Observation: The Dreadful Dread Knight

For those of you returning from your mission to the moon recently, there is some big news: Games Workshop put up the advance orders along with pictures of the new miniatures for Grey Knights. First of all let me congratulate Games Workshop on the Terminators and the regular Grey Knights in power armor - they are brilliant. The heavy weapon guy with the triple barrel is pure brilliance and overall they are outstanding, so beautifully done that I have been convinced to purchase a squad just to build and paint regardless of whether or not I can play it. That being said, what in the name of all that is holy were they thinking with the 'Dread Knight'?
