Very interesting picture with a thought provoking story. Most times you cheer for the space marines fighting aliens, it is difficult to think that even aliens have families, children and loved ones. While I have no problems with them killing chaos, orks and tyranids, who I feel are nonredeemable monsters, I feel slightly more hesitant when it comes to craftworld eldar and the tau as I feel those are the two only alien races that have some honor and I hope will be able to make a permanent alliance with the Imperium against the other horrors of the galaxy. The Imperium have enough enemies as it is.



I hope the space marines can find it in themselves to forgive and let their brother live and just send him to have talks of faith with their chaplain and have a period of silent prayer to the Emperor to gather his thoughts and rebuild his faith.



As for the tau children I hope they are allowed to be evacuated to another tau world. This should hopefully improve relations slightly between humanity and the tau, prove to them that here is honor in humanity.



You have you ask yourself this question. Is this what the Emperor really would have wanted? By just senseless butchery you lower yourself to the level of chaos.
