Please consider that about 1 in one million of aspirants actually becomes grey knight, and that they are all potent and capable psykers. Their equipment and training is a magnitude above that of a `normal` astartes. Even if 1 drop does kill a baseline human, what about a superhuman? Again, we do not know the properties of The Emperors blood, you`re probably right, but i think an astartes can handle it.

As for the corruption, can we really be sure? The Alpha Legion has layer upon layer of shades and deceit, they are some of the most controversial groups in 40k. It would be a waste to simply corrupt it, i am certain they used it for something, the only question is what, and i have already given an answer i think is plausible.

Will the Alpha Legion play a major role in things to come? Certainly, every 40k character will, the question is: what are they gonna do.
