The '''Necromunda 8th''' are a famous [[Imperial Guard]] regiment from the Necromunda hive world. They are called the "Spiders" based on due to the fact that the regiment's soldiers are drawn from Necromunda's Spider Clan.

The 8th Spider Clan is composed the dominant gang of members the lower levels of Hive Palantine. For centuries they have received arms from the Necromundan Spider Clan, famous [[Imperial Governor]] of Necromunda in exchange for its ferocity throughout keeping rebellious gangs and other anarchic forces under control.

The Spider Clan is the dominant gang of the lower levels of Hive Palantine. For centuries they have received arms from the Governor of the hive in exchange for keeping the criminal activities of the other gangs under control. This is why the Spiders are seen as official Planetary Defense Forces of Necromunda. The PDF in turn forms a base for Imperial Guard regimental foundings. When the Spiders enter the ranks of the Guard, they are organized into platoons formed by a whole gang; officers are prominent individuals within Spider Clan, respected and feared by the gangers. The Imperium's general practice of recruiting hive world gangers in the Guard has always proven highly effective, as the soldiers are already experienced in combat and weaponry.
