'''Tanith Magna''' was the planetary capital of the forest world [[Tanith]]. It contained the main government building known as the Assembly and was the seat of the planetary governer, known as [[The Elector of Tanith]].
===Description===
Tanith Magna was an impressive bulwark of Imperial might in an otherwise nature ridden world. Large spires and towers soared up from within large basalt walls. The air around filled with brazier smoke and pennants and banners fluttered in the breeze. Throughout the city there was the constant playing of the Tanith Pipes.
The city itself was laid out not unlike the circles of standing stones that are common among primitive human cultures.
Orbital bombardment from the Chaos Armada leveled the majority of the population centers, while shock troops were deployed to prevent the escape of any important Imperial personnel left alive. During this fight, the Tanith 2nd and 3rd were destroyed, the survivors being reformed into the [[Tanith First and Only]].
