This model is a good example of one wonderful thing that GW has understood, and that almost no other miniature company have: Coolness requires contrast.
It is this obviously stupid and undergeared preacher that makes your grey knight lord look all that more imposing. Compare to the snotty grot with a dead squig on a stick that makes the warboss with a 300-pound power claw look way more dangerous. In a world where someone carries around a piece of wood with nails in to hit people over the head, the awesomeness of a powerweapon can be illustrated. In a world where everyone is awesome, noone will be remarkable.
I have this model. I swapped his laspistol for a hand crossbow and used him as a hero in my Witch Hunters warband for Mordheim. At the moment he is undergoing therapy and regaining his laspistol to probably be part of an inquisitors retinue for some Dark Heresy gaming.
