Quick battle report from last night pitting a Grey Knights force relying heavily on the Vortex of Doom against my Space Marines in a 1750pt Maelstrom mission:

Was your GK friend using the 5th edition GK Codex?

No, why?

Inquisition was his primary detatchment then? The list just looked off to me as the inquisitor was the Warlord, but they're not in the same book anymore

Yeah, the Inquisition is technically his primary as it has the warlord, even though he has a lot more points on the Grey Knights, organized as a Nemesis Strike Force Detachment. I'm not totally sure why he makes the Inquisitor the warlord, especially given the GK get a re-roll on traits with that detachment. There must be some particular ability he's getting with the Inquisition, or he's worried the Librarians will die and give up Slay the Warlord too easily because he's dropping them in up close & throwing vortex blasts around.

He might be going for the orbital bombardment, though there are some nice other WL traits in there depending on the ordo
