Well the knight that was possesed didn't fall to chaos and turn demonic and blah blah blah become traitor etc. I never said the GK agreed with the liquidisation of the IG regiments. The Inquisition are just bitchy over the Imperiums greatest weapons being kept secret. Because that is what makes them so deadly. The arch-traitor forces of chaos know next to nothing on the GK.
In relation of Psyker powers to the Thousand Sons. The legion wasn't entirely psychic. The Grey Knights are. Of course hardly anyone bar Kaldor Draigo and the strongest in the Chapter could rival Magnus the Red.
They're still extremely strong though or do you forget it was just a simple justicar who shattered Angron's legendary black blade?
If it was the Wolves as a legion, they'd probably win through sheer scale of number of 100-1. However, with the reputation and skill and powers of the GK, they'd be giving the wolves a run for their money. Especially as when facing the entire of Angron's armies on Armageddon (which numbered millions) they only lost the one company to the man in comparison to the devastating losses of the Imperial Guard, PDF, Inquisition troops and Space Marine Chapters etc.
You can understand why the Inquisition want to keep the Grey Knights a secret. Secrecy is a powerful thing.
As for the whole Bjorn would fuck them over in knowledge etc...the Grey Knights have seen primarchs. Draigo carved his predecessors name into Mortarions heart, Angron has been banished numerous times by the GK. As well as this, the 8 founding space marines had all seen their respective primarchs. Nobody knows what happened to them so it is a possibility they're still alive somewhere perhaps.
Knowledge...c'mon...the Grey Knights have access to every single Imperial record ever. Stretching right back before the heresy. The GK have access to even forbidden knowledge.. They also have a book containing every demons name.. Now if that isn't an upperhand I don't know what is.
The GK can't declare outright war on anyone. The Inquisition fat cats do.
The Grey Knights would be so much better if the current day Inquisition didn't have them held tight on a leash.
Just as the Space Wolves are the Emperor's lapdogs, so too are the Grey Knights the Inquisitions.
Not all would side with the Inquisition correct but the many would. Many chapters are extremely zealous. The Black Templars, The Ultramarines, The Dark Angels etc.
The Inquisition could cause extreme damage to the Space Marines too. They do have their methods after all.
Personally I dislike a majority of the current Inquisition but I think that right in its roots it was a good thing.
To be just, our law must be cruel.
To stand upon the bedrock of law is our great duty. To presume to stand above it is our worst heresy.
We determine the guilty. We decide the punishment.
