The Doom Slayer’s Final Act
This artwork from the fan comic If Doom Slayer Joins the Imperium of Man captures a pivotal moment where the Doom Slayer, clad in his unmistakable power armor, completes his ultimate mission. Seen from above, his armored form is depicted reaching toward a floating, glowing ring, possibly a symbol of the severed link between the Chaos God Khorne and his most infamous champion, Angron. The sketch-like quality of the image adds an ancient, almost biblical gravitas to the moment, emphasizing the sheer weight of what has transpired. In this final act, the Doom Slayer does what no warrior of the Imperium has ever achieved—he severs Angron’s connection to his infernal master.
A Scene of Triumph and Sacrifice
The lower portion of the image includes a burning, armored gauntlet resting near a scroll that gives thanks to contributors, reinforcing the idea that this is both a conclusion and a moment of recognition. Flames curl around the edges, lending an air of destruction but also renewal, as though something has been set right in the universe. The Doom Slayer’s posture, with one hand outstretched and the other gripping his weapon, suggests both exhaustion and finality. His role as an instrument of pure destruction is evident, yet in this moment, he has become something more—a force capable of severing the very bonds of Chaos itself.
The End of Angron’s Bond to Khorne
The final words written at the bottom of the image confirm the magnitude of the event: “It is done… The link between the Blood God and Angron has been severed!” This statement reshapes the grim darkness of Warhammer 40K, presenting an alternate reality where even the grip of Chaos can be broken by the right warrior. The composition, with Doom Slayer at the center and the floating ring above him, suggests divine intervention or an act of cosmic significance. Whether this is truly the end of Angron’s rampage or simply the beginning of something even more catastrophic remains unknown, but for now, the Doom Slayer has done what the Imperium never could—he has torn a Primarch free from the grasp of a god.
