I have no idea whatsoever how they can crowbar that into a GK army, but frankly I dont care. Jokaero! Somebody at GW still remembers rogue trader. Yay!
He is a henchman in an Inqisitorial warband.

It's certainly an improvement on the old one:
What next? Gyrinx? Ptera-squirrels?
Catachan Face-Eaters?

I've already seen an army list with 39 of the little monkeys in it.

Hmm, I've been having a read over the codex (not the leaked playtest copy) and I have to say, the Grey Knights are looking mighty fine. For the cost of 20 Dark Eldar Wyches you get a squad of 10 Grey Knights, statted like regular marines armed with Storm Bolters and Nemesis Force Weapons. They come with a couple of Psychic Powers, Preferred Enemy (daemons) naturally and a host of upgrade options.
This makes them 75 points cheaper for the unit than their previous incarnation, though they no longer count storm bolters as pistols in assault so they only have 1 attack a turn unless they charge.

Petra squirrels, lets see, get some of those bat swarms or D.E flappy beastys, some of those Ork biker heads with goggles, a bit of green stuff.....

All and all I'm not a big fan of what I've seen so far. The GK Termies look like they are doing the "HG" dance. Some of the Khador Warmachine figs with a liberal addition of purity seals and the like would look better. The groovy wrist mounted storm bolters on MK8 guys are too clunky. I just say, "meh".
