The '''Tanith First''', officially the '''Tanith First Light Infantry'''{{Fn|5f}} but , more commonly known as the '''Tanith First and Only''' or simply as the '''Tanith First''', was an [[Imperial Guard Regiment]] raised on the planet [[Tanith]] during the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. They were also colloquially known as '''"Gaunt's Ghosts"''', after their commanding officer, [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2b}}
Primarily light infantry, the name "Ghosts" referred to their superlative stealth and reconnaissance skills, but it was also a melancholy reminder of the fact that their homeworld, [[Tanith]], was destroyed by the forces of [[Chaos]] shortly after their initial Founding.{{Fn|1d}}{{Fn|2b}}
