I have had quite a few quick questions regarding the Grey Knights as I read the codex more and started to try out new things.
Instead of starting new thread every time, I thought it might be more useful to start a general GK FAQ thread, so all GK related questions and answers can be put in one place.
Anyone can ask questions, and I will periodically update the OP to include more questions as people as them, and any answers when it appears that the community has reached a consensus.
This should make it more useful for all users so they do not need to trawl through pages and pages to find the information they are interested in.
So, I guess I will get the ball rolling.
Question
1. Would the Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon work if the model equipped with it was embarked in a vehicle? Would the kind of vehicle (ie, whether the said vehicle has any firing points) it is embarked on count in terms of whether it is working or not?
Answer
Yes, the Syphon would work even if embarked in any vehicle.

It is not a weapon and doesn't need line of sight so no firing points needed. It only requires that the plasma model is within 12" of it, It would also work while it's in a vehicle, measuring from the hull as this is the case with all similarly wording rules.
Question
2. If a unit of Grey Knights with Halberts won combat and the enemy flees, what initiative does the GK squad use to see if they can catch the enemy?
Answer
Curtsey of Duo Sonata
the wording for Halberds only says that the model strikes at +2 I, not anything else. Additionally Sweeping Advances state that you do not add any modifiers when rolling, only the base I characteristic.
Question
3. For a unit of Grey Knights with Halberts, what initiative would be they use for initiative tests such as from JoTWW or Warp Rift etc.
Answer
Base initiative would be used.
[Question
4. What would happen if two Grey Knights squads both equipped with Psychotrocke Grenades assaulted the same enemy unit?
Answer
Both results would apply, the wording of the rules actually means none of the results can stack if the same number is rolled. If that happened, it would appear that you would just get that one affect.
Added: Curtsey of Duo again.
In the case where two 6s are rolled and the unit targeted would need to perform two initiative tests, and the results would apply if a single test was failed.
Question
5. Justicar Thawn does not have the Brotherhood of psykers special rule. Does this mean he needs to activate his force weapon separately from the rest of the squad like an attached independent character would?
Question
6. In a kill points game, how many kill points would Thawn and his terminator squad yield if they were dead by the game end, but Thawn had not been killed before, and hence had not resurrected before?
Answer
In this case, Thawn and his squad would only give up one kill point as he has not become a separate unit at that point.
