It is kind of embarrassing for them to show these old models next to the new one.
I personally have a different reason to disliking it as well. I love Grey Knights as terminators, and putting their non terminator armor troops in there is disappointing for someone who wanted to start a grey knight army.

I feel the same way towards the tsons, they're known for their sorcerers and rubric marines, so the termies and bird boys seems out of place. Then again like grey knights they have so few kits and with the start collecting existing they'll want to avoid too many duplicates.

Awfully little Thousand Sons in that Thousand Sons Combat Patrol, aye? Less than a quarter of the whole thing.

Depends how you look at it, 1/4 of the models 2/3 of the units and 2/3 to 3/4 of the points in thousand sons marines, although I feel birb boys are as much part of the "thousand sons army" even if they are not thousand sons themselves.

So not a lot of talk about GK here it seems. I'm too busy with TS to go look. Anything notable on their end?

Well goonhammer has a preview: https://www.goonhammer.com/codex-grey-knights-9th-edition-the-goonhammer-review/

Lots of interesting things but to safe for later:

Good Point: Strike Marines (Interceptors, Purifiers, Purgation) are very cost efficient, good and kick ass.

Bad point: 44 points a pop Terminators. Half more then regular marines while getting only 1+ Wound and 1+ Save in return.

Seems to speak to me that the power armoured guys are too cheap more than anything. If the terminators were almost any amount cheaper they'd be so much better than regular marine terminators at 38 it'd be a problem. Or regular terminators are too expensive too. Who knows.
