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.

The Tanith First and Only are best known for their participating in the [[Sabbat Worlds]] Crusade, which began in 755.M41. During the Crusade, the Ghosts' expertise in covert operations was instrumental in the liberation of a number of worlds. However, rivalries with other, more illustrious regiments (in particular, the [[Jantine Patricians]] and the [[Volpone Bluebloods]]) often put the Ghosts at risk.
