It depends on your view like Authrix said. Besides desperate times call for desperate measures. I'd gladly sacrifice the sisters in exchange to save billions of imperial lives.
Really? No really? You do not see the fluff breaking the actions here? The grey knights, who are literally written as the truest and incorruptible organization by the same guy who then says that they must douse themselves in blood, which can and should bee seen more as a form of Khornate ritual, of sisters of battle to kill one daemon. You know what, I'm just going to put in a quote in the hopes that you understand just how bad the entire subject matter is.
Basically one story in the new Grey Knight Codex, "The Bloodtide Returns", lists the Grey Knights as coming across a planet wherein a powerful Dark Age of Technology nanite weapon controlled by a bloodthirster resided - one so powerful that it was corrupting the populace by flying into their pores and driving them crazy. There was a convent of Sisters that were being slowly wiped out near the site whose faith was keeping them pure and untouched by the taint except for all the ones who were corrupted, and instead of asking for the Sisters' assistance the Grey Knights proceeded to slaughter them all and make wards from their blood, then go about banishing the daemon. Read the fucking fluff some time. All after the codex stating literally that their faith is strong enough to protect them from any kind of daemonic corruption.
Think about this, for just a minute. The Sisters' faith protected some of them from being corrupted. Yet, as has been shown before, there have been a few Sisters of Battle that have fallen to Chaos. In come the Grey Knights, whose faith is so powerful it is quite literally their strongest weapon and their most potent protection. These Grey Knights' faith is not strong enough to withstand the NANITE WEAPONS of Chaos, while the Sisters' is? Does that make ANY sense at all?
This is a classic case of extra heresy; canon to this point had implicitly detailed 3 things:
That the Grey Knights greatly loathe chaos and are completely immune to it's corrupting influence. They wouldn't need a ward made on the spot to withstand daemonic corruption, given that just their Aegis armor would deflect any corruptive influence that would try to tempt them.
That no Grey Knight in the history of the chapter has ever fallen to the temptations of Chaos due to the massive amounts of spiritual and physical indoctrination and training they go through that would make the Space Marines' training and creation regiment look like the guard's conscript training, along with their anti-daemon Aegis armors. In addition, in older fluff, the Grey Knights COULD fall to Chaos, in theory. However, in addition to their intense faith, they closely regulated themselves. If a Battle-brother's reaction to Chaos was anything less than "NO FUCKING WAY!", they would have a force halberd to the face in record time.
That but a single Sister of Battle has fallen to Chaos.
And yet we have this - evidence of the darkest kind of heresy, if not outright Khorne worship, and it's canon.
Burning, Stabbing, Devouring, Changing, Resurrecting and creating in Sanctuary
We have such sights to show you...
