First off, your list is illegal.
To have 2 psycannons in a GKSS, you need the full ten men (one psycan for every 5 men). This will put you, with a Rhino, at 260pts.

Your model-count is really low. That's... 20 infantry, 2 MC and a tank. In an objective game, you're going to struggle to hold even your own objectives, much less threaten the enemy. I'd consider dropping the Paladins and taking GKT instead. Doing this will gain you another Terminator for the squad.
Paladins are definitely better than normal GKT, but melta-guns ID Paladins, as do Railguns (two very common weapons in 6th).

About Rhinos.... They are basically a free First Blood for the enemy. If you have that few squads, you'll need your GKSS to sit on an objective. And if they are on an objective, there's no need for them to jet about in a Rhino.

In a 1500 pt game, I'd consider not having a GM, and instead taking a Brother-Captain. He has a great stat line, and Grand Strategy is a good ability, but you can spend that 25 pts on other things, like that Grey Knight who is missing from your squad!

You are really hurting for anti-tank. If you can get into assault, then you'll pop tanks left and right, with all those hammers and MCs. BUT will you even be able to make it into assault? Consider dropping the LR, and taking Teleporters on the DKs. This will allow them to get up close and do some damage.

With the extra points, consider a Psyfleman (Dreadnaught with two autocannons with Psybolts = 135pts). He would also help with your anti-tank, and his range is more than 24"!

Here's my 1500 pt list:
Brother Captain with Rad grenades
10 GKT, 2psycan, Banner
10 GKSS, 2psycan
10 GKSS, 2psycan, Hammer
2x Psyflemen
ADL with Quad gun.

While I don't have a DK (and they are great), I feel confident that I can shoot most other armies off the board. I'm good in CC (because of all the power weapons) and I'm good at range (the Dreads and the psycannons). All my stuff can Deep Strike, so I can deploy wherever I want.
The ADL gives me anti-flyer, as well as a 4+ cover for the Dreads and any squads behind it.
