In the aftermath of battle, Flesh Tearers Chapter Master Amit picks his way across the blasted landscape and is drawn into single combat with a survivor of the enemy force, a berserker dedicated to the Blood God. As they fight, Amit begins to realise that at slaughter’s end, he and the servant of Khorne are not so dissimilar…
This audio provides an insight into the dark soul of the Flesh Tearers Chapter and the rage that lurks beneath the surface. It’s also worth a listen if you want to witness two incredibly angry Space Marines taking chunks out of each other in brutal close combat. It's World Eater against Flesh Tearer, and one thing's for sure — it's going to be bloody.

I have always found Andy Smillie's Tlesh Tearer works to be somewhat one noted, they always start with someone angry and involve events that have angry individuals hitting things. All of said hitting usually involves characters who communicate through growls and headbutts; with little character development other than the body count they can wrack up, At Slaughter's End is no exception.
The story is a simple one with only two characters,' a World Eater champion and the Flesh Tearers Chapter Master; Amit. The drama delivers exactly what is written on the box; two champions conversing before beating the snot out of each other, if that's your idea of a good time then this drama is for you!
An interesting single scene encounter involving a World Eater Chaos Space Marine Champion and an Imperial Flesh Eater Space Marine Champion. A quick delving on their differences and lack of.
The story is very short (under 20 minutes) but under $3 as well so seems not a bad deal. The production value was good, the voice narration and the actual writing. Makes me want to read a full size book.
The length is the reason for a 4 instead of a 5. If they could get me a full novel sized book and it would be 5 all day long.
I appreciated the narrator's and actors' performance. The well-worked sound editing added a great visceral tone to the drama. Concerning the narrative itself, I enjoyed seeing such similarities between the Blood god's follower and the Flesh Tearer. As much as the Flesh Tearer may deny having any commonality with his enemy, it is clear that he craves violence and bloodshed as much as, if not more than, his foe.
