Never heard of Inquisitor?
They are going to have to make some sacrifices from the background to make the game. What works on a tabletop wargame wont always work in a roleplaying game or computer game. This isn't really a problem as far as I see it.
What the real problem is that we have a developer with no MMO experience and little development experience making an MMO for a publisher with no MMO experience. 75% of all MMOs never get launched allegedly. It would not suprise me if this is one of them.

No they go around on their own usually.... not exactly a fighting class though
Tabula Rasa, for all it's other faults, managed to do this very well - a lot of the areas had NPC good and bad guys being dropped in by drop ship all the time, and there were constant NPC firefights whenever you entered these areas. Since these were also quest areas, there were also always a fair smattering of players , and you tended to get ad-hoc groups of people helping each other out of trouble.
In short, it felt like you were in the middle of a war. If they can implement something similar, even with lots of imperial guard npcs, I'll be extremely happy. The marines are usually in a war for the special bits too, taking on the stuff the guard can't handle, so this would work very well as regards quests and stuff - taking out important installations and the like, while NPCs carry on a war around you.

Warhammer40k version of a priest? Im guessing a librarian could be a paladin.
Grey Knights still hold a Chapter affiliation, as they are drawn from various chapters to fight together.
In Inquisitor a GK marine or two may be attached to an Inquisitor for a specific purpose.
Thats if I remember the fluff right
It never really made sense to me that they are making fantasy warhammer mmo first what with WoW already out and with a huge player base.
They'd make a killing if the upcoming game was based on 40k.
It'll be a race to release this in a few years time before a world of starcraft game comes out
Fantasy mmo is saturated - sci-fi will be where the bucks are now.

Different developers - EA/Mythic don't have the rights to Warhammer40k, it's being done by Relic, the Dawn of War developers. As mentioned above, rather worryingly they have no MMO experience whatsoever. Hope they can pull it off.
But its not like Relic are an inexperienced development house. And GW wouldnt want anyone else to do it because if you gave Blizzard the W40K IP to work an MMO with it would end up being a great MMO with very light resemblance to W40K. GW trust Relic to retain the essence of 40K and make a good MMO.. but i must admit im sceptical.
Unfortunately it isn't being made by Relic. It is being made by Vigil Games who have released...nothing.
They have two games in production Darksiders:Wrath of War (where you play War, from Revelations) and the Warhammer 40K MMO. While the little stuff that has been released for Darksiders looks interesting, I shall reserve judgement until the (console) game is out.

If they do it right, they could end up with a great game, they've got loads of different races to choose from, as well as all the different subsets for the races.
For humans they've got everything from street gangs, primitives, and the like who could progress to imperial guard/marines (male and female)/psychers/tyranids/chaos, then you've got the likes of the orcs, the Tau, the "pure" tyranids etc.
I would like the option of playing as a Tau, especially if they had a path to become a Tau suit pilot (either stealth or crisis), or maybe just a sniper team controller

This could be excellent
Only if done right tho.
I remember a thread a while ago about a Warhammer 40k MMO and people were saying about it would be cool if it was a MMOFPS.
It would be cool if it was an fps.... planetside was an awesome game and would work well with a 40k theme to it
