Welll tehy were, but that doesn't exclude redemption, does it? Anyway, their staying true could not 'make up' for the treachery of Ulfang and his men, indeed that is made good only by Húrin and the house of Hador by sacrfizing themselves, they take on themselves the burden of Ulfang's sins voluntarily.

But the men of Dor Lómin held the rearguard, Húrin and Huor desired; for if they could not win back to their homes, there they would stand to the end. Thus was the treachery of Ulfang redressed and of all the deeds of war that the fathers of men wrought in behalf of the Eldar, the last stand of the men of Dor-Lómin is most renowned.
