Description
When it was first discovered, Tallarn was a verdant, tropical world of jungles and forests. The planet was incorporated into the Imperium as a paradise of agriculture.

Then came the treason of Warmaster Horus and his savage wars of betrayal.

The traitor IV Legiones Astartes, the Iron Warriors, sought to conquer the world for their own ends. In preparation for a planetary invasion, Tallarn was bombarded from orbit with virus weaponry. Within the hour, the biological agents had rendered the planet's humid vegetation down into mud and dust and killed most of the population caught in the middle of evacuation.

As the turncoat Space Marines landed, survivors of the cataclysm emerged from underground shelters and turned the world's remaining military equipment and vehicles on the invaders. The planet surface was still tainted by radiation and poisons from the initial bombing, making infantry combat nigh-impossible for mortal and Space Marine alike, and so the war for Tallarn was mostly fought between armored vehicles and god-machines, with tens of thousands of tanks, transports and Titans clashing in a struggle for the control of the ruined world.
