The '''Necromunda 8th''' are a famous [[Imperial Guard]] regiment from the [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] hive world. They are called the "Spiders" due to the fact that the regiment's soldiers are drawn from Necromunda's Spider Clan. The Spider Clan is a powerful Necromundan [[gang]] famed throughout the Necromunda subsector for its ferocity.
The Spider Clan is the dominant gang of the lower levels of Hive Palantine. For centuries they have received arms from the [[Imperial Governor]] of Necromunda in exchange for keeping rebellious gangs and other anarchic forces under control. Consequently the Spiders are officially regarded as Necromunda's own army or [[Planetary Defense Force]]. The PDF in turn forms a base for Imperial Guard regimental [[founding]]s.
