Editing Tallarn Desert Raiders (section)

== Modelling ==

The old metal models are far too expensive, and unvaried, for the average gamer to make an entire army out of them. Newer official art of the Raiders make them almost look like normal Guardsmen but with cloth wrapped around their heads - which PuppetsWar and Max Mini offer with their [http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=277 Desert Troopers Heads] and [https://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/head-swaps/desert-dwellers-heads-bits Desert Dweller Heads] respectively. [[Mad Robot Miniatures]] not only sells [https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_10&products_id=234 Shemagh Heads] and [https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_10&products_id=235 Desert Veteran Heads,] but [https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_14&products_id=239 Desert Torsos] as well. Victoria miniatures has a [https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/regiments-of-the-galaxys-finest/products/desert-scorpions-10-man-squad complete sculpt] available, but it’s a bit expensive. Forge World used to sell them, but not anymore. To play them on the table top your going to have to buy two whole squads of Veterans and some Plasma guns. Both expensive in real money and points. But if you’re playing IG you're used to getting screwed over in both IRL and the fluff, like always. Gripping Beasts "Arabian Spearmen and Archers" combined with Wargame Atlantics "Les Grognards" could give you some good looking cheap lookalikes. Another solid option is the Frostgrave Crewmen from [[North Star Military Figures]], especially when combined with Cadian bits.
