Description
Just an old drawing I decided to finish up, while you all wait for the bigger projects.
To be honest I never really liked the Arabian/British approach when it comes to the Tallarn. Usually they're portrayed as either exotic Arabian riders of old, or daring British commandos and armored units from world war 2 Africa. I wanted to try something more gritty and less romanticized.
So here we have a Tallarn infantryman based off of soldiers from the Iran-Iraq war

orig05.deviantart.net/a99a/f/2…
if you don't know the details, you should look it up, it's pretty grimdark stuff. WW1 style trench warfare, chemical weapons, human waves to clear minefields, and religious fanaticism.
I also threw in a bit of Mujahideen influence to keep with the pious guerrilla fighter concept.

Hey man- Firstly I wanted to say you have done some of the best 40k art I have ever seen. Its incredible. In any case, I was wondering- your work seems to make 40k a little less grimdark...I guess I get that feling from the moderney-ness, and the fact that I think its not nearly as overblown as so much other stuff- your guys seem like actual people! I was wondering were you intending to make the setting a bit lighter/ less super grimdark? Thanks man, keep up the amazing work!
