Tallerians (Warhammer 40,000)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tallerians are a fictional race in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Not much information can be found on them, but they are mentioned in Warhammer 40,000 Codex: Tau (Chambers, Haines and McNeill, 2001). According to some sources they are referred to as Tallerian Dog-Soldiers, are dog-like in stature but can walk on their hind legs, and have scaly/reptilian skin. They are said to use primitive weapons or high-tech weapons given to them by the Tau in exchange for them acting as mercenaries for them, but apparently only against the Imperium, possibly in retaliation for the virus bombing of a Tallerian world declared 'Exterminatus'.
Tallerians use bore weaponry of the same strength as an Imperial lasgun, but which utilises an unknown ore that has baffled the Adeptus Mechanicus for some time. Understandably, they seek the secrets to this technology, in order to further increase their own firepower.
A small head picture of the Tallerian dog-soldiers is shown on page 116 of the 3rd edition Warhammer 40,000 rule book.
