The first of the rumors, is the first thing that has gotten me excited about playing this army. (Im a little slow to get all worked up dark eldar not included) I cannot imagine really giving D3 units scout. That would mean I take my 3 stormravens all loaded up, and scout them forward. hmmm. I am drooling if I had a webcam on.
Next is a compilation not put together by me, so if it is missing something or wrong, well remember that all rumors require salt. Here they are. Have a great Super Bowl Sunday! Also I have posts lined up for the next couple days on auto pilot, but I will be in Olympia both Monday and Tuesday. So in the morning I might be able to get something going, but I won't be phsyically available for two days.
Here are the rumors.

Grand Master rumoured to pick D3 units during deployment and giving them a special rule:
Makes them scoring (kinda neat for dread and or elite paladins)
Makes them re roll 1s to wound all gameMakes them have counter attack USR.
Makes them Scout
All these units are affected by the one choice.
Terminators equipped with frag and krack grenades.
Summary
Here is a summary posted via Jared Van Kell on Libarium-Online
Released on April 9th with 3 new plastic kits. Power armoured Grey Knights, Grey Knight Terminators and the Dreadknight.
Special Rules
As it stands the Grey Knights lose Fearless and instead gain And They Shall Know No Fear and Combat Squads.
Each Grey Knight Squad will count as a psyker for the purpose of any special rules other armies might have. All units shall act in a similar manner to the Psyker Battle Squad in the Imperial Guard army list.
Any unit that wishes to deep strike may not do so within 6" of a Grey Knight squad.
Incinerators are reportedly template weapons with S5, AP4 and rending. Reportedly ignores cover and invulnerable saves.
Psy-cannons are reportedly S7, AP4 with rending with different profiles for moving or staying still. Reportedly still ignores invulnerable saves.
