I love the look of the grey Knights, but have found them to be total losers. I have played an army almost Identical to this and got whooped big time.
The real fly in the ointment is the near total lack of anti-armor weaponry, You have no ranged weapons save those 2 lonely dreads. In my experience, the enemy blows them up, then tanks you to death.
However, the fellow who suggests that you take assault cannons over lascannons is overlooking the range factor. The Lascannon reaches out 48 inches, the assault cannon only half that. Then too, when the time comes that you play against a monolith, you will have to have a lascannon to knock it out==rending doesn't work on monoliths.
I also think you are wise to go with the missile launcher over the CCW arm. Your Troops will have little enough cover fire, you will need all you can get.
