Forgeworld is directed towards veteran hobby player, so I would think they wouldn't necessarily have the best paint jobs(more tabletop std than golden demon) published. It's probably to give those vets a good starting point to go "nuts" with the model.
I purposely bought the Salamanders relic contemptor just so I can paint it better than their studio pics.
The paint job on that sump croc is just horrendous.
Khornate dragon looks badass .

The dragon looks good, the rider...
The rider doesn't look baddass to me looks more like someone you see and think, " For the 'special needs' he has had to over come, I am super impressed with how far he has progressed, awesome work keep it up mate ".
For $870 AU I would never buy this (or any model tbh), so I am not in the market bracket they are aiming for anyway. But the dragon looks good, apart from that left arm and the thing that goes up to the rider, looks like went overboard on blobs of greenstuff and forgot to sculpt it and thought "f*** it throw some skulls in there".
EDIT:
I could make a lot worse jokes like the 70's movie deliverance orientated etc, but I choose to restrain myself.

There is an error on the fw page description. It implies skalok is the rider. But the PDF rules sheet it's clear skalok is the dragon.

The rider is ugly, what were they thinking?!
The first one from the preview war far better.
Anyway, another Khorne release that I do not find that
interesting, but it is just my opinion.

I actually like the new rider more. While they both look like they've been sitting on that dragon for some time, new one looks more scarred, mutated and twisted and grimdark.

But the old one was very similar with a ton of new AoS-only Khorne Characters.

It's weird how they get so far into a model enough to actually show us the progress, like with that original rider and everyone (generally) likes the aesthetic or sculpt and then 'BOOM From outta nowhere!' a different less appealing model. They did the same thing a while back with Ereubus from the Word Bearers, the preview bare head was simply brilliant and then the release made him look like Freddy Krueger's grandfather got smashed in the face with a hot frypan.

Honestly can't stand the rider or the dragon, how hard would be to have the armour separate on the tail they've done it on the claws.

Okay so guns are pretty good. 5++ inv nice. It has improved movement over infantry and swarms compared to knights and YES for the imaginary base thing. Clears up how it works compared to vault where I got into weird arqument how it works
Albeit on flip side can't hit infantry on ruin 2nd floor millimeters away from the claw.

I like it. Definitely favour the Synaptic Obliterators, if only because my own Necron list doesn't have a great deal of anti-tank oomph in it.
625 points doesn't seem massively unreasonable to me. Not for T8, 28 Wounds, 3+, Living Metal and a 5+ Inv.

Am I missing something or are the Transdimensional Projectors a significant downgrade over the default weapons? Never mind, you swap the default weapons for the AT guns and projectors. Not either or.

You get 2d3 16/-4/6 and 2d6 S6 -3 d3(with mortal wound chance) over 6d3 S8 -3 d6 with MW's. So maybe worse vs big lone models(haven't mathed it yet) but # of shots at least nearly doubles. And S16 matters a lot vs T8(knights) and flat D6 is pretty good as well
edit:Ah you noticed it
edit: Vs knights: default loadout makes 9.33 wounds plus mortals(from average 4 hits). Secondary causes 10,96+mortals from average 4.66 hits. So vs knights the default weapon is actually worse. Albeit less on/off with result due to more shots with the big gun

On paper that thing looks like a wrecking machine.
Good shooting, good movement, good hand to hand options, good wounds + inv save and not hyper priced like some other super heavies.

The paint job kinda makes it look like it's made out of MDF.
It's very cool, though. Nice to see something 40k and xenos.
