Silly idea I'm sure, but I'm curious to know who people will think win in a game of Hide And Seek. Lets say a company of the raven guard versus the whole Tanith first and only. The game is who can spot each other the easiest while being totally unseen.
Discuss!

I would have to say the Tanith, mostly because I'm a big fan of the book series and firmly believe that those guys can apparently hide from anything and not get caught.

I'm currently reading the series and enjoying it, but let's face it, the Tanith's modus operandi is basically to creep stealthily forward and engage from the front at first sight of the enemy while a few squads slip past enemy lines.
They're pretty badass but the way Dan Abnett writes their engagements, they should be long dead by now (remember, they are light infantry):
Attacking CSM head-on: check
Attacking superior forces head-on: check
Attacking heavily armored forces head-on: check
Trench warfare: check
Siege warfare (as in standing on the walls, repelling enemy attacks): check
Assaulting fortifications: check
Bayonet charges: check
That's only by Book three ( Necropolis).
He also wraps them in a thick layer of plot armor. Corbec and 60 men caught in the open and engage 200+ heavily armored Zoicans? Next scene, Corbec and most men intact moving up. Zoicans? Dead.
Or scenes like Or
They get caught up in impossible fights all the time and just fight in the open until they prevail or reinforcements arrive. Not the best way to operate as light/stealth infantry.
And finally, let's face it: they're only human. Raven Guard are more than human. Growing up on a difficult-to-navigate forest world does not make you superhuman (even though DA might think they are, with Tanith apparently having defeated CSM in close combat one-on-one and lived, and with M'koll outstealthing a DE Mandrake - haven't gotten to that part yet though).

The only time I remember the Tanith defeating Chaos Marines without help is when they ambushed a lone World Eater with half a company, lol.

Actually, it's seven World Eaters ( pg 265, The Founding), which is possible, given how outnumbered they were and that they were ambushed.
You're probably thinking of Fortis Binary, where they kill two Iron Warriors, each of which last exactly one paragraph.
The CSM close combat thing comes from Only War: Hammer of the Imperium ( pg 30):
"And as a last resort, the Tanith are trained to use their signature silver warknives to deadly effect in close quarters. Some of their most skilled melee combatants are even whispered to have faced down Chaos Space Marines in personal combat and survived to tell the tale of crossing blades with these terrifying foes."
And Mkoll outstealthing a DE Mandrake comes from me reading Ghostpedia and Wikipedia:
"Mkoll's skills are impressive: he has destroyed a Chaos Dreadnought, outstealthed, outsmarted and killed a Dark Eldar Mandrake assassin unaided, and personally killed Chaos warlord Sagittar Slaith."
Like I said, I haven't gotten that far yet so I don't know which book that takes place or under what circumstances, just saying it's a bit over the top as they are only human. Taking out the Dreadnought was pretty badass though, and it's vision was damaged, plus Mkoll used his surroundings to defeat it, so I guess that one's possible.

Taking out the dreadought involved jury-rigging his lasgun to turn it into a krak grenade, lol, and Slaith he killed with a lot of explosives, a trap and a really good distraction.
I don't remember the Mandrake, but a quick search reveals that it was written in 2003 - before the pseudodaemon retcon that turned Mandrakes into the invisible shadow-walking monsters they are today. The "Mandrake" that Mkoll killed was just a regular Dark Eldar scout.
The Tanith vs CSM in close combat thing sounds like the hyperbole typical of Fantasy Flight's splatbooks - remember, this is the same company that decided that Battle Sisters can shoot laser beams out their eyes.

True, and like I already said, I'm fine with that one. No opinion on Slaith, haven't gotten there yet. Quoted that for the Mandrake.

Thought that might be the case, but didn't follow up on it.
Furyou Miko wrote:The Tanith vs CSM in close combat thing sounds like the hyperbole typical of Fantasy Flight's splatbooks - remember, this is the same company that decided that Battle Sisters can shoot laser beams out their eyes. Perhaps. I don't know where the laser beams thing is from but I rather like their RPG books. Have awesome art as well. Hammer of the Emperor is actually really good despite that.
Even with Mkoll outsmarting his enemies in believable situations, the Tanith still engage in frontal assault against superior forces pretty much all the time, or somehow successfully defend positions against overwhelming odds without any real tactics other than holding on for dear life. I can make the effort to find the individual passages for the examples above if you like (but you'll have to promise to read them ).
Again, I really enjoy reading the series, but they are a bit OP for normal humans. And having normal humans outdoing genetically modified superhumans at the apex of an already over-the-top universe is a bit much.
Edit: I guess what I'm trying to say here is that the Tanith aren't actually that stealthy for a supposed stealth light infantry unit. Tactics mostly consist of engaging enemies frontally (pretty much right away when they are detected) while small groups slip past to use tube charges for sabotage and so on.
Examples: Fortis Binary (frontal assault through trenches, tube charge victory follows), Menazoid Epsilon (Corbec's frontal assault, Gaunt goes off with 5 men or so, tube charge victory follows), Sapiencia (frontal assault on fortifications, one squad slips past, tube charge victory follows), Voltemand (stealth approach along river, then frontal assault, tube charge victory follows), Caligula (Corbec's frontal assault, no tube charges ), Monthax (frontal assault, squads engage as soon as the enemy is spotted; one squad and Mkoll alone slip past, no tube charges ).
Have I mentioned tube charges?

