Yeah, the only reason the Ghosts stand any chance against them is by using their stealth cloaks and taking advantage of terrain and Volpone arrogance. Other than that, the average Volpone soldier far outclasses the average Tanith soldier in actual combat.

[@Benthesniperof8]

​@@camerapasteurize7215tell that to any of the actual Tanith scouts. See how long you remain in one piece. Say it to any of the survivors of the chaos world deep cover operation, you'll not even finish the sentence before being impaled on Tanith silver. Tanith 1st as a whole, is way more utilitarian than almost any other imperial guard force. Only the hyper focused regiments like Elysians, Krieg, Steel Legion etc, are more utilitarian as regiments of infantry. Krieg field combined arms regiments, meaning their infantry always has tanks and artillery that are their own guys, and are in sync and work well together. Elysians for their grav chute airborne deployment favorable methods. Very niche but ultimately able to fill both a mainline deployment and airborne deployment makes them more versatile. And Steel Legion cause they don't use infantry Regiments, they use "mechanised" regiments. Infantry supported by IFV and APCs that are under the same command structure allows for a more potent assault and response force.
