, we all know the desert raiders truck is a Toyota.
Thank you for this gift of water... wait, wrong desert warrior-people. How to make Fremen scarier? - give them Leman Russes and Desert Rats tactics.
Nice to see these tanky sandy dandys again. Remember seeing then in white dwarf about 20 years ago, always wondered why they never got more attention. Desert warfare and leman russ tanks, what's not to like?
Tallarn was one of my favorite heresy books. Highly recommend
Thank you for the awesome storytelling!
Thank you for the upload arch 🎉
round #2 : Can we get one on skitari?
Yeah, so these guys exist here on earth. I was one of them. Look up the Desert Rogues 1/64 Armor. We're the guys who drove tanks into Baghdad in 2003.
If any other Rogues see this, it's Doc Hill.
32:00 IT'S GOT CHICKEN LEGS!
They also worship Cain as a Prophet of the Emperor... and yes the only story I have read about the Tallarn guys is with Cain... the one with a Tallarn regiment champion being knocked down by a woman from Valhalla that is a head smaller then him.... with one hit or so....
Desert?
*Commissarial screeching intensifies*
This video needs a caveat stating that they will forget all of these tactics if they are fighting the t'au
Thanks
Oh no, not the eye-ron warriors.
Sounds more inspired by Dune Sietches than Lawrence
I'm all in for Dessert Warfare.
13:20 A RARE STRATEGY INDEED!
I miss these guys. Wish they, amongst others, would come out in plastic.
my favorite regiment
I was expecting some sort of 40k fremen from dune. But this is a bit more unique.
Praise the omnissiah!
So they fight like eldar?
Dessert warfare you say...
Finally, Emperor damn, I wish Arch had ordered and logical uploads instead of the chaos fuelled cluster fuck of topics and pointless remasters.
How did they not ignite the atmosphere with several million tank barrels going off?
Gee....we seem to have a death world caused by an insane war and all they have to offer the !mperium is superb fighting men....where have I heard that before?
Yo, When we getting a Tallarn mod for deserts of karak
I too am skilled in dessert warfare.
Cool strategies. Are there any examples of this force fighting outside of a desert world? It seems there tactics are heavily reliant on the attrition caused by the environment.
Is the background music from Fable? Where have I heard this background music before?
Strictly speaking, the Sahara is the largest *arid* desert on Earth. The title of largest desert in general actually goes to Antarctica. OK, needless pedantiam satisfied
You don't know your lore. Molech also had a stable gateway into the Warp. The Emperor used and so did Horus. So why would the gateway on Tallarn be so unusual as you say?
Are they the 40k equivilent of the Fremen?
Give them Hyluxses
A truck he says, when this is 40k, are there not hovercraft/something resembling a helicopter? Chinooks work great for cargo transport.
If it were up to me I'd tinker with something like the old Avrocar, a large ducted fan hovercraft that is rather saucer shaped, back in the 1950s when they first cooked up the thing, thinking to have a light scout vehicle, potentially replacing the GP, or Jeep, they couldn't get it to fly properly. But with the advent of Fly-By-Wire with the development of the F117 and later the B2, both delta wing craft, well the solution for the Avrocar has been had for decades and no body has put two and two together at all, except for me.
I think a 40k-ified variant might be cool. I mean who needs ancient Fly-By-Wire lost tech, when a Servitor should do the trick just fine, and Lasguns mounted on the thing sounds way better than a pair of M2 Browning machine guns, or perhaps a pair of anti'materiel rifles, be it the 12.7mm chambered variant, or the even better 20mm, if not something bigger because 40k years into the future if one does not take the attitude of "Go Big, or Go Home" one might not ever go home at all.
I'll just point out that instability was but one of the Avrocar's problems... and unfortunately, the vehicle they did build was little more than a hovercraft that didn't wear a skirt.
@boobah5643 that was then. And now, with modern advancements, maybe we can't work out all the kinks, but we could work out some. Maybe find new ones, but overall reduce the number of kinks, for a future generation to solve...
Fremen with armored vehicles. Keep talking... This old Armored Cav desert tanker is listening.
mm yee.. appears while chaos do butcher 99 out of a 100 systems it attacks , that 1 that survives appears to have a 100% chance to turn into some sort of realistic 'spartan' nightmare for well.. not just the other local milky way factions but chaos itself ..be it in the krieg theme , or like talan theme hmm... what be next i wonder , strikes me as with the extreme of radiation hel figthers , and extreme heat figthers ....sounds like its overdue with a ocean world born version of 'krieg' is missing ^^
dam though ,if talan fields a 1000 , i wonder how many krieg currently fields ,from a single planet if either of these two started to 'replicate' their environments in other systems..
Have you reacted to Project Morningstar ?
why do I feel Tallarn is supposed to be the entire middle east? I know they were the main base but it seems like there was more put into the lore for them
I think GWs biggest sin is their horrific misunderstanding of animal behavior 😂.
