In eight-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the omnitruncated 8-simplex honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). It is composed entirely of omnitruncated 8-simplex facets.

The facets of all omnitruncated simplectic honeycombs are called permutahedra and can be positioned in n+1 space with integral coordinates, permutations of the whole numbers (0,1,..,n).
A* 8 lattice
The A*
8 lattice (also called A9
8) is the union of nine A8 lattices, and has the vertex arrangement of the dual honeycomb to the omnitruncated 8-simplex honeycomb, and therefore the Voronoi cell of this lattice is an omnitruncated 8-simplex
