Hello everyone,
I finally finished painting all my guard so I figured I'd start a blog to chronicle the occasional game or IG painting project!
The Tallarn 23rd Light is a light infantry regiment consisting mostly of infantry, rough riders, sentinels, and salamanders (the heavy armor in the pics below is detached from other regiments). The Tallarn approach to warfare emphasizes manuever and rapid flanking attacks.
Here are some photos:

Side shot, this month's Ioria campaign pledge, tech priest w servitors, is barely visible on top of the building
My company commander, Captain Scheherazade. She has been leading my army since 2001
Red 2 Squad (Second Squad, Red Platoon)
Each of my platoons has 35 troopers, 3 10-trooper infantry squads and a platoon command squad. I have 3 Tallarn platoons: Gold, Red, and Blue and 2 non-Tallarn Platoons: Jade and Grey (Grey is not yet finished, I think I'll buy and paint up some Victoria Miniatures female Praetorians at some point in the future...but I want to focus on my Chaos for now)
Jade 2 Squad
My favorite trooper, Sgt Haroun, squad leader for Blue 2
It's just a flesh wound...
I also have 2 veteran squads. Here is one of them, the Desert Rats Veteran Squad. I'm sure most of you can identify where these models came from.
Some stormtroopers
This stormie squad was a vow for last year's Lutum campaign
6 of my 15 Sentinels. I have a sentinel problem. As noted at the top, I often bring recon-themed Tallarn lists to tournaments and I bring plenty of sentinels along.
My Tanith Squad, back when we had the 3rd Codex regimental doctrines I would sometimes give this squad the infiltrate ability. It seemed appropriate.
My ogryns, the Squad Leader Throk is armed with a door. I'd like to think an ogryn would use a door as a melee weapon
Primary Psyker Wojni and 3 priests, Ziyad, Xavier, and Badra
The Desert Scimitars Rough Rider Squad
Four of my 7 commissars: Guderian, Abra, Kadabra, and Von Paulus
My other 3 Commissars: Yorick, Sadat, and Mannerheim
My objective markers
And now onto my vehicles...
One of my Salamander Scout tanks, the back slides out so these can also become Griffons or Wyverns
My Valkyrie/Vendetta
4 of my 5 Chimeras, I prefer infantry heavy lists with a smattering of armor so I usually don't use very many Chimeras in a single game
Iron Duke, one of my 4 Leman Russes
Emperor's Will, another Leman Russ
I probably won't post too regularly, but I'll post an occasional update from time to time.
I'm currently in an escalation map campaign and my partner and I just lost our HQ map tile.
In this week's game he brought his mech list and I brought my hybrid list. Lists are submitted at the campaign's start.
Here is a photo of last week's game.
Ccripts spot the enemy Vulture right before it turns them to paste (queue "Ride of the Valkyries")
Conscripts say "Gulp!"
Enjoy!
