If Doom Slayer joins the Imperium of Man Page 147

The Arrival of a Monstrous Threat

In this panel from If Doom Slayer Joins the Imperium of Man, a terrifying figure emerges from the flames. The creature’s skeletal exoskeleton is covered in jagged, organic armor, giving it an eerie, almost alien appearance. Its face is a grotesque fusion of bone and flesh, with deep ridges running down its skull. The entire scene is engulfed in fire and destruction, as buildings crumble and bodies lay scattered in the background. A fallen warrior, likely a Space Marine, lies at its feet, his massive armored gauntlet limp and lifeless. The overwhelming sense of dread is reinforced by the background, where more monstrous beings rise from the ruins.

A Battlefield Consumed by Chaos

The setting is pure carnage, with smoke and debris filling the air. In the upper panel, we see a figure being torn apart mid-air, as if thrown with unnatural force. Flames lick the edges of the scene, suggesting this battle has already raged for some time. To the right of the monstrous figure, a twisted, horned being looms, resembling a Chaos-infested warrior. The battlefield is littered with alien and demonic horrors, their grotesque forms crawling over the wreckage. There is no sign of hope—only an unstoppable force of destruction sweeping through the war zone.

A Hopeless Struggle

The sheer dominance of the creature is made clear by the composition of the panel. It stands tall, surrounded by ruin, unchallenged by anything in sight. The fallen Space Marine at its feet is a symbol of the Imperium’s struggle against this horror. Every detail, from the intricate textures of the beast’s armor to the smoldering battlefield, emphasizes the overwhelming power of this entity. There’s a raw, almost nightmarish quality to the art, reinforcing the grimdark nature of Warhammer 40,000. This scene leaves one lingering question: even if the Doom Slayer has joined the Imperium, will it be enough to stop the tide of destruction?
