The reason I took Coteaz is because he is cheap and a good HQ. I'm thinking about playing Grey Knights as a 2nd army so, I don't know that much about GK army building.

Uh...the Brotherhood Banner has nothing to do with Leadership there bud...it gives everyone in the squad +1 attack and makes them automatically pass their psychic test when they use their force weapons.
Between this and not knowing Modraks rules in another thread, I'm starting to think maybe you shouldn't be giving advice on Grey Knights.

It doesn't look too bad to me. I'm no expert but I do have a fe suggestions. I've ran Coteaz a few times and, while he is a bargain, I've found that an OM inq with a psycannon and the psyker upgrade better suits my style. I stick him in with a unit of termies and point them at whatever I want to die. Psycannons+rerolling misses= profit.
Also I'd drop the vindi and the greatsword from the DK. The vindi is good for armor but I think, with Los rolls, it will be hard for him to make his points back. With the extra points and try to get a PT on your GK and squeeze in a unit of interceptors. Also I'd think about swapping the banner for psybolt ammo.
I'm also a big fan of running terminators in my 1k list and they've served me well. Automatically Appended Next Post: I don't have my codex on me but you could also try this.
OM inq w/ psycannon and psyker 110pts
GKTS 10 man w/ 2 psycannons 450pts
GKTS 5 man w/ incinerator 205pts
Dreadknight w/ heavy incinerator and PT 235pts
Totals out to 1k on the dot. Not a great list but it could be pretty scary. Honestly your best bet may be to drop the DK from the list and go for numbers but if you ask me I'd say screw it and use the 2+ badasses

I'm guessing those are 5-man units of Terminators. 13 models at 1000pts is very small.
What is the Vindicare's job? Thanks to LoS, character sniping is useless now, although he can snipe special/heavy weapons effectively. Can be good at tank hunting, though, but the few tanks you would see at 1000pts can be handled by Psycannons and the Dreadknight..
I might suggest the following alternative list:
Ordo Malleus Inq: Terminator Armor, Psycannon, Level 1 Psyker (and always take Prescience from the Divination powers).
10-man Terminator Squad: 2 Psycannons, Psybolt ammo
8-man Strike Squad: 1 Psycannon
Dreadknight: Personal Teleporter + weapon of your choice
That leaves a few points left over for some upgrades, and you can still swap the Inquisitor for Coteaz (and still take Divination powers) if you prefer.

The above list looks pretty solid to me. However, I still think your best bet is to drop the dreadknight. For 235pts you can get more much needed bodies on the field. Heres another spit ball list.
OM inq w/ psycannon and psyker lvl 1 (again ALWAYS take prescience) 110pts
Termintaor Squad (10man) w/ 2 psycannons 450 pts
Terminator Squad (5man) w/ 1 psycannon 225
Strike Squad (10 man) w/ 1 psycannon 210pts
Total: 995
Thats 16 bodies in terminator armor and 10 in power armor. The entire army is able to DS and you have 5 points left over for a servo skull. It is very flexible but suffers badly from range. Just spit balling. Hope this helps!

The above three lists are pretty solid IMO. Not sure how the PT works, is it a shunt like interceptors or a deepstrike? Either way, without it the DK risks getting shot to pieces. My only concern is that you have no mobility other than deepstrike, and that can be risky without a skull or homing device. Good luck

Brotherhood Banner is not really worth it in 5 man squads, as you drop one NFW for it. Net gain is only 2 NFW and 3 CCW attacks. And it changes to 1 NFW, 4 CCW attacks on charge.
Korghans list is far more balanced, though I'd drop the strike squad to 8 men and give it and the 10 termie squad Psybolt ammo.
BTNeophyte: DK can DS anyway. Personal Teleporter makes it Jump MC , so 12" move and gives it the 30" shunt once per game. No assault after shunt though.
But it's extremely expensive, 75 points.

Wow what a helpful comment.. That vindicator better hope it doesn't scatter with its 24" range otherwise it's going to be riddled with psycannon holes. But seriously could you at least try to give suggestions rather than just tear down someones list.

Grey Knight Purgator firing around corners

I recently ran a 1k list that I cobbled together quickly, was quite effective really.
Librarian
-Warp Rift
6xTerminators
-4x Halberds
-1x Falchions
-1x Master Crafted Daemon Hammer
5x GK Strikes
-Psycannon
- Razorback w/ TL HBs, Psybolt Ammo
5x GK Strikes
-Incinerator
- Razorback w/ TL HBs, Psybolt Ammo
Land Raider Crusader
- Multi-melta
Run the Libby with the Termies and jump in the Landy.
Get SSs into position and bail out
Assault out of the Landy if you need to, Warp Rift is nice against just about anything, in my experience.
List totals 990, so you can swap for another set of Falchions on the terminators or take an extra couple of powers for the Librarian if you're inclined.
