Nothing new to see here. The Perturabo Book has a same scene when their stasis bomb works and nullifies the Hrud's entropic powers, one of them comes across a group of Hrud civilians. It pretty much ended the same way.
I'm surprised it was an eldar child Vulkan felt bad about, I thought he felt bad about the human populace that also got caught in the firestorm.
"Lolu held all of the kids down tightly as she watched the head of a teenager get shot off. The corpse of Kevert falling upon the ground with a meaty thump as his entrails were strung across the ground."
Grrr, we still have marines using bloody bolters.
"Lolu didn't see Kevert stick his head up the window, but was monetarily blinded by a flash brighter than anything she had ever seen and her ears heard the crack of superheated air. She could smell the horrific stench of burnt flesh. When her eyes at last dismissed the lingering after image, the glowing lower half of Kevert tumbled into a smoldering mound of slag and bright droplets molten calcium which were once his bones"
See, this is why Volkites and ray weapons are so much better. Leaves a lot less blood and gore. Much easier cleaner up the ashes!
