During the period of 153.[[M34]] to 184.[[M39]] the [[Imperium]] lost any contact and it was somewhere during these five millennia that the Marines turned to [[Chaos]], and rechristened themselves the Skulltakers.{{Fn|3}}
| |

| − | The Skulltakers participated in the [[Siege of Vraks]] in [[M41]].{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2c}} In the latter stages of the siege, they absorbed the [[Berserkers of Skallathrax]] warband into their ranks and struck an alliance with [[The Sanctified]], thus making the followers of [[Khorne]] the dominating force among the defenders of Vraks.{{Fn|2c}}
