Tanith First (And Only)
![]() |
The Tanith First (And Only) are a Imperial Guard unit, that originally hail from the planet of Tanith. Unfortunately, a Chaos war fleet fucks up their planet and they were the only survivors to make it off their planet. The Tanith are masters of stealth enough to make Creed envy them, and most of the Tanith are expert marksmen but they like to fix bayonets called "Straight Silver" to impale Chaos worshipers. The Tanith First speak Low Gothic with a Scottish or Irish accent and like to play bagpipes in battle= BADASS thus normally regarded as Scottish Ninja Assassins.
Made famous by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Turn back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Tanith First and Only are largely the subject of the Sabbat World Crusades stories as they are part of the massive campaign to blast chaos a new one in the chronicles. They are led by veteran commissar Ibram Gaunt, who rescued their regiment from their dying homeworld, thus making the less-than-4000-strong First Tanith regiment, the ONLY regiment (possibly the ONLY tanith left in the Universe).
The Tanith are woodsmen by heritage, and are excellent trackers/hunters/and pretty awesome in everything else that involves sneaking around and being better than your shadow one is probably right behind you right now...DON'T LOOK!. Every Tanith also has a remarkable sense of direction, as on their homeworld, the trees themselves move and those fucks up every new map people try to make of their woodland (what dicks).
