Tallarn Redeemers (Lore + WIP)

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am totally terrified of how people are going to receive these,but I've been a lurker here for years and I just got out my old armies today. I really like to customize and personalize my units but I'm not the best at painting. Be kind *cringes*

 

Tallarn Redeemers

So awhile back I set about making a Space Marine army (previous edition). I wanted it to instantly look kinda different and have some fun fluff. Well, the coolest bits to me have always been the Thousand Sons and the have a kinda fun backstory so I based my army on that.

 

The army I came up with was called the “Tallarn Redeemers”. They are members of the Thousand Sons geneseed who remained loyalist. I gave them an arabian theme (I kinda love Dune so that was probably an influence).

 

 

The story goes that a detachment was on an extended mission before the Thousand Sons fell and they returned after their brothers had already betrayed the Emperor. Most of them were executed off the bat when the returned to Terra. The few that survived were taken prisoner, stripped of all weapons and armor and held for interrogation. However, this transpired about the same time as the Battle of Terra. During the battle, left in cells, the few remaining marines were said to have broken free and fought against Chaos. Fueled by a need to repent and armed with only a few spare scout sniper rifles they made an impressive number of kills.

 

]While not absolved of their sin, they were allowed to continue to operate secretly. Eventually they were re-entered as a successor chapter of unknown origin and are typically tasked with hunting down or battling the Thousand Sons.

 

As their gene seed is from the Thousand Sons, they are almost all psykers (the models all have glowing green eyes as a result). They field very few actual marines, mostly fielding scouts as they are hesitant to taint others with their geneseed. They mostly draw their stock from desert worlds, primarily Tallarn (home of the Tallarn raiders, IG unit).

 

There is something of a divide amongst the chapter- the veterans who were on Holy Terra during the battle considering themselves as the “true” members of the chapter and the rest of the chapter as “false brothers” who do not truly share in their sin. They fear that the new recruits will forget their mission once the veterans have all died. That is not to say no scouts become battle brothers, it just takes much longer than normal. The newer members take great pride in their heritage from Tallarn and are less concerned with the matter of their chapter’s past, wanting to move past it and do good works in the name of the Emperor.

 

The chapter’s specialty is desert combat, ambush tactics, and sniping. They have a deep hatred of psykers and the Thousand Sons. Their colors are desert tan and green with a touch of crimson for accents. They are typically deployed alongside Inquisitor allies (or in support of them) who keep an extra close eye on them for any inclination of heresy.

 

 

Named Characters

Scout Sgt. Aladdin: Once a great tribal prince from Tallarn Aladdin is a soft spoke but very effective leader. He is a veteran scout who has been around since almost after the fall.

 

Scout Sgt. Sinbad: Once a roguish bandit king on Tallarn, he has forsaken his outlaw lifestyle in favor of a life of service to the Emperor.

 

Scout Sgt. Amir: The only “old guard” veteran from the times of the heresy. He is the last surviving scout and trains the others in the true ways of combat. (I typically play him as Scout Sergeant Tellion).

 

Chapter Master Darwish: The eldest and wisest of the marines. He is mute, having been interrogated prior to the Battle of Terra and having his tongue ripped out. He is patient, silent, and brooding.

 

Capt. Layth: The second oldest marine in the chapter after Darwish. Layth is something of an X-factor, accomplishing assigned orders in whatever way he deems fit. Darwish trusts him completely, Layth serving as the “yin” to his “yang”. He leads the veteran assault marines of the chapter and fights with many chainswords. At one point he was a techmarine.

 

 

Status of the Project:

I stopped playing just before this edition came out. I’ve had a lot of things go down (for the better!) but I might get back into painting soong :-) My real passion is doing custom pieces.

 

Also- sorry for the totally potato camera I took pictures with.

I've run him as a few things. I've done techmarine or assault sergant. If I need a Capt. I use him as well. And yes- his backpack has servo-arm chainswords, because reasons.