I don't know much about Raven Guard other than they're like Space Batman? May be mixing them up with Night Lords, I dunno.
My instincts want me to say that the Tanith would be better at using the environment to hide (they have camo cloaks and not power armour, lol), but the Raven Guard will have better gadgets and gizmos, able to out-tech the Ghosts and detect them that way.
I actually think the Tanith numbers will hurt them here. It's probably easier for a single squad to stay hidden vs the whole regiment.

Sons of Corax actually paints a pretty good picture of how stealthy the raven guard are. A RG captain is talking to a wounded guardsmen and using the conversation as a way to bait a chaos dreadnought. When the moment is right a dozen or so raven guard come out of the shadows and kill it, when they were in the same room as the guardsman.

Space Marines can hear your heart beating. The auspex systems in their helmets out-tech cameleoline cloaks, to include thermographic and ultraviolet visual spectrums, and an entire company of the Tanith First-and-Only is some twenty-two hundred soldiers.
Certain individuals of the Tanith (Mkoll for one), and those that are the "Scout Corps" might be able to out-stealth the RG, but for the most part, the Tanith are just light infantry, not stealth masters.

This is disagreed with several times when the entire regiment 'disappear' between one heartbeat and the next as they travel past friendly positions on their way to their assignments.
As for the frontal assault (Sorry, I mean 'distraction attack) + saboteurs, that's kind of the whole schtick of a light infantry regiment in 40k, lol. In theory anyway. Most generals are apparently so incompetent that they just see 'infantry' and throw them at the front line, however.
Books like Salvation's Reach and the latter parts of Guns of Tanith are how Light Infantry are supposed to be used.

They have camo-cloaks. Doesn't make the entire regiment "stealth masters." Mkoll and his scouts are on a different tier than the rest of the regiment.

How IG generals usually operate has nothing to do with how stealthy the Tanith are. Single squads slipping past enemy lines might be impressive for IG but again, not that stealthy. Steathlier than most, sure. Other than that, they do frequently engage frontally and throw away any stealth advantage they have.

Exactly, the Tanith don't stand a chance. They're only human.
I'll say again, I like the Tanith. They're my favourite IG regiment. But they would be a lot less interesting if the entire regiment could easily outstealth RG, outstealth Eldar rangers, and so on. That would be over the top and make them rather silly. And let's not forget the Tanith include Hive Worlders form Verghast as well, who are definitely not innately stealthy.

So just throw a hive of bees or three at them and the sound will make them go crazy, besides, that never prevented the Tanith from ambushing those 5 CSM in the book where they did it. Same with Auspex and all that.

Uh, those were World Eaters, who are blood-crazed beserkers that charge into melee whenever they can. We're talking Raven Guard here, probably the stealthiest chapter out there (along with their own successor chapters like the Raptors).
Again, Tanith are human, not psycho-indoctrinated, genetically engineered superhumans. They grew up on a difficult to navigate forest world with moving trees that was otherwise rather chilled. They're good, incredibly so for what they are. But there are limits to what normal humans can do in the 40k universe.
Besides, normal space marine scouts should be just as stealthy. And they also have camo cloaks.

My mistake then, haven't gotten that far yet
I think the way SM are written depends on from whose perspective. Series with other factions as the heroes will downplay their strengths (for example, having CSM as little more than background fodder that are easily taken out with lasguns to make the protagonists more awesome), while others with SMs as the heroes (including Abnett's own Iron Snakes) will stress their superhuman nature and make them seem incredibly OP, shrugging off lasgun and tank fire, moving across a room faster than the human heart can beat once, and so forth (though even the CSM in Gaunt's Ghosts can tear Basilisks apart with their bare hands).
I think the HH also stresses this (especially ADB's books) so maybe this will be the way forward to justify their tiny fluff numbers. And let's face it, if all it takes to take a CSM's head off is to set a lasgun's charge to max then there wouldn't be any CSMs left now, would there? Lasguns are cheap and reliable, not a kill-everything-with-maximum-charge weapon.

... Where? Tanith have lasguns, frag grenades... their heavy weapons are rocket launchers, their special weapons are flamers, and their demo guys have krak grenades.
Where's the marine-killing gear there?
