The Genesis of a New Mankind: The Imperium’s Psionic Revolution
The Conclave’s Secret Plan – Page 278
This artwork from If Doom Slayer Joins the Imperium of Man Page 278 portrays a high-level meeting of shadowy Imperial figures plotting a radical transformation of humanity. The focus of their plan is to connect the “Holy Crystal” to a powerful Wave Amplifier and to deploy the recently arrived Platinum fleet to protect Magnus’ domains, particularly the planet Sortiarius. The leaders acknowledge that their original, more aggressive strategy had to be changed due to evolving threats, leading to a more methodical and experimental approach. Central to this plan is the population under Magnus’ control — described as the prototype for a new, evolved mankind. If successful, this group will serve as the first test subjects for a psionic link that can eventually be expanded to Loyalist planets across the Imperium. Their ultimate aim is to forge a psionic connection to the Emperor himself, a feat that could reshape the Imperium — not just with raw power, but through total psychic integration with the Master of Mankind.
