To make a heresy-era Grey Knight list, simply bring a blank sheet of paper for your army list, and bring an empty case for miniatures and you're done! The Grey Knights are a late founding chapter, they were created after the legions were broken into chapters, so there were no more Grey Knights in the heresy than there were Black Templars. Lexicanum says they were 2nd founding, but Realm of Chaos says they were a created during an unregistered founding shortly after the 3rd founding (part of why I don't trust Lexicanum for details). Remember, the inquisition wasn't even formed until very late in the Heresy, either shortly before the Emperor went to face Horus or shortly after depending on which book you read.

Not according to the original fluff for them in the 1988 Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness book, it explicitly says that they were founded in a secret founding after the 3rd founding.

The 70 DG and 1 LW thing isn't a claim; it is canon now. http://www.blacklibrary.com/Horus-Heresy/Flight-of-the-Eisenstein-The.html

What page of the book do they say that on? The book implies that the surviving DG were involved in the start of the inquisition, it doesn't say that they formed the GKs.
