A Kanak Skull Taker

The Kanak Skull Takers are an Imperial Guard Regiment from the planet Kanak.[1]

Battle Style

The Kanaks are savage, tattooed warriors and are easily able to match the brutality of races such as Orks. Kanak warriors are armed for close combat, and regiments utilize Ogryns and Rough Riders.[1]

Weapons & Equipment

Kanak Skull Takers prefer Flamers, however they rarely use heavy weapons due to the feral nature of the regiment.[1]

Notable Regiments

  • 838th, 839th, 840th, and 841st Kanak Skull Takers Regiments - Disappeared on Donoria Prime under mysterious circumstances.[2]

Notable Campaigns & Engagements

  • 999.M41 - Donoria Sector. After the Warpstorm codified Inchoate Rage caused a Webway breach in the Donoria Sector, thousands of Donorian Fiends rampaged across Donoria Prime for months. The 838th to 841st Kanak Skulltakers, alongside the 331st Vitrian Dragoons and 122nd Savlar Chem-Dogs regiments were ordered to put down the infestation and close the Webway breach. Only after the 198th Cadians arrived on Donoria Prime to reinforce their comrades was it discovered that they had disappeared, along with the Donorian fiends, leaving behind nothing save idling vehicles. Two other planets in the Donoria sector were also devoid of any intelligent life. No evidence pointing to a culprit was ever found, save that of a calling card fearing a steel serpent pinned to the dead planetary governor's head.[2]
