What is most likely I that a regiment is about 8,000 men.

That's Creed's 8 Cadian.
Some Valhallan Regiments probably have tens of thousands of men. Krieg to.

Not to mention that there's a regiment in the Eisenhorn novels which numbers 750,000 soldiers. Yes, that is one regiment.

A 'regiment' in 40k is not what we think of as a 'regiment'; rather, 'regiment' appears to be a general term for all the soldiers raised from one planet in a single founding. If the planet in question is a hive world, that could easily be millions; if it's an agri-world, it might only be a few thousand.

What regiment in Eisenhorn is 750,000?
