The Tanith First and Only are also known as Gaunt's Ghosts as nicknamed by Hlaine "Mad Larks" Larkin, the Tanith Master Sniper, for their Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, and the death of their homeworld. They are an Imperial Guard regiment known for their stealth and reconnaissance abilities. Initially, three regiments had been levied from the world of Tanith, but a Chaos attack destroyed the planet as the regiment was preparing to debark, and in a desperate move, Gaunt ordered his men to evacuate, leaving him with just enough soldiers for a single regiment.
