-First of: Although one of the most beloved Imperial Guard Regiments, [[Games Workshop]] still doesn't manage to produce rules to really allow playing <s>a</s> ''the'' regiment of Gaunt's Ghosts. However, if you are willing to work around some things, it is possible.
+Rejoice, for after years of need, we finally got the rules to properly play Gaunt's Ghosts with the new 9th Edition Codex as a small specialist command squad kind of deal. The rules are fluffy and still effective (if a little cumbersome with all different weapons and stats).
-* With the rules for Sly Marbo there now is an obvious and fun (even if not very effective) choice for Mkvenner or Mkoll. Good as distraction and objective grabber though.
+If you want to field a whole regiment of them, the freedom to choose traits is fully yours, however, only tanks get a camo option. Still, for long time fans of the books the new Codex is the best it has been for years. Only Creed, Kell, Pask, and Yarrick had to die for it, so seems about a fair trade for these bad ass motherfuckers.

	* Trooper "Try Again" Bragg: One of the only heavy weapons Guardsman who made Space Marines look like pussies. His poor aim gives him the nickname "Try Again," but when you can haul around an autocannon around on your own, who needs to aim? Bragg is typically a gentle giant (except to the Archenemy) who enjoys nothing more than brewing the Tanith's signature booze, sacra, but he's strong enough to cave in skulls with a punch, and sharper than he seems. Bragg's moral compass leads him to turn in Trooper Lijah Cuu for circumstantial reasons when Caffran is accused of murdering civilian. But when Cuu is (incorrectly) exonerated and merely flogged for looting, he comes after the big guy on the battlefield of Phantine. Bragg still almost manages to decapitate Cuu with a swung ammo case, even with a warknife through his heart.		* Trooper "Try Again" Bragg: One of the only heavy weapons Guardsman who made Space Marines look like pussies.

	To bring a long story short, Tanith was destroyed by the forces of Chaos just shortly after they finished mustering three regiments (We did it before it was cool to do so, Cadia). Only one full regiment was able to make it off planet. With no functioning command staff, due to them being very much dead, a Colonel-Commissar by the name of Ibram Gaunt was assigned to look after the regiment. Gaunt was promised that if he led them to glory in the campaign, he and his regiment would be granted one of the conquered worlds for them to keep as New Tanith. Naturally they become complete badasses, known for taking missions deemed too suicidal even for space marines, and coming out stronger than ever. They haven't gotten that world yet though.

	Thus begins 20 years (16 books and counting) of complete awesomeness.

	It should also be noted that the series as a whole started as Grimdark, but as early as the second book, moved away from it considerably. While many elements still exist, for the most part, it is downright heroic fantasy compared to many publications in the 40k universe. To put as a comparison, in general, while a lot of major characters die throughout the series, in each book, generally, the unit as a whole ends up BETTER off than it did at the beginning of the book...
