Tallarn Desert Raider Army

I have been collecting at painting a Tallarn Desert Raiders army for many years now so I thought it was time to get them all out to see how far I have come.  I still want to get another squad, a couple more rough riders, 3 Leman Russ and 3 Chimera to round it off.  Then maybe some more flyers or heavy armour.

Tallarn Armour and Air Power

Finished up a couple of Leman Russ and some Air support for my Tallarn

More Tau and Tallarn

 Managed to get my Two Tetras finished alone with another battle suit.  Added soft tone shade to them and three existing suits just to dirty them up a bit.

More Tau basecoated Ready for painting 

Also some heavy armour for the Tallarn

Tallarn Desert Raiders reinforcements

Finally got round to finishing my Tallarn Mukaali Rough Rider Squadron.  Only took 8 years!  Sadly these are NLA from forge world these days. I also managed to get a Leman Russ done for much needed support.

Pictures of my completed Tallarn army so far.  Just finished the Mukaali Rough Rider and have 4 more to paint.  Also have a few tanks in various stages to give them their much need armour support.

Imperial Guard

Finally got round to varnishing my Tallarn Desert Raiders and Praetorian's.  Think I just need to add some burnt grass to the Tallarn bases

Tallarn Desert Raiders Chimera

Finished the first Chimera for the Tallarn army.  Might have a play with some weathering powders at some point.

Tallarn Desert Raiders Sentinels

Managed to get two sentinels painted.  I still have two more to go.
